Story
  When you picture the perfect family companion, you imagine a puppy who has been loved from the very beginning — one who knows what gentle hands feel like and believes hugs are one of life’s greatest gifts. That puppy is Scoop.   Scoop is one of eleven lucky puppies who have been raised in the devoted care of a foster home since the day they were born. Because of that steady love, he is blossoming into the most wonderful little guy. He doesn’t just tolerate affection — he melts into it. Scoop is learning that the world is full of people who want to scoop him up (and yes, his name fits perfectly) and he absolutely loves every minute of it.   Those deeply soulful eyes will stop you in your tracks. They seem to study you, connect with you, and then quietly say, “Are you my person?” His soft black-and-white tuxedo coat is as touchable as it looks, and as he grows, it will develop into a semi-long, flowing coat that gives him a handsome, almost classic Lassie-style look. He is going to be a stunning 35–40 pound Aussie mix boy when fully grown — the perfect size for both adventure and couch cuddles.   But Scoop isn’t just a pretty face. He is brave. When he encounters something new that he doesn’t quite understand, he doesn’t panic — he works through it. Case in point: stairs. They were once a big, scary mystery. Now? He proudly marches down them every single day like a champ, and we couldn’t be prouder of his determination and growing confidence.   When it’s playtime, Scoop gives it everything he has. He romps, he wrestles, he zooms — and he plays until he drops. Then comes the best part: cuddle time. He is becoming more and more comfortable soaking up hugs, leaning into affection, and simply being someone’s baby. As he matures, that bond with his people will only grow stronger.   Scoop will be ready for his forever home in March, and he is looking for a family who is ready to invest in him — to teach him manners, guide him with patience, and help him grow into the incredible family dog he is destined to be. He is smart, not overly shy, eager to learn, and full of heart.   This boy won’t just join your family — he will be a gift to it.   If you’re ready to welcome Scoop into your life, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.       ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
  If you’ve been waiting for that “heart dog” — the one who looks at you like you are their whole world — Sprite might just be your girl. From the very start, Sprite has been surrounded by love. Born into a litter of eleven puppies on December 4th and raised safely in a devoted foster home, she has known gentle hands, warm beds, and daily affection. That strong foundation shows in everything she does. She trusts. She bonds. She lives like an independent little girl that loves to be picked up and hugged for short times and then it's time to get down and go run to play. Sprite is the kind of puppy who melts when you pick her up and presses her soft little body into you as if he’s memorizing the feeling. Every day she is discovering that hugs are wonderful, that laps are safe places, and that people are meant to be adored. And adore them she does. Her deep, expressive eyes are impossible to ignore — full of curiosity, intelligence, and sweetness. Her white longish fur sprinkled with large black spots that create some fun visuals like a little sweet heart on the top of her head. Her black-and-white soft longish coat makes her look like she’s dressed for a special occasion every single day. As she grows, that coat will become a slightly longer, soft, flowing version that gives her a classic, almost storybook-Aussie look. At maturity, she’ll be about 35–40 pounds — a perfect medium-sized Aussie mix ready for hikes, road trips, backyard games, and evening snuggles. Sprite is playful and enthusiastic when it’s time for fun. She romps with siblings, plays hard, and truly gives it her all. Then, just as quickly, she’s ready to curl up and recharge with a cuddle session. It’s the best of both worlds — joyful energy and tender affection wrapped into one beautiful package.   What’s especially endearing about Sprite is her independence and curiosity. New experiences don’t stop her. Stairs once seemed confusing and intimidating, but with patience and encouragement, she conquered them — and now she proudly heads down them every day. That determination and willingness to learn will serve her beautifully as she grows into adulthood. She will be ready for adoption early in March and is looking for a family who understands that great dogs are shaped, not just found. With continued guidance, structure, and love, Sprite will blossom into an exceptional family companion. She is smart, responsive, and eager to connect with her people and a shy and gentle way. She has a shy side that is thoughtful — and that balance makes her such a special little soul. Sprite won’t just fill space in your home. She’ll fill your days with laughter, your evenings with warmth, and your heart with something steady and true. If you’re ready to welcome this incredible little girl into your life, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.  Tell us where you live; city and state.  She is fostered in Tennessee but we also adopt to the northeast on a certified transport van for rescued animals.    ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
