Just adopted the sweetest dog! Everyone we worked with at Critter Cavalry and the foster affiliate were very caring people and made the process easy while still ensuring we were a good home for our new pup!! read more

During a very sad time in my life, I attended The MARS adoption event (2011) and adopted Skeeter from Critter Cavalry Rescue. I met Candace Giles there, who was very thorough in her background search of me, because I was adopting one of her fosters. I am glad she did. After speaking with Candace, I was touched by the countless hours and work that her organization puts in, to help animals in need. So, my husband and I began to foster for CCR. We also became "failed fosters" to Xena and Aries. A pair of GS siblings found underneath a bridge in Nashville, that were taped inside a box. The stories of these poor pups is heart-breaking! It was truly an eye-opening experience. You have no idea how hard it is to care for these (mostly dogs) for weeks and then having to give them back, because they are on transport to their forever homes. There are vet visits, sitting hours, acclimation, socialization, basic skills training. So much that the potential adopters do not see, goes on behind the scene. CCR is a wonderful organization, with many volunteers. Our Skeeter is going strong at almost 15! I would definitely adopt from Candace again, or even foster, if we still lived in TN. read more

I spoke to the receptionist about a kitten I had found, and she argued with me the whole call " you're not in Williamson you're in Davidson" " the cat can't be 4 pounds Its more likely to be 2lbs". Thank you for that information ma'am but I wanted to know how to help this cat. She was extremely rude and did not care about the animal. She did not give any resources just told me " we are super full right now. It's a major problem. You can send me pictures if you want." Horrible service. read more

Critter Calvary Rescue is simply the best! Going through the adoption process was wonderful. I liked that they vetted me by call from references and my Vet. Our little girl's foster family, Regina and Gabriella were so good to her and sent me pictures and updates during her foster stay. We met Tim and the van in Stauton, VA. Tim was so good with the van babies. He made sure they all got a little break from all the driving. When he put my little girl in my arms for the first time I started crying tears of joy. I promised her that her new life had just started and all she'd know from now on was love. I cannot thank Candace and her crew enough for the amazing job they do. I cannot thank them enough for allowing me to adopt my precious Joanie read more

Found a dog we liked, filled out the application, was approved and then, the foster parents decided they did not want to give him up. The Rescue waited three days before they let us know and we had to call them to find out that we were not getting the dog. Best to deal with a more reputable place. And their fees are not cheap. read more

I had a very positive experience with Critter Cavalry Rescue. I picked out a dog online that I thought I wanted to adopt and filled out an application. I included photos of my home and yard, along with personal references and my vet's information. Judi contacted me to let me know that the foster mom of the dog I wanted felt that he would do best if placed in a home with other dogs. Unfortunately, I have two cats but no other dogs. At first, I was disappointed, but Judi then suggested a different dog and sent me the info on him. She put me in touch with his foster mom, and the rest is history. The transport from TN to VA was excellent, and Tim, the driver, kept me informed along the way. Coal is a perfect fit for our family, and while I've had him only four days now, I can't imagine life without him. I've dealt with other rescues in the past, and this experience truly stands out as the best. The fact that CCR chose not to give me the dog (I thought I wanted) because it was in the dog's best interest tells you all you need to know. I highly recommend! ** ** I noticed a past reviewer accusing CCR of profiteering, and I know for a fact that this is false. I sent no money to CCR. I dealt directly with the transport driver and the vet hospital that neutered my dog. read more

Sorry, Candace. you posting your own reply 4 years after I wrote it is a thinly veiled attempt to raise your rating. I work with a rescue in Ala. that transports pets to New England, so I'm well aware of the costs involved. I stand by what I say that you are running a rescue for profit, regardless of your 501c3 status. You claim you feel sorry for my pets? I wish I could come back in my next life being treated like I treat my pets. I have adopted 3 dogs from this rescue, and I have fostered for them, and fundraised for them. Your shabby and dishonest treatment of me is not only your loss, but sadly it is another loss for the dogs you exploit for personal gain. read more

