Story
   Meet Faithful & True – A Heart as Devoted as Her Name  There are dogs who love you... and then there are dogs like Faithful & True, who live for you. This 2½-year-old, 30-pound Australian Cattle Dog/Kelpie mix is a pint-sized bundle of energy, brains, and unshakable loyalty. Her name says it all — she is steadfast, devoted, and once you earn her trust, she will give you her whole heart without hesitation. Faith is always in motion — a natural-born herder with a quick mind and faster feet. She’s happiest when she has a purpose: running, playing, watching the yard, or simply staying close to her person. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who chooses you above all else, she’s already halfway there.  What makes Faith special? She’s a confident, clever girl who thrives on routine, purpose, and companionship A bit shy at first, she’ll circle around until she decides you’re worth loving — and she always does She’s excellent in the house: crate trained, leash trained, and has her own favorite chair for TV time Her herding instincts are strong — including some heel nipping — but easily managed by someone familiar with the breed or confident in calm, consistent leadership Faith does well with other dogs who understand her spirited ways, and she takes correction with grace. But busy homes with young kids might be too much for her sensitive, always-on-the-go nature. She has enough buzz for everyone!  If you know and love the Cattle Dog or Kelpie spirit — the loyalty, the drive, the sharp mind wrapped in a devoted heart — then you already understand the kind of rare gift Faithful & True is. All she asks is a fenced yard, a gentle but confident leader, and someone to tell her every day how good, smart, and beautiful she is. She’ll believe you — because it’s all true.  Ready to meet the girl who will love you like no one else?Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com – Faithful & True is waiting, and she already knows your name.   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
NAME: Rosie COLOR: Beige, gray, tan B’DAY: Dec. 2020 TEMPMENT: Energenic WEIGHT: 55 lbs HUMANS: Good; CHILDREN: Over 12 yrs and respectful to animals PETS: good with cats and dogs VETTING: Fully vetted, HW neg and spayed CONTACT: Silverrescue@gmail.com Rosie is a sweet girl. She loves everyone. Because she is so loving we don't really understand why she keeps being overlooked. Rosie is happiest when she can be her person’s shadow, working in the garden, going for a walk in the park, riding in the car to the feedstore or the car mechanic. She’s never been in a canoe. Wouldn’t that be nice. She just wants to be with her person. That’s all. She's also good with dogs and cats. She reads situations well and quickly adjusts and respects her fellow pet companions. She loves children but they must be over 12 to withstand her exuberance when she wants to hug them. Rosie has been through obedience school and knows her basic commands of come, sit, stay, down, leave it and no through she loses focus when something exciting happens. Her vetting is up to date, heartworm negative and spayed. She is crate trained and house and pottie trained. Rosie will be adopted to an inside forever home only. Family must own home. No rentals please. Fence required. If she is to be a companion to another dog it should be a male dog. We require personal and vet references and a homevisit. The adoption fee of $250 is used to save the next abandoned pet like Rosie. For Rosie’s application please contact SilverRescue@gmail.com

Story
  Meet Miss Kitty – A Heart Ready to Bloom  Miss Kitty’s story is one of transformation, hope, and quiet bravery. This stunning 2-year-old Aussie mix (around 70 lbs) was once part of a large group of neglected dogs—left without love, attention, or hugs daily.  The days of indifference from humans are long behind her. With the help of a kind foster home, Miss Kitty has discovered the beauty of human kindness, human touch and now she’s ready to find a forever family of her own.  In just two months, she’s blossomed from a shy, uncertain girl into a dog who seeks out affection and enjoys the company of people—especially children, who she now happily follows with her tail wagging. She’s gentle with dogs of all sizes and loves running and playing with her friends in open spaces. Cats are still a mystery to her, but she’s learned to coexist respectfully.Miss Kitty is still gaining confidence with new experiences—like walking on a leash and spending time indoors—but her courage grows every day. She’s curious, sweet, and has a heart that’s learning to trust completely. With a little patience and a lot of love, this beautiful girl will reward her forever family with endless devotion and loyalty. If you’re looking to make a difference in a dog’s life and watch a soul truly bloom, Miss Kitty is waiting for you.  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to meet Miss Kitty today!   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
