Story
♡ Bunny and Frenchy ♡ aka the twins These two boys were overlooked when the rest of their siblings and momma got adopted. They are still looking for their furever home. They've grown up in a kennel now, so their new parent (s) need to be a little patient as they make their transition. Frenchy ( lighter face) is the more playful and submissive of the two. Bunny is more shy but is a little more dominant of the two. They seemed to have bonded over the years and now like to do everything together. 3 years old Utd on shots Neutered Microchipped

Story
Meet our boy Best Friend Pete!   This handsome boy has a ready smile that says that he wants to be your friend.   Pete is an Aussie mix boy that is one year old and 55 pounds.   He came from a sad home situation where There are too many dogs, cats, farm animals and not enough food to go around to feed them all.  The first year of his life he was tied to a broken down pickup truck bumper and had to crawl under the truck for shelter in the hard clay dirt where with no grass grew. He was so shy and timid when we first brought him to the foster home and he just didn’t know about all these sights and sounds of the outside world that he was experiencing.   He has come to love the time and loving attention and inside comforts of a home. He is a blessed dog that was able to escape a very poor and sad living situation. He has learned about being crate trained, housebreaking, and would be best with a fenced yard.  He needs to be given the time and attention that he deserves and a strong dog leader.   He loves going for car rides.  He is an Aussie mix we think and he is very smart and sensitive to direction from people. We think this handsome boy would be a great running partner, hiking companion and beach comber.  A fenced yard is a must.  If you are interested please step up with an email to us:  Ccrnewengland@gmail.com He is in New England now and ready to move to a new home with a fenced yard.  Pete is a dog that will always appreciate each kind word and love that he gets from a family in the years to come. He will need a strong leader and someone who will show him they are in charge.  He loves running    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.comJune 3, 2023, 6:04 pm

Story
  Our handsome Aussie mix boy pup is called Kenny and he is looking for a wonderful forever family that will be fun and loving.   He came from a litter of 9 pups that were raised in a small dirt pen in a backyard  that offered merely a party pop up tent as shelter from the rain and sun. Somehow all these 9 puppies have miraculously emerged with loving spirits and their intelligence Is shining through because they are Australian Shepherd mixes (dad is full blooded and momma is a mix).   This boy is 5 months old and weighs just 25 pounds.  He is probably going to be a 45 pound boy tops as he grows in to an adult over the next year.  He is living with a foster mom who has a 3 year old toddler and another active dog that he plays with every day.  He is having so much fun and they said that this once shy boy is now confident, happy and smiling all the time!   This boy is learning all the things that he should have learned earlier in life and his sharp Aussie breed intelligence is shining bright.   If you are interested in adopting a loving boy like Kenny, please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   he is Ready Freddy!   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.comJune 3, 2023, 6:04 pm

Story
This handsome boy is called Creek and this Flat Coat Retriever who is a deeply loving old soul that is about 9 years old and weighs 68 pounds.  This boy landed in a small dead-end KY shelter that would have euthanized him first if he was to stay there long.  Creek was so stressed out there and we just had to stop the mental anguish for him.  He is a healthy boy that looks so sad right now and we want to put a happy smile back on his face.  He follows his foster mom everywhere she goes and she knows that he adores her.  This boy would be wonderful with a retired person or couple.  He would make you feel like the most beloved person to him.  The light in his eyes looks so dull and depressed since we took him out on May 24th.  We have groomed all the matted fur on him and we feel his fur will come alive soon on good food, and a happier life.  If you know the breed, Flat Coat Retriever, then you know they are just the black version of a Golden Retriever.  Very sweet, calm at his age and very attached to whomever is kind to him.  Creek loves to go for car rides and doesn’t want to get out when you get home.   He is housebroken and quiet and the sweetest soul ever!  If you want to give this boy the best senior years of his life then you must let us know by emailing us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.June 3, 2023, 6:04 pm

Story
Puppy Hugh Grant is mostly ears and mostly adorable!  This baby is a 5-6 month old boy that we think is an Aussie mix, weighs 26 pounds and destined to be 35-40 pounds when fully grown.  He came from a Kentucky shelter that was way too full and he and his brother were in danger.  This little guy is well on his way to housebreaking and crate training.  He is very sweet and friendly and just needs some time to feel secure and safe in a good place that you call “HOME”.   He is charming and playful and good with dogs, cats and meeting new people with just a touch of shyness.  We have only had him out of the shelter since 5/20 and we are learning more about him every day.  If you are interested in making this handsome puppy a part of your life and family history then please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.June 3, 2023, 6:04 pm
