Story
River is an old soul looking for his soulmate - could you be his person?  River had a tough start in life and came to PAW quite frightened of the world.  With the endless love and dedication of his foster family he has begun to feel secure - and to blossom.  Now he needs to find his forever home where a loving adopter will continue the process to help him to become the dog he is meant to be. River is a gentle giant.  At 2 & 1/2 and 70 pounds, he is a big fluffy love bug.  At first River can be anxious around new people and in new environments - but once warmed up, he loves people (including children) and other dogs. In fact, River must have another dog in the house as he follows the lead of his current foster brother and has learned so much from him! River loves running and playing in the yard.  Because he is still working on leash walking, River's forever home must have a fenced-in yard.  It will be important to continue leash training and exposure to new situations. This is the best way to build River's confidence and to teach him that the wide world is a fun place to explore!  River's daily medication helps calm him down, and this is something that his forever person will need to continue for River's benefit and comfort.  If you think you could be the one for River, apply to adopt today! PAW places animals in the DC, MD, northern VA, and southern PA area only. ##1836418##

Location: Baltimore, MD Hey, I'm Maggie! 🐕 I'm a striking 3-year-old Anatolian Shepherd mix with a gorgeous fawn coat and a bold black mask that gives me a distinguished look. At 70 pounds, I'm a solid girl who's already spayed and leash trained, so walks together will be smooth and enjoyable. I get along great with other dogs, making me a wonderful addition to multi-dog households. My adoption fee is $375, and I'm ready to find my forever family — come meet me soon! 💛

Story
This handsome boy was picked up running at large and based on Facebook posts it was about his third or fourth offense, but no one claimed him. We are guessing that he was a failure at being a livestock guardian because he’s way too social. He’s always wanting to visit someone new. Charlie is a little over a year old and weighs 121 lbs. He was very thin when he first came to us but is now at his perfect weight. He is neutered, up to date on required vaccines, microchipped and heartworm tested negative. He’s house trained and he loves other dogs, but he is a big guy. He also will require a tall fence, and you will have to keep an eye on him because again he likes to visit new people. He also has an obsession with deer! For that reason, a privacy fence would be ideal if you have deer around your home. He’s affectionate and likes to lean on you. He is learning commands like sit and stay and he really tries to please! This is what his foster mom says about him " Charlie is amazing. He is housebroken, loves to be hugged, hasn’t chewed anything up, likes to play but is content just to chill. He walks beautifully on a leash and likes to say hi to everyone he meets. Charlie enjoys sitting and looking out the window, hanging around in the kitchen especially when I’m cooking and going for car rides". Although this breed is known for having a stubborn streak, Charlie seems to understand a few commands wait, it’s ok, no, come, let’s go and he will even sit for a treat. But his favorite is Good Boy Charlie❤️" This guy would be a great dog for an active loving family. He’s so sweet! If you would like to be Charlie’s forever family, please email dogs4mylife@ gmail.com or olmc7@ hotmail.com. If you are inquiring from a Gmail address. It is best to use our Gmail address, or you might have to look for us in your spam.

