Story
Craving a cuddly canine companion that likes to give kisses and go for long walks?  If so, Miss Pattie may be the girl for you.  This voluptuous girl is a perfect blend of chill and playful.  She is estimated to be around 8 years old but her personality and actions are more like she is around 3 to 5.  Her eyes say it all, "I am sweet and lovable ". House/crate trained, knows some commands and takes treats VERY gently are some very desirable qualities Patti has to offer.  Her perfect home would be one where she is a house dog with a family that makes her a part of their pack and involved with their activities.  She is not a fan of being outside alone for very long, she prefers to be in the house where her people are.   She has done well with the other dogs in the household tho she can have some food issues when eating a meal and if another pet someone tried to take her food. But, there has only been noise.  Because of that we feed her separately.  But, has had no issues with treats or toys.  Since being rescued by TOTU in July she has been treated for heartworms, spayed and is now ready for her forever home.  Could it be yours?

Story
Sassy is approximately a 7 year old pitbull mix weighing about 60lbs. She is fully vaccinated and now looking for her forever family.  Despite some of her scars (a wonky ear), which tells a tale of survival, her spirits remain unbroken. She’s your typical pitty with so much love to give. She only gets sweeter by the day. She was found as a stray and has since been with her foster mom being completely spoiled, enjoying daily adventures in Charlotte, NC.  Sassy is such a love and truly is just happy being by your side. She loves a dog bed and settles quickly. She is easily entertained with bully sticks, benebones, and toys. She loves to sunbathe in the backyard and lay where ever the sun hits and will gladly accept a belly rub while doing so. She is crate trained, house trained, and sleeps quietly in the crate any time needed. She rides well in the car in a car kennel. She has a goofy personality with lots of silly behavior that will keep you laughing all day. She loves meal times and will come in from outside doing her “bunny hops”. Look out for her classic “sassy” lip smack. She is very gentle when taking treats and knows “Sit”like the back of her paw. She’s doing well with bath time and grooming. She loves going for car rides and taking walks to sniff all the new smells. Car rides and walks are definitely high on her list of favorite things (besides snacks). She is working with her foster mom, who is a dog trainer, on her loose-leash walk using a Herm Sprenger Prong Collar. Having a strong handler familiar with the breed to hold her accountable is recommended. She is also working on other commands like place, here, heel and wait. She does well passing other dogs. Sassy has high prey drive for small critters so she would do best in a home with no cats and at least a 6 foot fence. She’s done well with the other 2 year old female dog in the house. She can become over stimulated at first and likes to sniff intently but is easily redirected and will nicely coexist with some management. No barrier aggression while in a crate. She would likely do best with another neutral dog, medium sized or bigger, who doesn’t become over stimulated. Or fine as an only dog, so she can have all the attention!  While Sassy hasn’t spent much 1 on 1 time with kids, her friendly nature suggests she would be good with them. She has done well passing play grounds and athletic fields.  Sassy will come with 25% off any continued training for her that is signed up for with her foster mom.

Story
Landry is one of those sadly and insane stories of a dog spending month after month at a small rural shelter and constantly facing the chance of being the next one euthanized.  The shelter workers were determined to not let that happen.  They fought and they finally won the threat of him never leaving when they found a foster lady to take Landry and keep him safe out of the shelter and helping him search for a home.  This boy was so upset at the shelter because it is not a good environment to live when you just want to play and run and of course there is no room to do that in a small kennel!  The shelter people KNEW that Landry was a dog they needed to help save.  Yes he is a Pitbull mix…but his heart is that of a Golden Retriever temperament. Landry has proven himself to be a great boy and just as friendly and loving with people as a Golden Retriever would be.  He is exceptional with kitties and EXCELLENT with other dogs! This boy just wants to have fun and help everyone around him to enjoy life together with him.  Landry is already neutered, HW-, has 4 rounds of vaccines currently and rabies all done!! He’s 100% ready for his forever home! He does great sleeping in a crate at night and loves snuggle and belly rub time!! Landry is 40ish pounds, and is truly NOT a big dog at all. He’s a short stocky boy that is estimated to be around 8 months. If you have a heart to save and love a Pittie mix then Landry will NOT disappoint.  Let’s get this boy into a forever home fast so he can bond with his family and have the best life possible!!   Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue about giving Landry a new home. Email us at 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.comApril 23, 2024, 4:30 pm

Story
Boys just want to play, play, play. I am a 3 month old male boxer mix. I was a stray and ended up at the shelter. I am a big love bug and want to be with my human. I am loving playing with other dogs but they often do not like to me in their space. When that happens I go about my business. I want to please the humans and will be a quick learner when it comes to manners. I am going to need a fenced in yard to play around in. I would like to have a canine friend but if my human is active and wants to play I will be okay. Because I am young, I will need to work on training including housebreaking. I am doing well in a crate when I need to be but again I want to be next to my human. I am learning to play with toys and liking the toys. I am hoping I will find someone that will love me and play with me. I will need a lot os pets and treats. If this is your home fill out an application and someone will be in touch with you.