I can't say enough good things about Critter Cavalry rescue and couldn't have asked for a better experience as a first-time rescuer! Yes, they are very thorough and ask for a lot of information, but they do this to ensure the animals they rescue go to the right homes and don't have to endure any more trauma in their lives. If we had listened to all the negativity, we would not have Honey, our beautiful Pom Chiweenie, previously known as Treasure and let me tell you she has been a real treasure to us the last 5 plus months. We love her so much and couldn't imagine our lives without her! She had previously endured so much being found on the streets of TN alone and scared with puppies when she was just a puppy herself. I don't even want to imagine what she went through. CC worked with the local shelter to ensure she was saved, spayed, had most of her shots and went to a great foster while awaiting her forever home. Everyone we dealt with from Carol with the application process, Shannon who checked references, Karen who was part of New England area transport and helped arrange her interim foster mom Alyssa, have all been great. We were able to speak to Karen and FaceTime with Alyssa and Honey while still going through application process. We were lucky to pick her up only a couple hours from us, Tim and Harold were great with transport, and we had her home with us only 6 days after starting the process. Karen still follows up periodically to check on her. In my opinion, these volunteers go above and beyond to help these animals find loving, hopefully forever homes. If you are looking for a pet, please rescue and please give Critter Cavalry a shot, you won't be disappointed! read more

We recently adopted a precious 2 yr old black Labrador and can't speak highly enough about this wonderful organization. Candace Simpson Giles was great and all the representatives we worked with were kind, professional, and responsive. The adoption process went quickly and smoothly (rated 5 of 5). Our sweet Labrador came out of her wonderful foster home happy, healthy and ready to become a member of our family. Thank you Critter Cavalry. Your commitment to providing animals to good homes is exceptional. Your thoroughness in ensuring each animal is matched with an appropriate adopter is so important for all involved. Highly recommend. read more

Critter Cavalry Rescue is my new, go-to for pet rescue and adoption. I can't recommend them strongly enough. Their communication was stellar! Prompt, courteous and thorough. The communication from the foster mom was equally fantastic. We adopted a baby lab mix puppy who started life in the wild, found in a barn a couple of days after her mom and siblings were found, and you can imaging what a scared little baby she would be. While she was a little nervous at first (who wouldn't be!) she was interacting and chasing us around after a few short minutes. The team at CCR asked for pics which we gladly sent. I'm not going to comment on other negative reviews but take them with a grain of salt. Anyone can have a bad day and since this rescue is staffed by volunteers, communication standards can be difficult to maintain. I experienced NO problems with the several members of their team over the couple of days it took to fill out the application, go through the interview process, sharing photos of our yard and contacting the foster mom. We are now waiting (somewhat impatiently), for the transport of our second puppy! LOVE this rescue and appreciate all of the volunteers (staff, foster parents) and their leadership. read more

I just adopted a wonderful rescue puppy through the auspices of this organization. I cannot sing their praises more highly. From the beginning of the application process through the final pick-up of our new fur baby from their transport operation, their attention to detail and genuine care for the dear rescues in their charge is ever so apparent. I have dealt with some other rescue organizations where there was not only a great lack of communication, but also an aura of callousness and disinterest. Critter Cavalry is truly interested in the welfare of their furry charges and do all possible to find the most loving homes for their rescues. At the same time, they are transparent and establish open communication with hopeful adopters. They have phenomenal fosters who are able to provide the rescues with a loving, secure and attentive temporary household in preparation for their forever adoptive families. Once an adopter has been chosen, every detail regarding the logistics of the payment of fees and the process of pick-up in coordination with their transport up from Tennessee to the Northeast is seamless! I am heartned to know that there are animal rescues such as this one! Thank you for all that you do! read more

I had a very pleasant and somewhat easy experience with critter Calvary adopting my loving, sweet, calm flat coated retriever mix rescue. I was pleasantly surprised they checked all references. The only reason I can't give them a 5 star rating is the Vet records caused me to have to do some extra work on my part. I had to reach out to the foster for more info after I received the dog. The foster was very communicative and quick responses. I also didn't receive the rabies tag they have to mail it to me. The communication was great. The transport was seamless, but I expected to have the dog food the dog had been eating at the foster and a toy pr something to help him transition easily. Considering it is all volunteer based I understand the imperfection. for my first rescue experienc. I'd use this rescue again and refer others to them. Very nice group of people doing hero's work. read more

This rescue organization is phenomenal. They are quick to respond to any and all questions that you may have. Candace is so sweet and very informative. I could not have asked for a better experience. All of their pups are loved and taken care of like they were their own. It was a quick and easy process. They do thorough background checks to keep the pups safe. This organization is top notch. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in adoption rescue. I am so thankful I found them. Colleen read more

Critter Cavalry was great! They responded to me in a timely manner. They did incredible work with the dog I adopted, who had been neglected.

