Story
Pistachio is a one-year-old, medium sized, mixed-breed with a totally mysterious lineage & backstory (he was found as a stray). Whatever his breed mix (maybe some kind of shepherd with all that fluff?), it clearly includes equal parts good looks, goofiness, and friendliness. Personal space? Pistachio’s never heard of it. He loves affection and will happily park himself at your feet, on your lap, or anywhere he can be close to his people. He’d make a great work from home companion. He’s a great car rider so would also enjoy accompanying you on any weekend adventures. When it comes to playtime, Pistachio is wonderfully self-sufficient. He’s tried just about every toy in the bin and can entertain himself, but he also loves a good game of tug or fetch when you’re up for it. Pistachio gets along well with other playful pups (he’s currently fostered with 2 other dogs) and would be thrilled to have a tolerant or equally energetic doggy sibling—or he’ll happily take all your attention as a solo sidekick. He’s the perfect fit for an active person that’s willing to maintain the structure he’s accustomed to and continue working on basic obedience. He’s very food motivated, which makes him easy to train. His foster, who has professional dog training experience, is also more than willing to offer support after adoption as well. Pistachio is UTD on vaccines, kept on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, neutered & microchipped. His adoption fee is $350.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
If you are looking for the sweetest, most well-behaved dog around... Harley is it. He knows basic commands and listens very well. Sit, stay, and no will get an immediate response from him to stop whatever he is doing. He doesn't like getting on furniture or beds, and has NEVER taken anything off the counter. Harley might politely stare at you while you eat your food, but he will not take anything unless you give it to him and say it is ok. Harley does well on a lead, but he does pull a lot (if you let him). The most ideal location for Harley would have lots of room. A large fenced in yard or on the farm. He does well with other dogs, kids, and people, however, cats are an unknown. He has shown a desire to chase birds and squirrels. He rarely barks and is good about letting you know when it's time to go outside. He likes to be near his person and definitely does not like being left alone. In the times he was left alone however he did not destroy anything or make a mess. Harley is also crate trained if needed.

Story
Hi, my name is Prancer.  I was not left behind by Santa Claus.   I got my name from the way I run.  I don’t really run, I prance around.  It just makes you smile to watch me.  I am a wonderful little guy who loves life.  I am always happy.  My foster mom says I am happy no matter what and sometimes oblivious because of my happiness.  There is a doggie door to her deck.  My favorite game is to run around the den, through the kitchen, out the doggie door, and around the yard.  Then back in.  Each time I check to make sure my foster mom is still there.  Sometimes I am actually able to persuade a couple of my foster brothers to join me.  We have a blast.  I am not sure my foster mom has the same amount of fun.  But....we keep it up until it is time to take a nap. I have fit in great here and get along well with the other doggies, even the grouchy old men!  Again, I am oblivious to their opinion of me.  I am housebroken and crate-trained.  I know to go to my crate when treats are given out.  I also eat my breakfast and dinner in my crate.   I was originally living with a senior lady.  Unfortunately, we were not a good match.  As soon as Critter Cavalry learned of my dilemma, I was placed in a more suitable home.  I am happy to hang out here until I find my forever home.   I would love a home with an active family that will take me places with them.  I am learning to walk on a leash so I can go walking and maybe even hiking with you.  If you are into agility, I am your man.  As you have already read, I am actively practicing my skills.  I would also be a great companion for a family with older children.  As an Australian Shepherd mix, I am an active boy who needs a job.  A fenced-in yard is also a must for me.   Prancer is neutered, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, and microchipped. To apply or learn more, email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com. (He is in Tennessee and can be transported north after adoption. Approved application and fee required.)      January 13, 2026, 6:14 pm
