Story
  Meet  JD Swagger, our young/old soul, who has the heart of a therapist and the gentle spirit of a lifelong best friend. ❤️ This handsome 4 month old Aussie/Great Pyr mix boy pup weighs 18 pounds and was part of an accidental litter born 2/26  to a pure Great Pyr mom and an Aussie dad.   The litter was raised by the owner until the end of April and then brought in to a small community shelter in Tennessee.  For 5 weeks not one puppy was adopted from the litter which was amazing to us.  The Director of the shelter started getting worried about these innocent puppies having to stay so long in a shelter and not in good adoptive homes or even a rescue's foster care.  When Critter Cavalry was called we rushed to pick them up from this well run shelter and found the best foster homes to help them on their journey to a final adoptive family.  We have found JD Swagger to be one of the smallest in size amongst his  littermates, but he has the biggest and most gentle heart.  He sits on the outskirts of the playtime area and watches over his siblings.   Definitely that Great Pyr guardian temperament and gentleness.  He seems to worry about things and wants to make sure they are getting fixed so to speak.  Goodness his foster mom just melts as she speaks about this precious boy's beautiful spirit.   JD is on his way to becoming a 50 pound adult dog or maybe a tad less.  He has the size and proportions of the Aussie breed and not his Great Pyr momma.  But his desire to protect and watch over his siblings and his humans is just amazing.  He moves with deliberate purpose and he is not one to get the zoomies and run until he drops.  He is slow and methodical and purposeful in everything he does.  Despite whatever hardships he faced early on, JD's loving nature shines brighter than anything else. In just one week in foster care, he has amazed everyone around him. He quickly learned the outside bathroom break training, leash walking, and how to listen attentively to his humans. More than that, he has shown us what a truly special companion he is. JD  has that rare “old soul” quality — the kind of dog who quietly understands you, stays close when you’re sad, and makes every day feel a little lighter.  He’s the kind of dog who simply fits anywhere and with anyone.  is wonderful with dogs, cats, chickens, children, and adults of all ages. He is gentle, easygoing, eager to please, and genuinely wants nothing more than to love and be loved.  If you have been searching for that once-in-a-lifetime companion — the dog who will protect your heart and become part of your soul — JD may be the one.  To adopt JD, please email ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell us where you live. We’ll send you an adoption application to begin the process.  Please share to help this incredible boy find the forever family he deserves.   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
  Our happy, soft coated fluffy girl puppy is called Patty Pro Bono and the shelter who took in the litter of Great Pyr and Australian Shepherd pups named the litter after the Lawyer who brought them in to find homes.  The lawyer's female Great Pyr  had the accidental litter on 2/26/26 and brought them in the first of last of April to find them homes. When you first meet Patty you are ready to hug her and reassure her that she will find a great family very soon.  She is happy, well adjusted and has one of those easy going personalities that is bright and upbeat.  She is a curious girl and not as big as some of her littermates that take after the Great Pyr.  Patty takes after the size of her dad who is an Australian Shepherd.  At just 15 weeks she weighs 21 pounds and is destined to be a 50 pound adult that will be fluffy and gorgeous like an Australian Shepherd, and will carry the energy and intelligence of the breed.  Patty and her litter had spent the past  4 weeks with no adoptions happening.  It was a small town shelter.  The Director started making calls and pleas to rescues and Critter Cavalry Rescue could not resist helping this beautiful litter of 6 puppies.   They needed foster care and comfort from a foster family who can show them love and training.  This incredibly beautiful  girl has done so well with other dogs and with young children.  She is just a sweetheart and is quickly learning about crate training and is on a schedule to go out for potty breaks. We want this girl to grow up successfully in a fenced yard and to learn leash manners right away.  She loves to sleep most of the night in her puppy bed on the floor by the bed.  Patty Pro Bono is more than just beautiful - she is a thoughtful girl that is sensitive and quiet.  She would lay by your feet while you work all day long.  She loves to run and romp in the yard and this is why we are looking for a family with a fence.  She is a smart, observant puppy who takes in the world around her and responds with curiosity and heart. She adores snuggling with her  foster mom and happily soaks up attention, pets, and love from everyone she meets. Watching her romp around with joyful zoomies is pure happiness in motion.    ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.June 9, 2026, 9:41 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Peanut!   Peanut is a 9-year-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and so much love to give. While he may be a little shy and timid when meeting new people, it doesn’t take long to see what a special boy he truly is. Sweet, sensitive, and incredibly affectionate, Peanut’s favorite place is right by his person’s side.   This handsome senior is a total lovebug who enjoys snuggling up with his family and soaking up all the attention he can get. He loves exploring the yard and checking out his surroundings, as long as he knows his people are nearby.   Peanut gets along well with both dogs and cats. He has shown little interest in playing with other dogs and would likely be happiest with a calm, low-energy canine companion or as the center of someone’s world. When a more energetic dog invited him to play, Peanut politely declined and went about his day.   Peanut is house-trained, crate-trained, and has excellent manners around the home. His easygoing nature also makes him a great candidate for apartment living.   At 9 years old, Peanut recently received a complete senior wellness workup and has no known health issues. He’s ready to spend his golden years being loved, spoiled, and cherished by a family of his own.   If you’re looking for a loyal companion, a devoted cuddle buddy, and a best friend who will always be happy to see you, Peanut may be the perfect match. ❤️           Medical Notes: Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped Heartworm Negative ProHeart 12 Injection Maintained on monthly flea/tick preventatives Senior Exam + bloodwork (all within normal limits) Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 9, 2026, 10:06 am

Story
He is my parent’s dog and he keeps getting out and into the neighbors chicken coop. They have other dogs and too much going on to keep him. I’m trying to re home him so we don’t have to take him to the pound. His name is Chevy, he’s about 4 years old now will probably need some training when he does re home. He’s not a perfect dog but he deserves a good home. Good with kids! Loves to play fetch! We take him this weekend to the pound if we can’t find him a home!