I highly recommend them. read more

We adopted a Great Pyrenees mix and this oragnization was amazing helping us to know that we were matching with the right animal. We were a little nervous about adopting a 100lb dog who was a year old. Critter Rescue was so honest with us in calls after we were accepted to adopt him describing him perfectly. They set my mind at ease and this dog is everything we hoped he would be and more. This rescue cared for him so beautifully. He arrived in perfect health, very clean and fluffy and was very affectionate and kind from the moment we met him. Critter Calvary and its volunteers are doing amazing work.

No star would be a better option. I can't believe this organization could ruin such a special moment as an adoption. Back story. I was looking online for a kitten to adopt, I found a kitten on the website. We're I absolutely fell in love with now They have these filters, so you can look for specific Types my specific type was for a male kitten. When I found the kitten I was looking for and I thought everything was okay.I contacted filled up the forms and adopted this kitten. Come to find out the kitten is actually a female, and nobody at this organization or the previous foster parents ever decided to check the cats veterinary record, stating that the animal is actually a female. Everything that was posted online about this animal says he's male. When I asked gwen the lady that I adopted the cat through if it was a male, she said, yes. Now when I contacted the organization through email, I was ignored when I tried to text them about the issue. I've seen that my message were read and ignore it again. And finally, when I called candace simpson to try and resolve this issue.I was laughed at and hung up on. Unfortunate how this situation was handled by these people. read more

We just received our new family member, Sadie from Critter Cavalry Rescue. She is a Welsh Corgi/Chihuahua mix. It was the first time that we used the internet to find a pet and have it shipped for hours to get to us. We were a little concerned to start, but CCR quickly put our concerns to rest. The woman that we worked with (Judi) as superb! CCR made this a great experience from start to finish. First, they make sure the adopting family is a good match for the animal. Then, they make sure the animal is a good fit for the family. Our new girl was thoroughly checked by the vet to make sure she was in the peak of health - CCR sent all her vet records with her. Prior to receiving Sadie, she was so well cared for! The foster-mom Ada, was so helpful in providing the details about Sadie's personality and care. When we finally received her, it was as though we already knew her. Ada cared for Sadie as if she were her own - and it showed when we received her. The delivery van arrives over night, so be prepared - that's just how it's done. Ours new pet came after 3AM. The drivers were also quite personable. The van was clean and odor-free. The transport cages were comfortable sizes for the animals. We would highly recommend Critter Cavalry Rescue to anyone looking for their next special family member. They were outstanding! Keith & Kathy Vogrin Bethlehem, Pennsylvania read more

I fostered for them (out of state) for 5 years. Nearly 70 dogs. We loved each and every one! Candace became a friend--she was super responsive to us if we needed something--put me in touch with a behavioral coach if there was an issue (i.e. pulls on leash or other small issue) and a vet if a medical issue, and made sure I had access to what I needed for the success of getting the dog placed. I loved that they really care about the dogs and gave them the care they needed. They don't just take the cute and healthy. They really Rescue! We ended up adopting one of our fosters from them. They are wonderful to work with and we'd still be doing it if we hadn't moved away from their adopting region. The weekly transport from TN to CT is operated by Tim (husband of co-owner of rescue) and another helper. They are the best! We lived an hour from where the transport passes through Maryland and it came around midnight. We were updated by Tim of the arrival time when he was enroute. Always a pleasure to see them! I would highly recommend Critter Cavalry Rescue. They care where their rescues are placed. read more

I found a dog on Petfinder at animal control in Lawrenceburg TN. I called the the shelter and spoke the director, Renee. I explained that I lived in Ky and needed a couple of days to drive down to get her. She was so kind and said she would make some calls to see if a rescue could help me. Candace at Critter Cavalry and her fosters did just that! They managed to get her vetted, spayed and driven to Nashville where I picked her up. I would have never gotten this sweetie home without their help. I know that Critter Cavalry takes a high volume of dogs and cats in dire need of good homes. Running a rescue has to be exhausting on so many levels. I was lucky my dog did not have any serious health issues. In some cases they do and the shelter can't always make everything perfect but do their best. You must know the risks and be willing to commit if you adopt a neglected, abused or abandoned animal. I highly recommend this rescue! read more

Adopting with Critter Cavalry was such a wonderful experience. From communication, foster home connection, description of the pet and pick up at transport, everything was seamless.

