Right now, they do a lot to rescue animals and educate individuals on "fixing" their pets. They also do a lot in giving a voice to animals when it comes to legislation about animal cruelty. Once they get the proper funding to setup their adoption center/ sanctuary, they will be able to grow further as an organization meaning they can rescue more animals- parter with Animal Rescue Corps and the Humane Society of the United States with hoarding or puppy mills cases and do even more with other things like maybe having a spay/neuter clinic. Big things are on the horizon for this nonprofit! I haven't done much with animal rescue through them, but I've helped with fundraising in the hope that they can set up their sanctuary soon! Big dreams :) upcoming events: Oct 5, 2013- Dogstravaganza at 2605 Winford Avenue Nashville, TN 37211 Oct 12, 2013- Barktoberfest at 1973 New Hwy 96 West Franklin, TN 37064

The puppy was found injured, and the organization does an incredible job making sure dogs get the proper care from veteranians and caretakers alike. They scheduled a surgery for our foster dog within the month, and gave us detailed instructions on how to take care of him post operation. The organization is guided by animal behaviorists who offer numerous Zoom session classes on how to train dogs of any age. To get dogs adopted, Agape takes great care making sure dogs are matched across several categories to adoring homes. Everything this organization does is thorough and thoughtful, ensuring dogs are properly cared for. If you're hoping to adopt a dog or help foster one, this is an excellent organization to work with!

This organization is pretty big and they have need for volunteers, fosters, interns (can do for college credit), employees, adopters, and donations. This month, they helped Animal Rescue Corps with Operation unbridled Spirit and saved a bunch of puppy mills dogs! Help them out! They make fostering really a great experience and are looking for year-round fosters, temporary/ short term fosters (for long term fosters who go on vacation, etc), and emergency fosters for cases of hoarding or puppy mill closures. They also do a bunch of events to fundraise like the upcoming Agape Animal Ball on October 19th!

The staff are so great and keep all the kennels as clean as possible. Each of the dogs get out twice a day for walks or yard time, but the more volunteers they get the better care the animals get. If you ever have an extra hour in your day, swing by and walk a pup. They will be so appreciative!

But when I finally got inside to drop off a stray cat I found, they told me they had no space and I'd need to make an appointment. That's something they easily could've told me when I asked at the door where to drop the cat off. Instead, they let me waste my time waiting around for nothing. The whole process felt disorganized and inconsiderate, especially when I was just trying to help an animal in need.

I had a very positive experience with Critter Cavalry Rescue. I picked out a dog online that I…read morethought 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.

I adopted a puppy from them recently. I went in on a Saturday and did all the paperwork. I was…read moreexcited to be able to take home this precious little guy. he was only 7 weeks old. I noticed that he was not eating anything when he was at the adoption place. and would just go to his bed and fall asleep. I thought it was because all his brothers and sisters had got adopted and he was missing his litter mates. when I got him on the Saturday. He still had not ate anything. I figured it was stress and anxiety from being in a new environment. However, that was not the case. by Sunday he could not keep his balance and would just lay in his bed. I knew something was not right. Monday morning i called VCA and told them the issue. I had an appointment with them that Monday in the afternoon but wanted to get my little guy in asap I was scared and worried about him. VCA took him back and advised me that he was sick and needed to stay with them. I then got a call that same after noon and was told he did not make it. VCA was so wonderful and said that he should have been sent over to be looked at before they sent him home with me. So please please when you adopt a puppy or kitten from this place make sure you get them checked before you take them home. I am heartbroken that I lost my little guy. thank you so much love at first sight for making me an emotional reck and making my first experience with you a disaster.

Really sad that I have to leave a review like this…read more We walked in to meet the kittens and I fell in love with the little orange one. I come from out of town and also work for the airlines so I have travel benefits. Not to mention, I also work with a nonprofit where we transport animals from one state to another for foster and adoptions. When I told the woman at this adoption center my situation, she explained that all the animals there needed to be covered with VCA across the street for a full year. And that if I wanted to take the kitten, it would be about $900 That. Is. Insane. So we walked across the street to VCA for clarity. Not only were they shocked that we were told $900, they also seemed confused so they called the woman on the phone. Upon speaking with her, they explain to me that she will not adopt out to anyone who lives more than an hour outside of Nashville. And that the fees are $750 for 1 year of medical bills at VCA. We go back across the street a second time and ask the woman if we could get her a letter from my veterinarian explaining that the kitten would be in perfect hands and if we could please adopt her for a reasonable flat fee and take her elsewhere for care. The woman changes her story AGAIN and says that she won't adopt the kitten out because she only has 2 and wants to stay open through the weekend. That I can try another facility since it's kitten season. Are you serious? The fact that there are people like her who claim to care about the well-being of their animals, when in actuality it's just a money making business, disgust me.

She greeted us when we entered and let us know when the items for her cooler would be arriving ( we were there pretty early). We ordered an Americano with cream and a cold brew with cream. This is the first place out of many where the staff asked how much cream we wanted and poured it in front of us. I know it sounds like a little thing but it's the little things that add up. We also asked her about the animal adoption that they support and she was very excited to tell us about it. Once we hit the road, I looked up what Crossroads is all about and I'm in love! What a wonderful community supporting/ animal loving organization. If I lived here I would be here on the regular.
