Story
Meet Tucker! He is a young, energetic Aussiedoodle who loves to cuddle and play. He is house trained, has been around other dogs, and children from newborn to older. He is very good with our kids, especially our infant. I can only describe it as him “melting” into you when you pet him, pick him up, and love on him. We’ve never had such an intelligent dog with so many vocal variations- it’s like he can talk! He really does have a goofy personality. He is unable to take medications like trazodone due to it inducing seizures. True to his breed, we joke that he has springs in his feet. Loves to play but then likes his breaks on our kids trampoline. He does chew, but does well with bones and other chew toys. Tucker would thrive in a home with someone working remotely, that can be with him often. He would love a home with acreage. He absolutely loves affection and wants to please, and is food motivated when training. Tuck has a wonderful personality for a family that is patient & loving.

Story
  When we tell the story of  Mika, we have chosen to leave out the harsh details of the neglect and dirty conditions that she lived in.  Suffice to say it was disturbing to view. She was rescued alongside her sister, Millicent  who endured the same harsh living conditions. Despite a history of being mistreated and neglected, Mika the 18 month old, 52 pound  Aussie/Hound mix girl has a heart of gold and has shown zero resentment. She has spent the last few weeks learning what it means to be safe, clean, and cared for, and she has taken to her new life with total grace. Personality: Calm, affectionate, and steady. Mika is the definition of a sweetheart. She has a gentle, low-key temperament that makes her a perfect fit for a family looking for a more relaxed companion. She is fantastic with kids and simply wants to be where the love is. While she hasn't quite figured out what to do with toys yet, she is incredibly food-motivated, which has made her recent leash training a breeze! Mika is a polite listener who comes when called and is eager to please. She would be a wonderful addition to a home that values cuddles and a steady presence. She is ready to trade her rescue status for a lifetime of treats and affection. Best Skills: Calm demeanor, highly food-motivated (easy to train!), great listener, and kid-friendly. Ideal Home: A loving family that enjoys a peaceful pace and plenty of bonding time. Mika is ready for a new and fresh reset to her life.  She is ready to leave the hard past behind and only look ahead.  She is in Nashville, TN but can be transported to the northeastern states that the transport van visits and stops in.   Critter Cavalry Rescue would love to hear from you at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   We stand behind this girl being one of the best dogs you could ever call your very own.     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.comJune 10, 2026, 1:28 pm

Story
  Our little black dynamo is called Roxie and she is a darling Aussie Doodle girl that was born the first of April as an accidental litter born in a rural county of Tennessee. She has the softest fur that is like bunny fur and it begs to be stroked and snuggled with.  Roxie has the most curious and intelligent personality that makes her a large and in charge kind of girl.  She just makes you realize that  you are dealing with a very smart and curious puppy. She is inquisitive and loving and plays with any dog that will play with her.  She is going to be a 45-50 pound girl when fully grown and will be a head turner with her shiny black fur and her confident aura. Raising Roxie Girl will be a delight and a fountain of entertainment as you watch her curiosity grow and her learning curve grow brighter as she conquers her puppy etiquette classes with ease.  We are looking for a family with a fenced yard, lots of fun adventures for her to go on outside the home.  She will be a friendship magnet as you show her off to the world on your travels and neighborhood errands. Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested in making this girl your very own Tennessee Treasure (where we are based out of and transport from)   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.comJune 10, 2026, 1:28 pm

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.    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.comJune 10, 2026, 1:28 pm

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.     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.comJune 10, 2026, 1:28 pm

Story
Moon has officially arrived and is settling beautifully into his foster home And as luck would have it, his foster just happens to be our dog trainer… and she says this handsome boy is full of potential! At 6.5 months old and around 28 lbs, Moon is a smart, curious, playful pup with a sweet and thoughtful personality. Unlike his brother Maverick, who tends to run straight into the spotlight demanding attention, Moon is a little more reserved and polite. He’s happy to hang back, observe the situation, and then quietly come over and get attention after the rush. His foster describes him as patient, gentle, intelligent, and eager to learn. He has a wonderful temperament and is already showing how adaptable and thoughtful he can be. Moon came from a shelter in Puerto Rico alongside his many siblings Mariel, Milu, Maverick, Milan, Marley, and Morgan, all hoping for the chance at loving forever homes in the States. Now in foster care, Moon is beginning to explore, and show everyone just how special he is. This fluffy island boy is going to make an amazing companion for a lucky family Adoption fee: $395 Dog Adoption Application https://caribbeanpaws.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=7208Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Delicate and dainty TEACUP is quiet and calm as she settles in as a new resident at VBACAC. Black and white, short and soft fur, covers her 35 pound almost petite frame. New pups getting used to the shelter environment can sometimes take time adapting. Teacup is no different. She is proving, however, to be open to meeting new people in a gentle and slow manner. Estimated to be only 1-5 years old, we're sure thislittle lady has quite the warm and fun personality we'll see once she gets used to all the new around her. As we learn more, we will also update this bio but don't sit around waiting for that! Come on in and meet Teacup yourself! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 38.4
