Meet Thor (aka Potatoe , Po, or Taty Boy!) Thor is an almost 6-year-old Aussie mix with a big heart, a strong work ethic, and a whole lot of love to give. True to his herding roots, Thor thrives when he has a job to do and enjoys staying busy—he’s happiest when his mind and body are engaged. He does great with other dogs, cats, and even livestock, making him a versatile companion for the right home. Thor walks well on a leash, crates well, and knows many basic commands. He’s smart, eager, and enjoys structure. Thor does best in a home with older kids only, as he doesn’t quite understand boundaries with little ones. He is incredibly protective of his people and loves deeply, forming strong bonds with those he trusts. When playtime is over, Thor is all about the cuddles—especially after he’s been worn out. His favorite things include tennis balls, treats, and quality time with his humans. Thor is ready to find his forever home where he can be loved, kept busy, and appreciated for the loyal, hardworking boy he is. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will love you fiercely, Thor might just be your perfect match. ##2638347##

Story
  “Otis the Adventurer”  Otis is a handsome 3-year-old Aussie mix with a sweet heart and a curious spirit. We know his mom was an Australian Shepherd, and while Dad remains a mystery, Otis definitely inherited the intelligence and loyalty that make this breed so special. At around 45–50 pounds, he’s the perfect medium-sized companion.  Otis is the kind of dog who makes living with a dog easy. He is house trained, well-mannered, and respectful as he lives inside the home—no chewing furniture, stealing food, or getting into trouble. He’s calm for an Aussie, incredibly sweet-natured, and great with kids. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be part of the family and enjoy life alongside his people. He also gets along very well with other dogs, so he would likely thrive in a home with a canine buddy to share adventures with.  Recently after moving from his previous home, he found himself living without a privacy fenced yard.  Otis does have one little quirk—he’s an explorer at heart. If given the opportunity, he’d happily set off to see what the world has to offer! Because of that adventurous streak, a privacy fenced yard is important to keep him safe while he enjoys his outdoor time.  Currently he gets out of the non-privacy fenced yard and it is dangerous for him.  His family is worried but they cannot afford to do the proper fencing that he needs.  So.....they asked Critter Cavalry Rescue to help them find him a safe and secure home with the inescapable fence.        We are just looking for the home that Otis can thrive in safely.  Otis is a well-mannered dog just looking for a home where he can be loved, included, and kept safe while still enjoying the fresh air and sunshine he loves. In return, you’ll get a loyal, gentle, well-behaved companion who will happily spend his days by your side.  We think he is the best choice for a family not wanting a puppy who is in the chewing and puppy antic stage of life.  If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing dog with a little adventurous spirit, Otis may be the perfect match.   Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live, city and state.  We adopt to Tennessee residents, where our rescue is based and we have a transport company that takes adopted dogs to the northeastern region to adopting families almost every weekend.  Please let us know where you live when asking about Otis.       ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
Meet Venus Just like her name, Venus is pure beauty inside and out. This 1-year-old sweetheart has the softest eyes and a gentle soul that will quietly steal your heart. Venus is exceptionally dog-friendly and loves having canine friends by her side. She absolutely adores kids and truly shines around them—gentle, loving, and happiest when surrounded by their laughter. She’s also eager to learn and wants so badly to do the right thing, making her a wonderful candidate for continued training and confidence-building. Venus can be very shy around men. While we don’t know her past, we believe she may have experienced something difficult involving a male, so she’ll need patience, kindness, and understanding. With time and gentle reassurance, Venus begins to trust—and when she does, her love is deep, loyal, and incredibly special. She’s searching for a calm, loving home that will let her move at her own pace and show her what safety and unconditional love truly mean. In return, Venus will offer quiet companionship, sweet moments, and a heart full of devotion. If you believe the most beautiful bonds are built with patience and love, Venus may be the one you’ve been waiting for ##2620615##
