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.

Story
Hi, my name is Blaze, and I’m looking for my furever home! I am currently being fostered in Nashville, TN. I am an Australian Shepherd, 4 1/2 years old and weigh approximately 70 lbs. I am neutered, vetted, microchipped, and fully up-to-date on shots. I came from a family with another dog and a child, but they unfortunately moved and could not take me. I have the sweetest face and eyes. My foster mom even accidentally calls me ‘Bear’ sometimes because I can be like a big teddy bear but with gentle petting and no rough play. Sometimes the neighbors even say I look like Beethoven from the 90s movie. I may be a little distrustful of strangers at first (I might even bark), but once I know there is no danger, I just want love and to hang around my humans. I’ll follow you room-to-room, but I have no desire to get on the furniture or the bed. If you need me to go to my crate, just tell me to and I’ll do it! My favorite place to sleep is on the floor next to your bed. I know how to “sit” very well. I am a very sweet cuddlebug but I do get nervous and howl when left alone in a new place. After a few days, I’m usually good! I LOVE to go on walks, and step right into my harness with joy but because of my size, I tire out easily so I prefer short to medium-length walks. Keep working with me and I’ll get stronger! I also have trouble sometimes because my back leg and knees have some arthritis. I will benefit from some joint supplements. I’m good on a leash, but sometimes I like to chase birds! I’ve had a foster brother for the past three weeks and we tolerate each other. We do fine together, until he tries to steal my toys… then I growl at him. I’ve learned to play tug of war with my humans and I am a big fan. I’ll also enjoy chasing a ball or toy that I can bring back to you. I’d probably thrive in a home with a small family or even a single person. I’m protective, but I do love meeting new people. Please fill out this application if you want your home to be Blaze’s furever home! https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/old-adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Story
Meet Julien, a gentle soul who’s blossomed so much during his time with us. When he first arrived, he was pretty unsure and reserved, but with patience and kindness, he’s gained a lot of confidence, and he's gaining more every day! Julien is eager to head out for walks, following along easily and enjoying every moment outside. He’ll happily chase a toy, get wiggly over a Milk-Bone, and even break into zoomies when he spots another dog in the yard. Once he feels comfortable, Julien’s sweet side shines. He melts for neck and ear scratches and leans in for affection. Julien just needs someone willing to go at his pace, and in return, he’ll be the most tender, quietly joyful companion you could ask for.

Story
Meet Cooper! Cooper, formerly known as Oxford, is looking for his perfect family. Cooper is a handsome border collie mix who was born in December of 2024, meaning he's got a long life of playtimes ahead of him! We originally met him when he was only a couple of months old, and he stole the hearts of a wonderful family who promptly adopted him and took him home. They gave Cooper a loving home and everything a dog could wish for for several months, but tragically when he was around 10 months old unforseen circumstanced occured and they decided it was best for Cooper to return to us and find a new family. Thanks to Cooper's loving former family, we know lots of things about what makes him tick. Here are some of the things they informed us about Cooper: "Cooper loves attention and likes to be near you. He likes having his neck and his back near his tail scratched. When he gets in bed, he loves to lay his head on the pillow next to you and cuddle up with you, he's very gentle and loving. He sits and lays down when told, and will go to the door and bark or sniff when he needs to go potty. He can have some nervousness when he's left alone, and has been known to chase his own shadow. Cooper has a love/hate relationship with baths, he loves the scrubbing phase, but is not a fan of the water being poured on him. He does well on a leash, but will get excited and pull to greet other animals. He also loves car rides!"  Cooper has been nothing but a sweetie in his time here with us, too. He has gotten along great with every dog we've introduced him to, and we think he'd make a great brother to a furry sibling! Like your typical border collie, Cooper has a very high drive to play, and we think that he would be well suited to a home with some energy and maybe some kids to keep him entertained! Cooper is fully vetted and microchipped. If you already have any other dogs, be sure to bring them along for the required meet and greet prior to adoption. Interested? Call us at 615-446-7387 or stop by and visit!  ##2315585##
