  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 9, 2026, 7:16 pm

Jessie -  4 months & 17lbs (as of 2/3),  Border Collie Mix, SpayedExpected around 40lbs full grown Please click here to if you want to see videos of Jessie  This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Their Foster Parents Said: "Jessie is a very calm, affectionate pup who I think with the right slow exposure will grow into a confident playful gal. She is very well-behaved as far as puppies go. Has had ZERO accidents in the house, and preferring potty on grass or wood chips over pavement. Pretty much just moves from spot to spot around the house with her bone, comfortable going in and out of her crate to hang as well. Making it through the night (about 10PM - 6AM) and then going out every 3ish hours. Wants to be a little skiddish on our long walks. Cars, flags, other dogs and people tend to stop her in her tracks but working on safe exposure to those each day. Jessie is super confident with making new human friends. She's such a sweet and fun dog. And insanely cute with a stunning personality."  Level of dog ownership experience needed:INTERMEDIATE: As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also  tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy levelMEDIUM: Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  TOLERANCE TO CITYAdjusting to the city - I have her out in the suburbs and she is still pretty skittish on our longer walks with cars, flags, other dogs making us pause and sometimes want to hide behind me. I will get her into my place in brooklyn to be able to give you that busier context but I do think its just her adjusting, she gets more comfortable as we go about our walkPOTTY TRAININGYes,I would consider her pretty potty trained, never having had an accident in the house. We go out and as soon as i say 'busy-busy' (something Ive used with my other dogs) she goes right away, preferring grass over pavement but working on it. Right now we go out about every three hours and she will go near the door when its her time to go.COMFORT LEVEL WITH STRANGERSGood at making new friends with humans Social with dogs?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully. How they interact with other dogs depends largely on how their humans help them learn to.  Social with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Sort of – some puppies enjoy interacting with children, others get easily overwhelmed by their energy and attention. Regardless, most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   Social with cats?Yes. Most puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners.  MOUTHY BEHAVIORPast this stage - She really isn't mouthy with hand or feet at all. She is very invested in her bully stick which I think stimulates her in a healthy way, every once in a while she will go for a chair leg or something but I think it's boredom and can be quickly correctedLEASH MANNERSGetting the hang of it - Still a bit early but I think getting the hang of it. She will zig zag some and pull, mostly when she is frightened and trying to make space between her and the scary thing but will respond to correction. Sits nicely to get her leash on and offSEPARATION ANXIETYPast this stage - She is fine to be left alone, may whine for a minute or so but settles nicely. When she is out and about she does like to know where you are and will follow you but will wonder on her own or come hang in the same room as I work. I'll leave her to roam the house while I shower or go upstairs for a bit and then when I leave the house I'll put her in her crateCUDDLE BUG LEVELMedium - She is a great cuddler if you invite her to but is very content on a bed in the same room or at your feetJUMPING ON PEOPLE TO SAY HELLONeeds training While initially very cautious around new people, if they get down on her level she will get very excited and jump but I think with some correction she should move away from it.CRATE TRAININGYep/mostly She is great in her crate! I leave the door open all day and she will sometimes go in there to nap. She goes in for the night around 10PM with me getting her out around 6AM with no accidents. Very minimal whining, usually only a minute or two as I head upstairs. I also leave her in there when I leave the house with again no issues, usually just goes to sleep MEDICAL STATUS:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines (for dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age), spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon HOW DID THIS DOG END UP WITH US?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.  PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses though!  This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes.

Jonie - 4 months & 16lbs (as of 2/3), Border Collie Mx, SpayedExpected around 40lbs full grown This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Thier Foster Parent Says: "I couldn't be more in love with Miss Jonie. Beyond being ridiculously cute, she is one sweet puppy! She loves humans -- no stranger danger here -- and will snuggle with just about anyone she encounters. Jonie is a very smart dog and it shows: she's quickly become a pro at going potty outside and she's become accustomed to the leash quite quickly as well. She has typical puppy energy, but it comes in small spurts. Her favorite thing to do in play time is to use chew toys and play fetch. Our day to day has consisted of SO many cuddles, good walks (though it's been difficult with this recent weather!), saying hi to ALL the neighbors, and mastering some basic commands. Our girl can sit! Overall: she is simply darling, and anyone would be lucky to have her join their family."

