Story
Our extremely handsome Border Collie mix boy is called Bear Bear and he is a little guy who was born around the early week of February and he is ready to energize a new family at their very core.   He is so happy and loving and at 13 weeks he is 13 pounds and on his way to be a 45 pound adult dog.  His ready smile and curious nature are just a joy to behold.  He was brought to the Critter Cavalry Rescue fold and to a foster home after he left his KY Momma who Critter Cavalry paid to have spayed and fully vetted as a gratitude to have the puppies.  Bear Bear is just an engaging and warm little puppy who has a wonderful smile and beautiful markings that promise him to become a handsome Border Collie mix boy who will turn heads.   Bear Bear is still working on potty breaks and almost 1000% there.  He just needs a willing and kind  family who are great at training and being a loving group who are patient. Sweet Bear Bear is a willing soul that wants to be your best friend in life.  He is happy and handsome and in the time of his life to be molded and polished in to a fine and loving companion to a wonderful family. .  If you are ready to take on the role as guide and parent to Bear Bear please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com    He is ready to go NOW! 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.comApril 29, 2026, 1:14 pm

Story
  Meet Butters Butters is a playful, expressive Border Collie mix pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s currently working on crate training, potty training, and learning how to walk on a leash—he’s not quite as far along as his other foster buddy Waffles, but he’s making steady progress every day.  Born around Feb. 5th of 2026, this boy is destined to be a very handsome semi-long haired adult boy that will reach the medium range of 50 pounds. One thing you’ll notice right away is that Butters has a lot to say with his voice. He’s more vocal than your average puppy and loves to growl and “talk” during playtime—but it’s all in good fun. It’s just his way of getting into the game and showing his excitement. Butters plays hard with his foster siblings and gets along great with just about everyone—kids, cats, dogs, and adults. He’s social, friendly, and happy to be part of the action. When it’s time to eat, he’s polite and shares his dinner nicely with others.  The Border Collie breed is an active and very intelligent breed of dog.  Butters would benefit from a fenced yard and constant socialization with lots of people and lots of dogs to play with often.  Daily leash walks is great for this breed and it creates such a good bonding time for the owner to establish a closer relationship and affirming the position of who is the leader in the relationship....you and human.  If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic pup who will keep you entertained and grow alongside you then Butters could be your perfect match.  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue for more information at ccrnewengland@gmail.com    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.comApril 29, 2026, 1:14 pm

Story
  Meet Tom — the life of the party wrapped in puppy fluff! This confident, spunky Border Collie mix is bursting with personality and keeps the fun going from sunup to sundown. Whether he’s romping around with his puppy crew or proudly parading through the house with his latest “treasure” (yes… usually a sock), Tom brings laughter everywhere he goes. His signature victory strut? Iconic. His pouty little face when he wants his way? Absolutely irresistible. Born around February 5th, Tom is expected to grow into a handsome 45–50 pound adventure buddy with a soft, slightly longer coat that’s just begging to be pet. He’s already off to a great start—he knows how to sit and is eager to keep learning, especially if treats or praise are involved! Tom loves his people just as much as he loves playtime, and he settles nicely in his kennel when it’s time to recharge. He’d thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can zoom, explore, and burn off that fun-loving energy. Add in daily leash walks, and you’ll quickly become his favorite person (and fearless leader). If your home could use more laughter, more energy, and a whole lot of puppy charm—Tom is ready to deliver. Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to meet this unforgettable little guy!   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.comApril 29, 2026, 1:14 pm

Story
  Meet our wonderfully handsome Border Collie mix boy puppy named Waffles  Waffles is as sweet as his name and ready to find his forever home! This lovable guy is doing great with both crate training and potty training, and he’s already showing what a good housemate he can be. He loves to play hard with his foster siblings and has a fun, goofy energy—balanced by his gentle side, like happily sharing dinner without a fuss. His current favorite “toy”?   An old Croc… and honestly, it’s his prized possession. Waffles should grow to be a 45-50 pound adult Border Collie mix and he will be the smartest and most loving companion you could ever own.  He is in his high learning phase and still learning the ropes when it comes to walking on a leash and he’s making progress every day. He’s never met a stranger and loves to be told how handsome he is. He is so friendly, trusting, and eager for attention. If you’re looking for a playful, sweet, and loyal companion who just needs a little guidance as he grows, Waffles might be your perfect match. If you are interested in this boy puppy please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com    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.comApril 29, 2026, 1:14 pm

Story
Meet Kali! This beautiful, petite border collie is absolutely lovely. She is a wonderful companion: affectionate but not needy, good on the leash, and relatively quiet. She is as smart and trainable as you’d expect for a border collie and very toy focused. Kali is a natural when it comes to off-leash skills and has an excellent recall. Kali does a great job meeting new people—whether they are visitors to the home or people met out on a walk. When our volunteer met Kali in a park, she was immediately friendly though a little (politely) hesitant. After a few minutes, Kali was practically in her new friend’s lap, soaking up the attention. This wonderful girl is looking for an active person/family ready to take her for walks/hikes and play fetch with her. She might love to participate in a dog sport like agility but is not the kind of border collie who absolutely has to have a sport or job. A fenced yard or another means of getting off-leash exercise would be helpful though. Kali doesn’t necessarily need an exceptionally experienced adopter if she goes to a home as an only dog. However, if she goes to a home with a resident dog(s), her adopter would need to be skilled at supervising dog-dog social interactions. Kali currently lives with two other dogs—a young pit bull who is twice her size and a senior feist who is significantly smaller. Kali has always gotten along well with both dogs in most situations. However, when she is overly excited (e.g., mom coming home), Kali has charged and either nipped or muzzle punched the smaller dog. Although minor, each of two incidents has resulted in broken skin and a trip to the vet. Kali’s relationship with the pit bull is much better; however, she does incorporate some herdy nips in her play with the pit bull. Though the pittie is quite tolerant, not every dog would be. So a home with another young dog, Kali’s size or larger, could work if it’s a dog who is a good match for Kali’s temperament, including her play style. In addition, Kali will warn other dogs as they approach her food dish, but this consists of only a little snarly face. Simply feeding dogs separately should be all that's needed. We don’t have any info on whether Kali might be able to live with cats. She currently lives with two birds—a cockatiel and a parakeet—and has an interesting relationship with the cockatiel: they seem to play, with the cockatiel inside the cage and Kali of course on the outside. Meanwhile, Kali ignores the parakeet. Kali does sometimes try to chase small animals seen outside, but she is easily redirected. As a pup, Kali lived on a horse farm and attempted to herd the horses in an overly nippy way. So we do not recommend doing herding with Kali—as a sport or as a job. Kali is about 3 years old and weighs around 30 lbs. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has no known health issues. She is house trained and does not need to be crated. (She will go into a crate but would prefer not to.) Kali looks and acts like a purebred border collie, but without a DNA test, we can't be certain. Kali’s owner loves her very much and is committed to finding her the best possible home. She is unable to keep Kali because of the dynamic between Kali and the resident small senior dog. We (FFOCAS) are helping her loving mom find Kali’s forever home safely. Interested? Please email us (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) or reach out via adoptapet. We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved—especially Kali!
