Story
Brad Pitt was dumped in our neighborhood Christmas Eve 2023. The vet told us he was roughly a year old. We posted him on Facebook pages. We notified vet offices in our area. When we didn’t get any responses, we decided to get him ready for adoption. He’s been fixed and he’s up-to-date on shots. We got him microchipped. Unfortunately our two dogs will not allow him to integrate into our home setting. Currently, Brad stays in a downstairs bedroom and we take him to puppy daycare three times a week. We want to find him a home where he can integrate and not be separated. He is a sweet, handsome boy looking for his forever home.

Story
Meet Arlo, a sweet & energetic newly 1 yr old, 55 lb boy who is ready for his furever home where he can play until he can’t play any more. Arlo is truly a family dog as he loves his foster human brother as much as he loves playing with his dog foster siblings. He loves to play with other young dogs who can keep up with him and will spend all day wrestling or playing chase. Since Despite his big size, Arlo is still very much a puppy so expect lots of mouthy play moments…he likes to put his mouth on other dogs when playing and nibble on them which they don't always appreciate. Due to his highly playful nature, Arlo is usually too much for senior dogs and cats. Arlo does love other dogs, people & really just everything life brings his way like any big puppy love. Arlo loves to cuddle on the couch with his people. He is also a big fan of giving kisses which can turn into puppy nibbles. Arlo currently lives in a home with a 4 year old boy who he loves to play with and keep safe. He also lives with 9 dog foster siblings. He knows some commands and we are working on others as he is a big people pleaser. Arlo is crate trained, leash trained and loves car rides. He is also fully vetted, microchipped and ready for his furever family. We believe Arlo would do best in an active home with a playful dog friend who has as much energy as Arlo or with family/person who would love to play with him, go for long walks and cuddle when they are done. Arlo thinks he is a lap dog despite his size, so be prepared for a full lap and lots of puppy kisses. Arlo is currently located in Nashville, TN, but transport will be arranged for the right home.

Story
🐾 Looking for a Loving Home for a Sweet Girl 🐾 We have had this sweet dog for about 4 years, and she truly is a loving, loyal companion. She will happily follow you wherever you go and loves being close to her people so if you enjoy a shadow dog she perfect for you! When we adopted her from the pound, she was treated for heartworms. They are now dormant, and she has been doing well since. She does have some anxiety and can be sensitive to loud noises. Car rides make her pant, and things like the vacuum or sudden movements especially from younger children can make her nervous. She is not aggressive at all, just shy and easily startled. She would do best in: A home with a fenced yard where she can run and zoom around. Someone who has time to give her attention and reassurance. A calmer environment without lots of sudden activity. She lives with smaller dogs and honestly thinks she their size; she enjoys being part of the pack and always wants to be first back inside

Story
She showed up at someone's home in Cheatham Co. and was fostered a few weeks until we connected via the shelter's Facebook page. Her background is unknown before we got her Dec. 2023 Her nipples were pronounced, so obviously she had recently had a litter. She has been regularly cared for at Kingston Springs Animal Hospital. Our vet thought she was 3-4 years old based on her teeth, but a dog trainer believed she was under 2 based on her behavior. We had several visits with a trainer, but we have been unable to alleviate her anxiety. She is VERY sweet and cuddly. We love her! She has gotten along with our 14 year old pittie, but they have had some recent disagreements. We have an active toddler and she is great with her! We've never feared her hurting our daughter. She struggles with anxiety and we simply do not have the time to provide her with the care and attention she needs. Her new owners must have time and knowledge on how to invest in this precious pup!

Story
  Hey there… I’m Turbo.   I’m a 3-year-old, 47-pound Pitbull mix with a handsome black-and-white coat and a smile that seems to win people over pretty quickly. I ended up in the shelter because my dad felt I was spending too much time alone in my crate, and he wanted something better for me—a home where I’d get more love, time, and attention. I’m hoping that person might be you.   I used to be housebroken and crate trained, and while shelter life has changed my routine a bit, I’m a smart guy and should pick things back up in no time with a little consistency.   What really matters most about me? I love people. I’m friendly, affectionate, and I get along great with other dogs and kids. I’m the kind of dog who just wants to be part of the family—whether that’s playtime in the yard or relaxing by your side.   Summer is right around the corner, and I can’t help but dream about spending it with my very own forever family. Maybe that could be with you?   Let’s meet—I’d love to show you what a great companion I am.Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
Benji is about 7, a big tank, a big sweet potato who wants all the love and to give you non-stop kisses.He is a protector. He loves everyone and wants to be their friend. He gets a bit too excited around other dogs and will bite them if they try to hump him. He loves little kids but be careful as they can’t put fingers in his carrier. Or if they wrestle too much he gets worked up and will bite. Wrestling and rough housing should be with adults only. He is perfectly fine with toys. We have a 6 year old who he plays with and nothings happened. He does have a medical issue. He hasn’t been diagnosed with Cushing disease but everything else has been ruled out. He has the excessive thirst and have to monitor water intake. If he drinks too fast he will throw up all the water. He is not on medicine. Whoever adopts him should be prepared for vet bills. We would keep him but due to age and moving to another country the cost is too much. We want him to enjoy his senior years with someone caring.