(This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  TOLERANCE TO CITYCity pup – She is shockingly unfazed by almost everything -- cars, other dogs, people walking.POTTY TRAININGYes – Few or no accidents She is a nearly a master at the potty already! The first few days, she definitely used her wee pads, but now knows to go outside and is doing so regularly / communicating if / when she needs to go out. If she ever goes inside (rare), she knows to go on her wee pads.COMFORT LEVEL WITH STRANGERSSocial butterfly – Wants to be friends with everyone who walks by, loves anyone who will stop to say hello. Literally could not be more of a people person.BEHAVIOR WITH CHILDREN Maybe for age 12 and up – Is either big and energetic (okay with kids big enough not to get knocked down) or a little skittish (could be comfortable with older children that can be extra gentle) Only say this because she is definitely teething (though I know she will grow out of this) -- she occasionally / playfully will bite clothingSOCIAL BEHAVIOR WITH OTHER DOGSYes – Good with most other dogs (sizes, breeds, etc.) as far as we know and enjoys socializing with other canines Based on what I have seen, she has not been scared of any dog / enjoys socializingSocial with cats?Yes. Most puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners.MOUTHY BEHAVIORWorking on it –  Little bit of chewing on shoes / etc., but minor and will stop when told.SEPARATION ANXIETY (Please leave your foster dog home alone every day for at least 20 minutes.)Past this stage – She is an independent queen, does not whimper or whine and knows how to entertain herself with toys (or honestly just naps) when I'm gone.LEASH MANNERSGetting the hang of it CUDDLE BUG LEVELHigh – Wants to be in your lap pretty much all the time BIG CUDDLER!JUMPING ON PEOPLE TO SAY HELLOListens to correction – Only jumps on people they know when really excited, stops with correction.  CRATE TRAININGNot at all – Don’t even have one, I’ve puppy proofed and we free range. I do have one and she will sometime freely enter and chill, but I haven't attempted to leave her in as it hasn't been necessary  MEDICAL STATUS:Healthy as far as we know.

Johnny - 4 months &15lbs (as of 2/3), Border Collie Mix, NeuteredExpected around 45lbs full grown This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Thier Foster Parents Say: "Johnny has been an absolute Angel babe. He’s really coming into his own! He’s learning potty training, and getting better each walk! He’s still a little scared of the big city but is getting more brave every day. He loves chasing pigeons and seeing kids playing. He’s a little scared of other dogs in passing and is very curious about everything. His energy comes and goes in bursts. Having zoomies in the morning and at night, then being mostly chill and cuddly between. I swear he’s part bunny, he’s got some hops! He’s crate training for when we’re out of the home and sleeping for the night. He is moderate about new humans, a bit shy but open and sweet. He does ask for “uppies” that I will need to be corrected as he gets a little older. I’ve just spoiled him a bit being so small, transitioning from PR and it being so cold out. He seems to have almost no separation anxiety and comfortable being independent. He’s a little talkative but not a huge barker, his sounds kind of sound like human groans they’re actually quite cute." More Information On His Personality: "Johnny has been an absolute Angel. His energy level is medium; he gets zoomies after his morning walk, then crashes pretty hard afterward. We've been doing enrichment activities and playing a lot inside, as he's not such a huge fan of the cold. He is still adjusting to the city, but is getting braver every day. He’s a little scared of other dogs when he passes.He is learning potty training, currently going on the pads between walks. He is a social butterfly with strangers. He wants to walk up and say hi to everyone who passes. He seems very tolerant and gentle around children. He wants to chase squirrels and pigeons. He seems gentle, just curious, and excited. We're working on his mouthy behavior. He's teething and likes to chew on everything right now. His separation anxiety is very mild; he cries for a little bit when left alone, then gets over it pretty quickly. He's getting the hang of the leash and responds to correction pretty quickly. His cuddle bug level is medium; he loves a good snuggle but also likes his independent time. He is polite when greeting humans. He very gently asks for "uppies" when his paws get uncomfy in the cold. He is very gentle about it, and I think this would be corrected easily as he gets older. He is very comfortable in a crate; he knows the command "crate" and lies down in it with no problem."