I have been a rescue volunteer myself for over ten years, so from my own experiences with animal placement, this is and was a gold star experience. Thank you, Candace and Carol for the most beautiful Beagle " Lil' Blue Bea" who is now happily in her forever home with us. We could not be more grateful for your efforts and all the work your dedicated volunteers do for the animals. read more

We adopted Indy, formerly Puppy Cade, in February. He has filled our home with energy and unconditional love. The adoption process was thorough and simple.

We are thankful to Critter Calvary and their volunteers who work tirelessly to find the best homes for their rescues. read more

I adopted my dog (Laika) from Critter Cavalry way back in April 2013, and I was so happy with the experience and the group that I decided to foster for them. Laika is such an amazing part of my life, and in order to have found her way to me, someone needed to foster her, so I just wanted to give back and put that same energy back into the world. I've fostered well over 100 dogs in the past 8 years, and it's been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Sometimes fostering is stressful. Every dog is unique, and I think Candace and our other volunteers do a great job of matching up compatible dog personalities for my personal lifestyle. For example, I don't have a fenced in yard, so we know that high energy dogs that need to run around a lot will not be happy here. The thing that sets Critter Calvary apart from less reputable groups is that I never feel pressured to continue fostering a dog that is absolutely not working here. I never feel stuck with a dog. We have a wonderful network of local volunteers and there have been a handful of times when a dog is just not working well here, and we can almost always swap foster dogs, or step in and help eachother out somehow. It's really great to have that support system of people who have also worked with lots of different dogs that I can bounce ideas off of, or who will step in to help me out when I get overwhelmed. There have been times where I have too much going on in my life, and I take a short break from fostering, because I know that I just don't have the emotional capacity to be helpful to a dog, and Candace has never made me feel bad, or pressured me to take a dog when I am not in a good place. I never feel trapped with a dog that I can't handle. I have never had any experiences with the group that has led me to ever question their dedication to the health or care for a dog. The dogs have a long ride up to CT, and when they come up on transport, their have clean crates, the dogs aren't stinky, and it's absolutely obvious that Tim and his co-driver take excellent care of them on the way up and make sure that they're not sitting in filth or uncomfortable. Every dog that comes up has a clean bill of health before they get on transport, and has been vaccinated. These dogs all have different histories, some are owner surrenders, some are a basket of puppies that end up on someone's doorstep, but most are strays that come from overcrowded shelters and a ticking clock. Emergencies can happen, and the dog's health always comes first. I have an open dialog with Candace if I suspect anything is unanticipated is wrong, and we'll work together to either get a vet consult, a dog behavior consult, or in rare cases, a visit to the ER. I have never been put in a position where I quesiton anyone's dedication to happy, healthy dogs. A common complaint that I see is about phone calls. I'll be completely honest... I'm a millenial and I'm terrified of the phone. I also have a full time job and a life, and every few months, Candace has to kick me in the pants and remind me that the phone isn't my enemy and that I really should get better at calling people back quicker. Other foster parents have large families and life just gets in the way sometimes. We really do try to respond to emails quickly and respond to phone calls quickly, but all I ask is that people understand that we're all just human, we're all volunteers, and there's always some emergency somewhere that takes up our time, so maybe if you're applying for a dog that's already adopted, it's possible that you get put on the back burner for a minute for a response. We don't have a customer service center. We're just people. Be nice, send a follow up email and ask for an update. If you act like a jerk, there's a good chance we won't respond at all. Don't be a jerk. We're saving dogs here, relax. Rescuing dogs can be a thankless job, and my heart has been broken over and over by how terribly people can treat man's best friend. Sometimes I'll get a dog that has absolutely no reason to ever trust people again, but yet they do. Over and over. Dogs have this amazing ability to live in the moment and not hold a grudge. I am constantly humbled by their willingness to let go of their distrust in exchange for some cookies and a cozy lap. I am humbled by the absolute pure joy in their hearts when I come in the door. It's a constant reminder to myself that I also possess the ability to be that joyful if I could let go of past grievances. I struggle with social anxiety, but when I see a dog who has every reason to be afraid of humans absolutely melt into butt wiggles and a wagging tail and a big smile when they meet their new family, it's a reminder that I can't control other people, but I can control how *I* interact with the world. read more

