Story
Ruby – A Precious Gem Looking for Her Forever Family Every great story has a beginning, and Ruby's begins with the incredible love of a mother. Once upon a time, there was a desperate, pregnant Great Pyrenees mama dog searching for a safe place to bring her babies into the world. After searching high and low, she found a small rental house with a shed out back. Quietly, she dug herself a shelter beneath the house and, all alone, gave birth to ten beautiful puppies. She had no family of her own, no one bringing her food or water, and no safe place to raise her babies. When the tenant discovered the tiny family, she also alerted the landlord—who wanted the puppies gone and even threatened to drown them and throw their devoted mama out. Their future was hanging by a thread. Thankfully, Critter Cavalry Rescue was called. At just three days old, the ten precious puppies and mama were whisked away to the safety of an experienced foster home where this little family could finally rest, grow, and simply be together. Lady Anne, a beautiful Great Pyrenees weighing about 70 pounds, lovingly raised her babies for seven wonderful weeks before they moved into smaller foster homes to receive even more individual attention, socialization, and love. One of those precious puppies is Ruby...and she truly lives up to her gemstone name. Ruby is exactly what you'd hope for in a Great Pyrenees puppy—gentle, intelligent, affectionate, and quietly observant. While the world buzzes around her, Ruby often takes a moment to sit back and watch before happily joining the fun. She has a calm confidence about her that makes everyone fall in love. She absolutely melts when she's scooped up for cuddles and happily soaks up every bit of affection you have to give. Nothing seems to ruffle this sweet girl's feathers, and her easygoing personality makes her a joy to have around. Ruby is doing wonderfully with house training and puppy pads and is proving to be one very smart little lady. She is growing up with a huge Golden Retriever, a 60-pound Husky, a Rat Terrier, a Schnauzer mix, and several of her siblings, so she's wonderfully social and comfortable around dogs of every size and personality. She is expected to mature around her mama's 70-pound size and will no doubt become a breathtakingly beautiful companion with the loyal, loving heart Great Pyrenees are famous for. If you're looking for a best friend with a gentle soul, a peaceful spirit, and endless love to give, Ruby may be the missing piece your family has been waiting for. Ruby will be ready for her forever home after August 5th. To learn more about adopting Ruby, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.August 13, 2026, 12:35 am

Story
  Meet Lady Anne, a stunning 4-year-old Great Pyrenees whose story is one of resilience, devotion, and unconditional love.   When it came time to give birth, Lady Anne did what any devoted mother would do—she searched for a place she believed would keep her babies safe. She chose a quiet spot beneath a shed, only for that refuge to become anything but safe. Thankfully, a compassionate neighbor recognized the danger and reached out for help. Critter Cavalry stepped in just in time, giving Lady Anne and her nine newborn puppies the second chance they so desperately needed.   Placed with an experienced foster family, Lady Anne slowly learned that she and her puppies were finally safe. At first, she was understandably protective, but with patience and kindness she allowed her foster family to help her. Beneath her thick coat were painful mats, ticks, and fleas, and she needed a gentle grooming and a trimmed belly so her puppies could nurse comfortably. Through it all, her only concern was her babies.   For seven weeks, Lady Anne rarely left their side. As the puppies grew, she would ask to step out of their pen, only to lie beside the fence, faithfully watching over them. Day and night, she stood guard, making sure every puppy was safe. Even after they were weaned, she continued her watch. It wasn't until each puppy had gone to a loving home and the pen stood empty that Lady Anne finally walked into the air-conditioned house, curled up, and truly rested.   Her watch was finally over.   But Great Pyrenees are born with a purpose, and Lady Anne simply found a new one. She now happily patrols the fence lines, checking on the livestock with quiet confidence before making her rounds to visit the very dogs she once chased away from her puppies. Today, they're all friends.   Lady Anne can be a little reserved when meeting new people, taking her time to decide who she can trust. Once she knows your intentions are kind, however, she gives you her whole heart. She'll greet you with joyful full-body wiggles, lean into your affection, and 'talk' to you in her soft, gentle Pyrenees whines that seem to say just how happy she is to be by your side. She is cat-friendly, easygoing, gentle, and deeply loyal—the kind of dog who doesn't just become a pet but a steadfast companion. Lady Anne has already proven what an incredible guardian she is. Now she's looking for a family of her own to love and protect.   If you give this remarkable girl a chance, she'll spend the rest of her life reminding you that some of the greatest hearts belong to those who have overcome the hardest beginnings.   Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue is you are interested in having this beauty as a part of your life.  ccrtennessee@gmail.com   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comAugust 13, 2026, 12:35 am

Story
Meet Bones!  Some dogs just need someone willing to see the world a little differently. Bones is one of those dogs. At just over a year old and around 80 pounds, Bones is a gorgeous Great Pyrenees/Heeler mix with a big heart, a joyful spirit, and a smile that lights up a room. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, on heartworm prevention, and ready to find the family he's been waiting for. Bones is deaf, but don't let that fool you—he is incredibly smart and highly trainable. He already knows hand signals for 'come' and 'sit' and has shown just how capable he is of learning. He loves people, thrives on interaction, and wakes up every day excited for whatever adventure comes next. Raised by an experienced rescuer, Bones has lived around multiple dogs and has zero history of aggression toward other dogs. He loves canine companionship and enjoys playtime with dogs of various sizes. Because he is a big, enthusiastic boy who doesn't always realize his own size and strength, very tiny or fragile dogs may not be the best fit simply because his play style can be exuberant. Bones has spent much of his life outdoors but is also comfortable spending time indoors when supervised. He adapts well and enjoys being part of the family. Because Bones is deaf, he cannot hear growls, hisses, or other warning signals from animals around him. Unfortunately, there have been incidents involving cats, and he should not be placed in a home with cats or other small animals. This is not a reflection of aggression, but it does mean he needs a home where everyone can be kept safe.  The decision to rehome Bones was made with tremendous love and care. He is not a problem dog. He is a special dog who deserves a home that understands his unique needs and appreciates everything that makes him wonderful. If you have a soft spot for dogs who are a little different, a little extraordinary, and completely deserving of a chance, Bones may be exactly the companion you've been looking for..Please email Critter Cavalry at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.August 13, 2026, 12:35 am
