Critter Ridge Rescue

12/08/2024

💞🐾Introducing Charlie, also known as Church, a sweet and smart 6-year-old neutered male who is still on the lookout for his forever family. Although we’ve introduced him before, his perfect match is yet to come. This handsome guy is everything you could want in a dog—loving, eager to please, and full of potential.

Charlie may have had a rocky beginning—when he first arrived at Critter Ridge Rescue, he was painfully skinny and in need of care and attention. But thanks to a lot of love, he has blossomed into the affectionate, loyal companion we see today. Now, at around six years old, Charlie is thriving and ready to find a home that can offer him the love and security he deserves.

Charlie has a wonderful blend of energy. He loves running on the farm, enjoying the wide open spaces and fresh air, but he’s also just as happy to kick back and relax indoors with his family. Whether it's a game of fetch or lounging on the couch, he adapts to whatever the day holds. His gentle nature makes him a great companion for both outdoor adventures and cozy indoor moments.

Charlie’s social skills extend to both humans and other dogs. He’s been wonderful around other dogs, making him a great addition to a family that already has pets. Whether you’re looking for a companion for your other furry friends or a dog to share your family time with, Charlie fits the bill. He’s loving, eager to please, and always ready for a new friendship!

Charlie would thrive in an environment where he can enjoy both indoor comfort and outdoor activities, ideally a home with access to a yard or even a farm. His love for running and exploring makes him a great fit for a home where he can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Whether you’re on a farm, in a suburban area, or in a home with an active lifestyle, Charlie is adaptable and ready to be part of your life.

If you think Charlie would be a great fit for your home, don't wait! He's ready to find a loving family who will appreciate his charming personality and give him the chance to thrive. Apply to adopt Charlie today at www.critterridgerescue.org

We couldn’t be happier for Taz and his bright future, and we are endlessly grateful to his adopters for opening their hearts and home to him.

❤️ “Cappuccino” (aka Capp) ❤️

He is a very sweet puppy who loves attention, cuddling, and playing. He can be a bit shy sometimes when it comes to facing new things, but is otherwise a very happy boy! He’s got such a cute wrinkly/smooshy face, and beautiful white markings. ♡

We’ve been working on crate training and house training. When he does have accidents in the house, he’s generally good about using a p*e pad.
He’s also doing well at learning the word “no”, and has started to learn ”sit”.

✨ In wearing a red Christmas Bow, and a little Jingle Bell on his collar, this handsome little guy is hoping to win you over so he can have a home/family to call his own this Christmas! 🎄❤️ 😍

If you are interested in Capp please fill out an adoption form on our website or DM us with any questions you may have, pics in the comments 🥰

Ruby wanted to let you know she’s so happy, enjoys shopping trips, lap snuggles, warm fuzzy blankets, sitting in the back porch watching the birds and walks in the neighborhood.
The entire family is in love with her 💕

You can make a difference be it fostering giving an animal a temporary home on the venture to their new one or adopt and give these animals the second chance they deserve just like sweet Ruby Mae!

🌟 Ruby Mae’s Gotcha Day! 🌟

Yesterday, Ruby Mae officially found her forever home, and her new family couldn’t wait to share all the adventures she had on her very first day HOME:

“Thank you for rescuing and caring for Ruby. She IS the sweetest girl.

Today she explored trails at the Rest Area of 421, napped in the car snuggled in a blanket, visited Tractor Supply for shampoo, had a quick hair trim, brushing, bath, and blow-dry (loved the warm air), explored her new backyard, toured her new house, had another nap, got a car ride to visit ‘grandma,’ strolled around PetSmart, met new friends, got a new bed and some soft treats.

We promise to love and care for her every single day for the rest of her life. We’re so happy she is HOME.”

Stories like Ruby Mae’s remind us just how important it is to give animals a chance at a new life. Shelters and rescues are full of sweet souls just waiting for their adventure to begin.

💛 Interested in adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating? DM us or visit www.critterridgerescue.org to make a difference.

Together, we can create more happy endings like Ruby Mae’s! 🐾

🌟 Meet Essie & Her Coffee Crew! 🌟

Essie, a sweet 4-year, 8-month-old hound mix, is ready to find her forever home! She’s a loving lap dog with a calm demeanor—definitely more “snuggle” than “zoomies.” Essie recently gave birth to 10 adorable puppies on August 31st, and though she’s now spayed and ready for her new life, some of her coffee-themed pups are still searching for their homes!

Each puppy has a name inspired by a favorite cup of coffee, and they’re all just as warm and comforting! Here’s who’s available and ready for adoption:

☕ Kona (male)
☕ Ginger (female)
☕ Java (male)
☕ Capp (Cappuccino) (male)
☕ Blondie (female)
☕ Cinnamon (female)
☕ Latte (female)

All puppies are unspayed/unneutered, but Critter Ridge Rescue covers the cost if you use our trusted veterinarian. All apart of our adoption fee.

Essie and her coffee crew would make the perfect addition to your family just in time for the holidays! Imagine the joy and love they’ll bring to your home this Christmas. 🎄

If you’re ready to add a little coffee love to your life, please reach out to learn more about adopting Essie or one of her adorable pups. ☕🐶
