1. Diesel
Adult (3 years 5 months) · Male · Boxer (short coat) · 10 mi from Liberty


Meet Diesel!
This handsome 4-year-old, 65-pound Boxer is ready for a fresh start!
After not receiving the care he needed and frequently wandering out of his yard, a kind neighbor helped convince his owner to surrender him to rescue.
Diesel is now being treated for ear infections, a UTI, and a skin infection. He's on the mend, but still sensitive about his ears and mouth after being uncomfortable for so long.

2. Maximus
Young (1 year 7 months) · Male · Boxer (short coat) · 10 mi from Liberty




79lbs OF BOXER ENERGY, COMING RIGHT UP!
Meet Maximus! He’s 1.5 years old, full of bouncy Boxer energy, obsessed with squeaky stuffies, and convinced he’s a lap dog. ❤️
The problem? Shelter life is overstimulating, and Max needs more exercise, enrichment, and structure than the shelter can consistently provide. Give this boy a chance to burn off some energy, and even that enthusiastic leash-grabbing can improve!
Max is dog social, people social, neutered, and up to date on vet care. He’s having a hard time in the shelter, and we’d love to see him decompress and do his zoomies in a home.
Read more about Maximus
Max needs a foster or forever home! An experienced Boxer home that understands adolescent energy and can give him the exercise, consistency, and outlets he needs could make all the difference.
MAX is in Maine and needs a FOSTER OR ADOPTER URGENTLY!

BAILEE HERE! REPORTING LIVE FROM MY FREEDOM RIDE!
Okay, friends… I’m not sure where we’re going, but I’m LOVING this freedom ride thing! The wind, the adventure, speeding toward my new life… 10/10.
I’m a 3-year-old brindle Boxer girl, and I’m told I’m a pretty special passenger. I’m sweet, petite, happy, and ready to find my very own family!
A little about me:
I’ve lived with kids and other dogs.
I’ve seen cats, and so far, not too interested.
I’m a picky eater so I'm pretty trim
And my FAVORITE thing in the whole wide world? MY FOSTER MAMA.

I follow that woman EVERYWHERE. She moves, I move. She sits, I’m right there. If she ever figures out how to shower without me supervising, I’ll be shocked.
I guess you could say I’m a little Velcro girl!
I’ll be ready for adoption NEXT WEEK, and I’m hoping my freedom ride is just the beginning of a lifetime of adventures with my forever family.
Could you be my copilot for life?

4. Cincy
Adult (1 year 6 months) · Female · Boxer (short coat) · 10 mi from Liberty





Meet Colombia, now known as Cosette.
Cosette is about 1–2 years old, healthy and spayed, and she’s slowly gaining weight, confidence, and trust. She absolutely loves other dogs, and her canine friends have been so important in teaching her what it means to simply be a dog.
She’s still timid and unsure of new surroundings, and we don’t have any history with little kids. But she is a total sweetheart who is making progress every day.
For Cosette, a fenced yard is a must right now. She isn’t comfortable walking on a leash or navigating unfamiliar places yet, so having a safe space where she can take things at her own pace will be important.
Read more about Cincy
She has already come SO far. Now she just needs someone willing to give her the time and patience to discover how good life can be.
9 Cincy dogs have found their people. Can we find Cosette hers?

*********
THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH. NOW IT’S THEIR TURN TO LEARN THAT LIFE CAN BE GOOD. ❤️
Please welcome Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil & Columbia.
These four beautiful girls were among the dogs rescued from a condemned property where they lived covered in fleas, feces and urine, with little to no socialization.
Right now, they’re still in the shelter—and they’re struggling. The noise, unfamiliar surroundings and sheer overwhelm have made it difficult for them to understand that people are here to help.
But their story isn’t over. ❤️
This week, they’ll leave the shelter. We’re hoping that with quiet spaces, patience, gentle care and time, we’ll begin to see these scared girls discover their brave.
We can’t wait to meet the dogs hiding underneath all that fear.
Welcome, girls. Your good life is coming. ❤️

Birds? Must chase.
Leaves? Apparently also suspicious and worthy of pursuit.

