Story
Need to rehome her as my aunt's has family medical issues. I've been fostering her but I'm allergic. Lilli is a 1 year old cutie. She's super smart, eager to please and once she warms up she's a spunky little character. She knows sit, lay down, come, off and paw. Still working on other commands. She is loyal, engaged, and deeply interested in being close to her people whenever she can be. Lilli would do great in an active home. She'd love to join you on all of your outdoor adventures! Be it hiking or in the backyard. She would absolutely thrive in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, or obedience rallies. Anything fast, fun, and challenging is going to bring out the very best in her. After a good run and a solid play session, she'd happily snuggle for the rest of the night.

Story
Meet Kobe — a gentle, loyal 4‑year‑old Border Collie mix with a heart as soft as his coat. Kobe is the kind of dog who makes family life sweeter. He’s wonderful with children of all ages, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and has the calm, steady presence that makes him easy to love from the start. He enjoys going outside for walks and fresh air, but his favorite place will always be right by his people. He’s fully potty trained, has never had an accident, and is crate trained with excellent manners. Kobe is neutered, microchipped, and up‑to‑date on all vaccinations and routine care. Kobe just completed all of his treatments after testing heartworm positive. He handled it with his usual gentle spirit, and his adopters will need to continue supporting him by maintaining monthly preventatives. Kobe is looking for a loving home that will give him the affection, patience, and steady companionship he deserves. If you’re hoping for a well‑trained, tender‑hearted dog who will bond deeply with his family, Kobe may be the perfect match. Adoption fee for Kobe is $550. If you’re viewing this on Petfinder and cannot see photos or would like to apply for Kobe, please visit our website: www.frecklesfoundation.org Dogs are up‑to‑date on age‑appropriate vaccines and preventatives. Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue cannot guarantee the exact age or breed of any animal in our care. The age and breed listed are based on information provided to us and the animal’s appearance.

Story
Current Location: Union Bridge, MD Meet Edgar Edgar is a one year old Border Collie and he is everything you would hope for in one of the most brilliant breeds on the planet. Playful, friendly, attentive, and almost unnervingly smart, Edgar is the kind of dog who is always thinking, always watching, and always ready for whatever comes next. He already knows sit, down, and paw, and he picks up new things with the kind of speed that will genuinely impress you. He is food motivated and deeply eager to please, which makes training him an absolute joy. He responds well to correction, takes direction beautifully, and brings his whole self to every interaction. When Edgar decides you are his person, you will feel it. This boy needs to move and think. Long walks, active play, and plenty of mental stimulation are not negotiable for Edgar, they are what he was built for. He would absolutely thrive in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, or obedience rallies. Anything fast, fun, and challenging is going to bring out the very best in him. An active family who loves to get outside and do things will find the most incredible partner in Edgar. But here is the thing about Border Collies that Edgar demonstrates perfectly. After a good run and a solid play session, he is more than happy to settle in and snuggle up with you for a movie night. He works hard and he rests well, and that balance makes him a genuinely wonderful companion for everyday life. He is house trained, crate trained, good with other dogs, great with kids, and friendly with new people. He does not mind being left alone, which speaks to his overall confidence and stability. He is loyal, engaged, and deeply interested in being close to his people whenever he can be. Edgar is not looking for just any home. He is looking for a family that will match his energy, challenge his mind, and reward his tremendous heart. If that sounds like you, Edgar is going to be the best decision you ever made.

Story
  Rex is a young dog who has already lived a lifetime’s worth of hardship—and somehow came out the other side with a gentle soul and an open heart. For much of his first year, Rex lived tied out in the woods with a homeless couple, missing out on everything a puppy should know: safety, structure, and the comfort of belonging. Now, at just barely one year old, he’s finally getting his chance at having a good life that does not include a tieout and living in the woods homeless.    This handsome Corgi mix weighs 25 pounds, with a compact, active build and a few healthy pounds still to gain. He sports the most expressive upright ears, short Corgi legs, a long body, and a gorgeous, fluffy tail reminiscent of a Border Collie. His coat is soft and flowing, and his energy is joyful and contagious once he feels safe. Rex is friendly with other dogs and naturally polite in his interactions. When meeting new people, he approaches gently with a submissive posture, ears back at first—then slowly lifting as his confidence grows. He’s still learning how to walk on a leash and is being introduced to basic commands and manners for the very first time and he’s proving to be a quick learner who genuinely wants to please. Because Rex missed out on early training, he will need an adopter who understands young dogs and enjoys helping one grow into his potential. With consistency and positive guidance, Rex could shine in agility, flyball, or other interactive dog sports. More than anything, he’s a dog who wants to work with his person and be part of a family.  Rex is ready to leave survival behind and step into a life filled with love, guidance, and belonging. If you’re looking for a loyal, family-oriented dog and are willing to help shape his future, Rex may be the one you’ve been waiting for.   To learn more about adopting Rex, please contact 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.comFebruary 19, 2026, 12:17 am

Story
Meet Moss, a 4-month-old Border Collie mix with a sweet heart. He presently weighs 15 to 20 pounds and will mature to between 40 and 45 pounds. Moss is a friendly boy who loves to play with humans and other dogs alike. He was found on a farm in the area and was brought to us in rescue. We're so glad they did because he's a real doll baby! (posted 2/3/26, ME) Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $160.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **February 4, 2026, 4:43 pm
