Story
I'm looking to find the right home for my goofy, athletic, and loving dog. He has a lot of energy and unfortunately spends most of his day in an apartment while I'm at work. I know he would be much happier with someone who has more time, space, and an active lifestyle to give him the exercise and attention he needs.He is crate trained and fully potty trained, and he is very communicative and affectionate once he gets comfortable with you. He is friendly with most dogs and does well with cats. However, I want to be completely honest that he has shown aggressive tendencies toward small dogs and children, so I believe he would do best in an adult-only home without small dogs. He needs someone experienced and willing to continue working with him and give him the structure he needs.This is not an easy decision to make, because he is a great dog with a lot of love to give. I just want to find him a home that will allow him to be his happiest self.

Story
I got Mochi when he was about 10 weeks old from a Marine vet who had unplanned puppies. He's half Australian-Shepherd and half Pitt bull. He is about to turn 3 in November! He is very high energy and loves to run, fetching sticks and balls are his favorite, but if I'm just at home by myself, all he does is lay on the couch or sleep. He doesn't even bother me when I'm deep cleaning the house but he does stay away from the vacuum. I am looking for a new home for Mochi simply because of my busy schedule. I am in the Navy and sometimes it requires him to be home alone for longer periods of times than I would like, or longer times in the crate (he is crate trained, and will sleep in it with no problems). There are other times when I am sent on mission trips out of state. I love my dog and for that I believe he needs a family that is home more than I am.

Story
  Marley Girl is a happy, outgoing  8 year old Aussie Doodle with a heart full of love and lots of years and life left to share. This young senior girl is looking for a new home through no fault of her own because her natural herding instincts have taken over and she is chasing the chickens at her former home.  Apparently eggs are more important than sweet Marley.   This girl at 8 years is not too big and just 45 pounds and has lived with another dog during her life and also cats.  Chickens are different for dogs and so she is looking for a new place to live.  Marley is is fully house trained and potty trained, She loves riding in a car and enjoys watching the scenery go by as she rides shotgun. While Marley has a few years behind her she has so many more ahead of her. Her infectious smile only guarantees that you will be her beloved family that she will adore as an easy companion dog.  This girl is all about being a loyal, family-friendly companion who is past the puppy stage but still ready for more years of adventures, cuddles and making memories, Marley may be the perfect match for you. if you are a senior or a younger person that just wants a mellow dog to love.  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.     PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comSeptember 30, 2026, 9:06 pm

Story
  Meet Bailey Girl— All She Needs Is a Chance ❤️ Bailey Girl is a beautiful 27-pound female 18 month old Mini Aussie mix with a story that will break your heart—but the little dog she is becoming will put it right back together.       Bailey Girl was abandoned during extremely hot weather when someone placed her inside a school playground with no way to get out. Tragically, she wasn’t discovered until the following Monday when the school reopened. Someone had reportedly witnessed her being left there but did not notify anyone. We may never understand why she was abandoned that way, but we do know one thing: her story does not have to end where it began. Today, Bailey Girl is safe in a loving foster home, and she is doing beautifully. ❤️ It took her only a couple of days to begin trusting her foster, and now she has become her little shadow. She does well with other dogs and cats, walks on a leash, and can even be left loose in the home with the other dogs while her foster is at work. Bailey Girl is still working on becoming completely house trained, but she is extremely intelligent and continues to learn. She enjoys having a yard where she can run and as her confidence and trust have grown, she happily comes back to her foster when called. Because Bailey Girl can be somewhat fearful of children, we believe she would be happiest in a home without children, where she can feel secure and develop a strong bond with her person or family. Bailey may need a little more patience in the beginning than some dogs. You have to earn her trust—but once you do, something very special happens. She begins to understand that she is safe. She follows you. She looks to you for reassurance. And before long, you realize you haven’t just gained a dog—you’ve gained a devoted little sidekick. A word of advice please.  Bailey Girl needs someone who won’t expect everything from her on the first day. She needs love, patience, kindness, and time. Give her the opportunity to understand that you aren’t going anywhere, and she will give that love and devotion right back to you. ❤️ Bailey may very well become the dog you talk about for the rest of your life. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you would like to make her a part of your world and life.  She has already experienced what it feels like to be left behind. Now it’s time for this beauty to discover what it feels like to be chosen—and never abandoned again. ❤️   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comSeptember 30, 2026, 9:06 pm

A dainty little Tennessee Treasure that is looking for a special family to bless with her gentle nature and love.   This girl is only 34 pounds and has done all the growing she ever will do!  Her foster mom says she must have been someone's very special companion because she wants to be your shadow and your most obedient and mannerly dog-child.   She is housebroken, crate trained and she listens. You tell her NO....she stops and doesn't do it again.  She will be your shadow of devotion everywhere you go and in the car...she is your beautiful Co-Pilot.   This girl is ready for someone to make the comittment and also to help her complete her heartworm treatment that is topical and easy to be applied every two weeks.  It is called Slow Kill  Heartworm Treatment and it WORKS like a charm with no harsh pain and  only good results of killing them and being clear in no time.  She is a smiling girl for the cameras and she will continue to be  your happy place in life if you invite her home!  Good with dogs and we can test for cats, we know that this girl will fit in anywhere!    Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.     PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comSeptember 30, 2026, 9:06 pm

Story
  This beautiful white Great Pyr/Australian Shepherd mix girl is a 6 month old cloud of love and her name is Tilly. We could not offer a nicer and sweeter 35 lbs girl that could fulfill the wish list of a family looking for a congenial, easy going and happy family dog to adopt. She is the last born in her litter that was from a stray momma who came on to a property and had her puppies..... 8 of them. The family caring for this litter of puppies has done all the right things for them.   They are dewormed and receiving parvo distemper shots and will be spayed on 9/10.  Two girls and one boy named Benny are all looking for their forever homes.  Sweet Tilly is just the nicest and easiest dog you could ever meet.   She loves all other animals that she meets and in her foster home she is around cats, donkeys, horses, a pot belly pig, other dogs of all sizes and ages and also the sweet young grandchildren of her foster mom.   This girl never has anything but love with every step she takes in life.  A smile, a contagious joy and a vibrant zest for life that propels her through the day with energy that is easy to be around and makes a smile come to your face. This girl is special and will only grow to be a 50-55 pound adult girl.  Nothing big except she will have a BIG heart to give you and your family and BIG love and kisses everyday. d Nothing else can could describe her better than the fact that she is open to new adventures and beings in her life and that this makes her an easy puzzle piece to fit in to any adopting family.   She is smart, darling and a loving girl to invite home for a life of great companionship and love.  If you would like to know more and adopt please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live, city and state please.  She is in Nashville, TN in a foster home where we are based.  We have transport available to the northeastern states every weekend.  PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comSeptember 30, 2026, 9:06 pm

Panda is a lazy silly girl ! She was with me thru my cancer and laid with me every step of the way! I e had her since she was born in my back yard in 2018! She is very dear to my heart but due to recent events I unfortunately have to part ways with my dear sweet Panda bear! Please know she’s only used to women mostly because she’s only ever been with me and my son. She is weary of strangers and very protective of her people she is loyal just give her time to adjust she will warm up I promise give her grace she is scared of loud sounds as well! Thanks
