Story
Magnolia is a young (born 8.14.22) spayed female Akita. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, on flea/heartworm prevention, heartworm negative, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Magnolia first came to our attention when she was listed on Craigslist as "FREE - Urgent Sick Puppy In Need Of Fenced Yard". Basically, she had been purchased by a back yard pitbull breeder, with the intent to breed her and create pit/Akita crosses, in Washington DC. She had been kept in a crate constantly, leading to pressure sores and urinary problems. We scrambled to find transport, but when we found some and went to contact the poster, the post was gone. A few days later, a new post appeared. Some kind person had rescued the puppy from the previous owner, but was not equipped to keep her. We reached out to them and quickly arranged transport for the puppy. The poor puppy hadn't even come with a name (though we later discovered it had been River, but felt she needed a new one), let alone any medical records. The rabies tag she was wearing belonged to a miniature Poodle from a vet practice in Maryland that had never even seen the Akita puppy. Magnolia is now safe with us, recovering medically, and learning how to live like a normal pup and interact with people. She is super sweet and LOVES playing with other dogs, but is still shy with people. She would do well in a home with a male canine companion.

Valerian is an adult (born approx 4.1.17) neutered male Akita. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, on flea/heartworm prevention, house trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Valerian was surrenderd to the shelter in Chesapeake, VA when the owner could no longer care for him. He had previously lived outside in a pen and was uncertain and stand off-ish when he first came to us, but he warmed up to a goofy, woo-ing, wiggle butt boy. He is just so sweet! Valerian would be fine in a home with children 12+ due to his high energy level and as an only pet.

Story
Marley is a beautiful purebred Husky girl that is a nice settled 6 year old girl that is 45 pounds and rescued from a totally inhumane living environment for the last 4 years.   This girl needs some patience, love, training to not jump on you as you enter her space to pet her and a first time ever inside home.  She has lived in a neglected backyard environment that has resulted in her having heartworms which are being treated now. She will be fine after the treatment is done.  We are desperately trying to help the family who took and the other dog in to their home to give them fresh water daily (not the black rain water in the kiddie pool), food daily (instead of every 4 days) and a grassy environment that is mowed weekly and no 7 feet tall with weeds.  We are all working hard to get her and the other dog (can be separated) the good and caring homes and people to love them.  Marley deserves a dream come true new place in life.  She is not housebroken at the moment due to the years living outside.  But that can change in a short time with a schedule and patience.  This girl is playful, friendly and good with other dogs and people.  She just needs to learn NOT to jump on them with her joyful greetings.  Help us give Marley a true Cinderella story of rising from the neglect and abandonment she came from and let’s put her in a castle.  We want her to have a good life and all we need is a person with a rescue kind of heart.  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@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.comNovember 4, 2024, 11:48 pm