First off, I completely understand this is a non-profit organization and they are likely very genuine in the fact that they are in it to help home animals vs profit off their donors. That being said, these people are the most unorganized bunch I have ever had to deal with. I'm surprised they haven't been investigated by the State and/or lost more animals than they have. They likely need more funding and more volunteers, but their leadership needs a fresh change or at least a vacation. These people are burnt out. They are rude, disorganized, lack compassion, and frankly just awful to work with. After reading some of these other reviews, it's clear they have someone writing for them. read more

I adopted my precious boy from here in November of 2017 and have 0 regrets! The lady that reviewed my application was incredibly nice and helpful. It's very clear that she cares about the animals. I was also allowed to speak to the foster mom of my dog for an hour before I decided to officially adopt (he was driven up from TN to CT so I didn't get to meet him first!). She was so nice about all of my questions and even had questions for me which I appreciated. We both wanted to make sure that the dog I had chosen was going to not just a good home, but a home that would be a good fit for him :) I would definitely recommend working with them if you're interested in adopting! read more

It was an experiance that has made us question adopting from a rescue. They were supplied with all the requested information, contacts and sources. We had one phone call which was around the dogs care outside. I conveyed that we were certainly open to what the best practice was considered, because we had the land to do it. Then 5 days without any response after repeated inquiries. When we finally heard back their decision was made with out further discussion and made on an scenario that was certainly solvable. Thier communication was less than ideal considering the emotional investment on all sides to look to give an animal a good home. I would not expect we would look to deal with them again. Truly disheartening. read more

I want to preface this with the dog we adopted is a good dog and we love her. We adopted our dog in February. We were told she's a great dane/whippet mix. We did a DNA test, she's half dane/half pitbull. Not a big deal, but we are a military family and some places we live have breed restrictions. We absolutely did not want a pitbull. The initial adoption process was fine. The foster gave us a call and was super nice, however (personality wise) the pup she described and the dog we got were very different. For instance, we thought she was okay with other dogs. She's been kicked out of day care for rough housing. We've hired a trainer, worked with her endlessly, tried to socialize her.. we've made progress, but weren't expecting to spend the time and money for the basics. She's also very protective of the home which has pros and cons. The biggest issue with our adoption was we were told the dog was spade. Last week we noticed our pup was in heat. Brought her to the vet, not spaded. We did receive paperwork provided by the rescue she was fixed, but after reading it, it's clear they never really checked. It says she has a scar. Now we're dealing with keeping a close eye on her until she's out of heat, paying for the surgery, and recovery after the surgery. It would have been nice for someone to say "hey we think she's been fixed, but not sure.." Again, we love our dog and wouldn't trade her for anything at this point. We just felt this rescue didn't really do their due diligence or know anything about the dog. We could have adopted from the shelter near our house for 40 bucks and gotten a pitbull mix who was actually fixed. We paid 600 for our dog. read more

I've never left a negative review but I'm feeling a little scammed. Sounds like they might be better for dogs than cats. They got back to me quickly about adopting. I adopted a black kitten from them about a year ago and she's wonderful. When she came home she clearly had a respiratory illness and was sneezing blood. Brought her to the vet and found out the microchip in her doesn't match the paperwork I was given. I contacted Critter Cavalry a couple times to try to get it figured out but never got a response. I ended up using the site where you register your microchip # to get in contact with the family that had adopted a different black cat from Critter Cavalry, and we swapped paperwork to match the microchips that are actually in our cats. So they had just mixed up the paperwork for two similar-looking cats, mistakes happen, all good. Warning: next paragraph's a little gross. A year later I contact them about adopting again, and once again they are quick to respond, contact references, and take the money. I adopt a second lovely cat that I love very much. Soon after adopting her though she's losing fur and vomiting blood and worms: signs of a very serious infection that didn't start recently. (gross part over) I obviously take her to the vet and it turns out she isn't microchipped at all. When I type the microchip number into the PetLink site it says it's already registered to another animal. Thankfully they're able to verify she has a tattoo to show that she's been spayed, but who knows what vaccinations she might be missing. Fool me twice, I guess. Still very happy with the cats I adopted - they're perfect of course. Just maybe don't trust the people involved. read more
