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
Please know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with her. In fact, it’s quite the contrary. She is sweet, energetic, and loves all people, both adults and children. She has a regular vet, up to date on all immunizations and gets her flea, tick and heart worm prevention on schedule. She’s loved in the neighborhood even though she crazily jumps on everyone she meets along her short walks. We’re just not in a position to keep her because we work all day and she is kept in the crate while we’re gone. We live in an apartment and she’s limited as to what we can do in the apartment because we can’t make too much noise during play. She has very high energy and needs to be somewhere where she can play and release energy each day. It would be ideal for her to be in a family that has a backyard or time to take her to the park each day. We just want her to be happy and able to move about freely. I also can’t afford her.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Freddie! Freddie is the total package—sweet, affectionate, and ready to become someone’s best friend! This handsome boy has the most adorable pumpkin-colored coat and beautiful eyes that are sure to steal your heart. Freddie loves everyone he meets, whether it’s people, kids, or other dogs. He especially enjoys cuddling up with his foster brother, George, and happily soaks up all the love and attention from his foster family’s children. Belly rubs are one of his favorite things, and he’s always ready to snuggle after a little playtime. He’s playful without being overly energetic, making him a wonderful companion for a variety of homes. Freddie has recently started learning to walk on a leash and is doing an excellent job—he walks nicely without much pulling. He’s also doing great with his house training. He knows he’s supposed to potty outside and, with regular opportunities, has been very successful with only one accident in his foster home. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving pup with a sweet personality and just the right amount of playful energy, Freddie is ready to meet you!   .    Medical Notes:   Neutered Microchipped Microchipped Dewormed Monthly fles/tick/heartworm preventatives  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 21, 2026, 6:54 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Maryland! Maryland came to Proverbs with her seven puppies from Memphis Animal Services. After arriving in our care, we discovered she was heartworm positive. She has since completed her heartworm treatment, is now heartworm-free, and is ready to find her forever home! This sweet mama has done an amazing job raising her puppies, and now it's her turn to enjoy the life she deserves. While she's happy to run around and play at the dog park, she's just as content spending most of her day curled up for a cozy nap, especially if it includes the occasional belly rub. Maryland is incredibly friendly and gets along wonderfully with people, children, and other dogs. She would be a perfect addition to just about any family. She's old enough to have outgrown the puppy chewing phase but still young enough to enjoy many years of adventures by your side. Whether you have a busy, active household or a quieter home, Maryland fits right in. She doesn't mind a big, lively family, but she's also perfectly content relaxing while her people are away at work during the day.