8. Seth
Adult (3 years 2 months) · Male · Boxer (short coat) · 10 mi from Liberty



Welcome to CH Boxer Rescue, Seth!
This handsome goofball just traded the noise and stress of an overcrowded shelter for the comfort of a foster home. Every kennel matters in a packed shelter, so by welcoming Seth to safety, foster mom Kelly also made room for another dog desperately waiting for their chance. ❤️
Seth is a young, healthy, fully vetted wigglebutt, estimated to be 3–4 years old and weighing in at 72 pounds. He's full of playful energy, loves his toys, and has a blast running around the play yard. He also tested well with other dogs, loves water and was even pretty indifferent to cats—a rare talent for a boxer!

Now all that's left is finding this silly, fun-loving guy the family he deserves. Stay tuned as we get to know Seth even better!

Meet Bia.
The vet believes Bia is around 2 years old, and as you can see, her transformation has been incredible.
Many of you followed the story of two Boxer moms and their puppies who were dumped in the woods in rural Texas. Bia was one of them. It took several days for our trappers to safely bring her in, and we’re so grateful she’s now safe with us. Rhea has already found her forever, and now it’s Bia’s turn.
Bia is a sweetie with so much love to give. She’s dog friendly, kid friendly, affectionate and has a great appetite, she loves treats! Her foster family describes her as a gentle, loving dog who enjoys being with people and other dogs.

11. Bandit
Young · Male · Carolina Dog / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat) · 38 mi from Liberty




Meet Bandit!
Bandit is a 1 year old, neutered Carolina dog and Labrador mix who was saved from euthanasia in a high kill TX shelter. He has been fostered for 3 months in Lebanon, TN. We are looking to rehome him in the next two to three weeks because our resident dogs do not get along with him despite our best efforts.
Read more about Bandit
He is eager to please, intelligent, playful, medium energy, affectionate and curious! He is good with people of all ages, including children 5 and older, and gets along well with dogs when he is properly introduced. We think Bandit would do well in a home with other dogs that match his playful energy. He would also do well in a home as a solo dog.
We do not recommend him for a home with cats given his prey drive towards small animals.
Bandit is house/potty trained, crate trained and walks well on a leash. He currently knows "sit", "leave it" and “wait” and will patiently wait at doors and for his meals. He is very treat motivated and responds well to a clicker during his training. He has received some obedience training and continues to learn new skills each week.
Bandit loves to play fetch, loves squeaky and chew toys and playing chase with his foster siblings.
Bandit is 41 lbs, in perfect health, neutered, fully vetted, up to date on all vaccines and rabies, heartworm negative, microchipped and current on heartworm preventive.
Foster will provide Bandit’s food, all vet records and rabies certificate for his new adopter.
If Bandit sounds like the kind of companion you've been missing, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Be sure to include your city and state so we can learn a little about where this handsome fellow might be headed for his next chapter!

12. Remy
Adult · Male · Australian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 38 mi from Liberty




Meet our most handsome Remy! This Australian Shepherd mix is a loving, 2 year old, 62 lb, boy who is searching for a dog focused family that will spend lots of time with him. He delights in being with his favorite people and we are looking for a family or situation that will not leave him home alone a lot. A work from home family or stay at home mom with teens. He is crate trained, house trained, and has completed 2 weeks of basic obedience training. He learned heel, sit, down, stay, and come. He was a favorite of the staff! Remy has gotten along with the other dogs in his foster home who are about his same size, as well as a playmate at Doggie Daycare.
Read more about Remy
Remy would not be a good fit with cats as he wants to chase them. A large fenced yard would be best so he can safely run and play with plenty of room, but he also loves being indoors with his family. . A home with adults or teens would be best because of his size and playfulness. This is a boy that has started a wonderful road of polishing his manners and his behaviors and is going to good places for his future. Are you the family to take him the rest of the way home? Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested. Please tell us where you live; city and state.

Otis is a breath of fresh air when you meet him. His enthusiasm for life and his true desire to be friends with all the world is so joyful to watch.