Story
We may have different theme names, but we all started the same way — as a litter of TEN tiny bottle babies! That’s a whole lot of hungry puppies, so we had to split up into different foster homes to make sure everyone got all the love, bottles, and cuddles we needed. Because of that, some of us ended up with totally different names and personalities… but we’re still one big goofy family at heart! Now look at us! We’ve grown into happy, playful puppies that are always ready for an adventure. We love exploring the yard, carrying toys around like treasures, wrestling with other dogs, and zooming around until nap time hits. We are social, loving babies that get along great with other dogs and kids too. After a long day of puppy business, our favorite thing is snuggling up close for naps and bedtime cuddles. We’ve come a long way from tiny bottle babies, and now we’re ready to find forever families to continue our happily ever afters! Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
***50% of Bruno's adoption fee is sponsored by Petfinder*** 🐾 Meet Bruno: The Gentleman, The Scholar, and The Professional Snuggler! If you’re looking for a dog who balances "perfectly behaved gentleman" with "absolute goofball," look no further. Bruno is a soulful, emotive, and incredibly loyal companion who is ready to find his forever "person." With his expressive brows and heart-melting eyes, he doesn't just look at you—he looks into your soul. 🎩 The Perfect Gentleman Bruno is the gold standard for house manners. He is housebroken, crate trained, and a non-destroyer of household items (he saves his "demolition skills" strictly for his own toys and bones). A Clean Eater: He is incredibly food-motivated but has the gentlest mouth when taking treats. No mess, no grabby teeth—just pure politeness. The Hand-Holder: One of Bruno’s most endearing traits is his habit of putting his paw in your hand. It’s his way of saying "I love you" or "Hey, a snack would be great right now." Scholar Status: He already knows Sit, Stay, and Paw. He has a deep desire to learn more and will happily master new tricks for a piece of string cheese or a hot dog. 🧸 Playtime & Personality The Package Investigator: Expect Bruno to be the first one at the door when a delivery arrives. He takes his job as "Chief Package Inspector" very seriously, always checking to see if the box contains a new puzzle or bone. Goofy & Loving: He’s a total fan of hugs, kisses, and even little "nose nibbles." At night, he takes his job as a professional bed warmer very seriously. The Rolling Stone: Bruno loves a yard where he can zoom around and, more importantly, engage in some high-quality grass rolling. Balanced Energy: He’s got great energy for a walk or a game of fetch, but he’s equally content to be a lazy couch potato by your side. 🐕 On the Walk Bruno is a dream on a leash. He’s curious and aware, but he’s a "proactive" walker. He’s learned to sit and wait at corners until you give the "let’s go" signal. When he sees other dogs, he’s happy to give them space and can be easily distracted with treats—he’s a "look and move on" kind of guy! 🏡 Bruno’s Wish List Bruno is a sensitive soul who thrives on routine and clear boundaries. His ideal home includes: The "Quiet" Life: Bruno is sensitive to high-pitched sounds (he’s not a fan of the "click" of nail clippers!), so a calm environment is best. Room to Breathe: He loves open spaces where he can retreat and take some "me time" when he needs it. A home with a privacy-fenced yard would be his absolute dream. Grown-Up Friends: Because of his size and sensitive nature, he’d do best in a home with teenagers or adults only. Solo Pet Status: Bruno would likely thrive as an "only child" in a single-person home or a quiet household. He prefers a life free of cats or small "critters." Is Bruno the loyal, hand-holding partner you’ve been searching for? His Foster Family shared: "Bruno is the ultimate 'soulmate dog.' He has this incredible way of communicating just by using his expressive eyebrows or gently placing his paw in your hand to ask for a snack—or just a little bit of your time. He’s a total gentleman in the house, a world-class bed warmer, and honestly, he’s the best assistant I’ve ever had for unboxing packages! If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy best friend who truly listens, Bruno is your guy."

Story
Lucca is an 8-year-old Belgian Malinois (turning 9 in September) that I adopted in 2019. She is incredibly intelligent, loyal, and emotionally aware, and she bonds closely with her person. She thrives in an environment with structure, attention, and consistent mental and physical engagement. Lucca has a strong personality and does best as the only pet in the home, where she can receive focused attention. I am looking for an experienced owner familiar with working breeds (Malinois, German Shepherd, etc.) who understands their needs and can provide daily exercise, engagement, and leadership. Due to my current workload, health considerations, and time constraints, I’m no longer able to give her the level of attention she needs to truly thrive. This decision is about finding her the right environment.

Story
  Thor is a one-year-old Great Dane and Lab mix weighing 71 pounds, and his story already reads like the opening scene of a movie. Found running loose through a Tennessee neighborhood, this big, beautiful boy was moments away from tragedy when fate—and a young dog lover—stepped in. Twice Thor ran in front of her car, and instead of driving on, she stopped, opened her door, and called to him. Without hesitation, Thor leapt into the back seat as if he knew his life was about to change. And it did.   With no collar and no microchip, Thor became part of Critter Cavalry Rescue and stayed with the very woman who saved him. From the moment he was safe, his true nature began to shine. Thor is strikingly handsome, with chiseled features and expressive ears that nearly stand straight up, giving him a regal, alert look—like a show dog who wandered off the Westminster runway and into a superhero origin story.   But don’t let the model looks fool you. Thor is pure joy wrapped in a giant puppy body. He tosses toys into the air, pounces on squeaky treasures, and delights in balls and stuffed animals with the enthusiasm of a dog who is still discovering how fun life can be. He doesn’t quite realize how big or strong he is yet, but his heart is gentle and his spirit is eager.   Thor is intelligent, focused, and deeply people-oriented. When you work with him, he locks onto you completely, especially if treats are involved, which makes training both effective and fun. He is wonderful with other dogs, showing no dominance or alpha behavior, just friendly curiosity and easygoing charm. Recently neutered, Thor is still growing and will likely fill out into a solid 90-pound adult over the next year.   He is housebroken and currently learning that being alone doesn’t mean being abandoned, as crates aren’t quite his favorite place. Thor simply loves people and wants to be near them, soaking in companionship and reassurance. His liver-and-black coat shifts with the sunlight, turning heads wherever he goes, and making him unforgettable long after he’s passed by.   Thor is the kind of dog who comes into your life once and leaves a permanent mark on your heart. He is waiting for someone to guide him, shape him, and grow with him into the extraordinary companion he is clearly meant to be.     If you are interested in making this big boy a big part of your life please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Tell us where you live, city and state.   We adopt to Tennessee where our rescue is based and he is being fostered, but we also transport to the Northeast   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.comMarch 11, 2026, 12:09 am
