Story
In January 2020, Jelly came into my life through the SPCA. Although he was listed as a two-year-old, he was closer to just one year old at the time. He and my husband shared a bond, Jelly truly became his dog. They spent LOTS of time together. Tragically, the sudden passing of my husband October 8, 2022, has left jelly alone…Due to my demanding work schedule, Jelly spends most days in a crate. I'm unable to provide him the walks or the attention he so deeply needs. Jelly remains at home longing for companionship and activity he received from my husband. He had obedience training early on and knows all the basic commands—sit, stay, heel, stop, and more. He has been around my three grandchildren, ages 10, 7, and 3, since his adoption and is wonderful with them but NOT around many other dogs or cats. Jelly deserves a life filled with attention, long walks, and a family that can dote on him.

Story
Location: Middlesboro, KYOur posts about Miss Smiley need all the love and shares they can get! This girl is so special, and she deserves a happily ever after! Smiley was an owner surrender to Kentucky River Regional Animal Shelter back in November and before that she likely spent her life on a chain somewhere being used for breeding. This perfect girl is now spayed and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. She is heartworm positive and will need treatment, but she has wonderful people willing to donate to the treatment she needs! If you or anyone you know may be interested in adding this amazing lady to your family, or if you have connections with a rescue who could help, please let me know! Here is some additional info about Smiley: Smiley is an older gal with a chill personality but still will get excited and romp around for belly rubs and a chance to show you her beautiful smile! She would probably do best in a home as an only pet or with someone who could provide her with training for her doggy manners. She could possibly do really well with another dog who is very playful as well! She has probably not had many positive interactions with other animals aside from her own puppies so she gets overly excited, and she also seems to think that she needs to be a mother to small dogs! She has met a cat in her foster home and seems to be okay with him but also gets excited when he does something interesting. Smiley is a couch potato and enjoys nothing more than hanging out with her people and snuggling! She weighs 72 pounds. She looks like an American Staffordshire Terrier or a similar breed so she is a beautiful stocky girl! Smiley walks really well on a leash and is completely potty trained as well!

Story
Meet Bruno and Justice, these 2 were abandoned outside of our facility back in March and were never claimed. Bruno and Justice are both 4 years old and absolutely love each other. We know it is not easy to adopt out 2 dogs together, so it is best that we adopt them out separately so they do not have to wait here any longer than necessary. Bruno is the solid black Pitbull mix, he was very nervous when we first caught him but he has started to come out of his shell the more we work with him. Bruno will be protective of your home so please keep that inconsideration if thinking about adopting him. Bruno would need a meet and greet with any dogs in the home, he can not be in a home with cats, and do to his nervousness, we suggest no home with kids under the age of 16. Once Bruno gets to know you, he shows so much affection, he loves to be with his person, loves belly rubs and all the love .Justice will also need to be in a home with no cats, she also requires a meet and greet with any dogs in the home. Justice loves to play with her toys, she could play ball majority of the day. She and Bruno both love going on walks. Justice is also a love bug when it comes to sitting down and just have you love on her.

Story
Spot is affectionately nicknamed “Dairy” by his foster mom because of his resemblance to a little Dairy cow! He has a sweet, happy and snuggly personality. Loves people and other dogs his size that enjoy a rough and tumble play style. No Cats or other small animals. Knows sit and is pretty much HOUSEBROKEN! Approx a year old, 60lbs, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped—-he’s ready to go! Spot has lots of energy, loves to chew on bones and stuffies and play the occasional game of fetch. Has a lot of “puppy” still in him and would benefit greatly from some basic manners training. Spot had a family and used to go on walks around the neighborhood with his human child friend. One day he had a run-in with a kitty cat and wound up in the shelter. If you’re interested in meeting Spot aka “Dairy” email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Spot” in the subject line.

Story
We have a special boy to introduce to the families and couples out there wanting a truly special older pup that is totally trained and waiting to love you to pieces. True Blue Toby is a 10 month old Boxer mix puppy that was found as a stray and not in the best shape.  In fact he looked terrible and we felt so bad for this boy to have suffered for so many months.  Once he came to our care we got to work on clearing up hair loss and getting him healthy from those pesky intestinal worms and putting good weight on him.  Gosh Toby is the best boy with a wonderful personality that embraces everyone with love and the anticipation to become steadfast friends.  Shy at first, this boy has blossomed and is Mr. Outgoing in every way.  He just wants to hang out with his humans and love them with full gratitude for making him such a healthy boy.  Housebroken, crate trained and wonderful with other dogs and cats, he is the truly total package if you are looking for a medium sized dog.  He is going to be a 50 pound adult and what a handsome Boxer mix boy he is turning in to.   Email us at Critter Cavalry Rescue :   ccrnewengland@gmail.com   We know will be glad you considered this boy as your very own. 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

When people think of Snow, they think cold. With this Snow, picture warmth, love, and cuddles. This five year old, just shy of fifty pound sweetheart is all about her people. She has bursts of play but is mainly a calm dog. She is all about being by her person and wanting the love. Now, for men, some she loves and some she has to take a minute to relax around.  Snow currently lives with an 80 pound male and a 23 pound female companion. She can be a sassy thing and wants what she wants - a tiny bit of a diva in there. She has met other playful dogs and done well. She also has hung out with another 100 pound male lab. Took her a second to realize he was a lover not a fighter but they are now fast friends. Snow needs a six foot privacy fence for her backyard space. Now who wants Snow to be your cuddle buddy for many years to come! If you are interested in adopting Snow, please fill out an application today!April 24, 2024, 9:05 pm

This sweet gal sure can bring a smile to anyone’s face. With her goofy boxer wiggles and her little nubbin that goes super fast when she sees people. She still has some boxer spunk to her. She loves a good romp with her fur friends or the kids and then she will just snuggle right up and chill. She has done great with her fellow puppers from the super hyper to the old and grumpy to the tiny and snappy. She has been around a toddler and older children and seems to enjoy being around them. She is crate trained with no accidents in the house. Working on basics and leash manners. Don't let this old gals grey face fool you. She still has a lot of love, snuggles and romps in the sun to give. She really is a gem! If you are interested in adopting Clarabell, please fill out an application today!April 24, 2024, 9:05 pm