18. Rambo
Adult · Male · Shih Tzu / Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Mixed · 38 mi from Liberty




Meet Rambo, a 13-pound Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix guy with a big personality and a heart that is just beginning to figure out how wonderful it can be to belong to someone. At around 4–5 years old, Rambo arrived at a small-town Tennessee shelter as a stray, and it didn't take long for him to stand out. He's a handsome, happy, good-natured little character who seems to be discovering, perhaps for the first time, what it means to be safe, loved, and somebody's very own dog.
Rambo is a work in progress in the sweetest possible way. He genuinely wants to please, is smart, and picks up on new concepts quickly.
Read more about Rambo
In just two weeks in foster care, he has made wonderful strides. He's learning household manners, responding to verbal corrections, figuring out doorways and curbs, and discovering that walks can be fun. He still looks to his people for reassurance when something is unfamiliar, but he's learning to trust that someone is there to help him navigate this big new world.
And then there's the affectionate side of Rambo that really makes you smile. He loves pressing his little head against you, and he's beginning to understand that cuddling isn't something he has to be suspicious of. Recently, his foster mom was able to hold him close for a long, peaceful snuggle. He would drift off to sleep, suddenly wake and look around as if checking that everything was still okay, then settle right back in. It was one of those little moments that tells you just how much this boy is learning to let his guard down. He's not completely relaxed yet, but every day brings a little more progress.
Rambo has embraced the comforts of home, too. Soft blankets, fluffy pillows, cozy beds, and toys have quickly become some of his favorite things. He has a crate he considers his own little safe place, and if he decides a toy is especially wonderful, he'll carry it right inside. He's also learning that a little structure goes a long way. His foster family has found that giving him a designated pillow to settle on helps him calm down when his excitement gets the better of him. He can get a little mouthy when overly excited or too familiar, but he is responding to gentle, consistent verbal correction and learning better ways to interact.
He is doing well with the other dogs in his foster home, who have been helping him learn the ropes. One is showing him the fun side of being a dog, while another is keeping him mindful of boundaries. Rambo is still learning that food will be available regularly, so he does best eating separately to keep mealtimes peaceful. He's also a little nervous about stairs, but he's perfectly willing to let his favorite human carry him when needed. At the vet, he was a social, happy little fellow whose tail hardly stopped wagging.
We suspect Rambo may not have had much experience with the kind of patient, unconditional affection every dog deserves. He's still learning that he doesn't have to look out for himself all the time, that his bed will still be there tomorrow, and that a gentle hand can mean comfort instead of uncertainty. Watching him make those discoveries has been incredibly rewarding.
Rambo needs a person who will give him time to settle in, offer clear and consistent guidance, and celebrate the little victories along the way. In return, you will get a clever, affectionate, entertaining companion with so much potential and a growing desire to be close to his people. He's already making progress in foster care, and we think the right person will help him blossom even more.
Rambo may not arrive knowing all the rules of being someone's beloved little dog, but he's eager to learn. And just imagine how wonderful it will be when he finally realizes that he's home for good. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested. He is in Nashville, TN in a foster home and we transport to the northeastern corridor of states and have designated transport stops every weekend. We have been transporting d

19. Brittany
Young · Female · Beagle (short coat) · 38 mi from Liberty




This beautiful purebred Beagle girl called Brittany is our pride and joy to offer to a Beagle loving family. Her story is sad and one that will make you sad and mad all rolled in to one roller coaster of emotions. A young newly wed couple were driving from their home in Chattanooga, on their way to a honeymoon in Nashville, TN. Out of the corner of their eye while driving, they saw a truck pulled over and pushing this girl out onto the side of the road and then drive away. They owned two dogs of their own and it broke their heart to see such meanness. She was in a desperate situation. They pulled over and took her in to their car and then started making calls to shelters and rescues in the Nashville area where they were destined to arrive in a few hours.
Read more about Brittany
They got Critter Cavalry on the phone and we stepped up to take her in immediately and we would make sure she had a future family who would never do such a horrible thing as to abandon her. What we have found out with Brittany is that she is a happy and inviting girl who loves to play with other dogs and who loves to spoken to with kindness. She craves love which we are sure she got little of before. Her fav game is to chase a ball. She is young as in probably a year or 2 at the oldest and she weighs 26 pounds. She is being spayed 10/23 and has already started her shots and worming. She is picture perfect if you want a Beagle or small dog that is not tiny but resilient and fun and loving. We know she loves couches and dog company for playtime and hanging out. She’s housebroken and will definitely need a fenced yard to keep that Beagle nose safely within sight of your back door.

Adopting a dog in Liberty
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
