Story
Rolo is a very obedient and well trained dog. He loves most all people (except he's scared of the delivery men and runs away after he barks a couple times to let you know they are coming.) and loves being loved by people. Rolo is content spending lots of time indoors and does not pee or poop in the house even when he is inside for long periods of time. We usually keep Rolo outside most of the day as he seems to enjoy that as well. Rolo loves sleeping in his crate and likes spending time in the crate as well. Rolo is a young 13 years old and still enjoys being somewhat active with light running around and taking walks. We feel he has several more good somewhat active years left in him. We are needing to rehome Rolo as we do lots of traveling for long periods of time and Rolo gets anxious and does not like it when we are gone for many days on end and it has become unfair to him. He would love a home where he gets lots of attention.

Hi, my name is Claire and I am a senior Border Collie. I used to live on a farm with other dogs and animals but my owner passed away. I am now in foster care with S.A.F.E. Animal Haven. I met my BFF here at my foster home and would really like a forever home for the 2 of us! My BFF is Pointer and he is on this website too! I am housebroken, leash trained and generally a good girl. I like to do my own thing and I enjoy playing with Pointer. If you have room for 2, please consider giving Pointer and myself a forever home. You can find an application at safeanimalhaven.org. Pointer is the little one in the picture with me - he has spots.November 5, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
Zoey is approximately 10 years old, and shes the very definition of a good girl. Her health is excellent&fully up to date on all vaccinations, and shes been a regular at both the vet and the groomer, always impressing everyone with her calm and loving demeanor. Shes the kind of dog that people remember because she radiates kindness and sweetness. Zoey is incredibly smart and responsive to commands, and shes happiest when shes with her humans, whether that means curling up on the couch for a movie night or quietly resting by your side while you work or read. Shes low-maintenance in terms of exercise&while she enjoys sniffing around the yard or going for a gentle stroll, shes more than content to head back in for a cozy nap. She would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home with no young children or babies. Zoey gets frightened around small kids, which is why, with heavy hearts, we are seeking a new home that better suits her comfort and needs.

Grizzly is an amazing farm dog. He LOVES outside, playing fetch. He's extremely affectionate with all people. 2 of our other dogs have turned on him and have attacked him. I am only trying to rehome him because Im afraid for his safety. I only say that he is not good with other dogs because I think he is traumatized by being bullied by the other dogs. Please help me find a loving home for him. He is the best and deserves to live a life not in fear

Story
Meet Autumn! Autumn is 27 pounds of pure personality, waiting to be your new best friend! Autumn is approximately 1 year old and is slowly learning the finer things in life, like a warm dog bed and trusting her human friends! Autumn is quite fearful around humans still and is learning to trust day by day. In the short time that she’s lived with her foster, she’s gone from completely shut down to becoming her little shadow (from a distance). At this point in Autumn’s decompression journey, she wants to be in the same room as you and will even jump up on the couch or human bed if you’re quiet, but move too quickly and she’ll go back to her dog bed where she can keep a watchful eye on you! Despite her fears, Autumn has never shown an ounce of aggression and she’s mastered the ability to look deep into your soul and you can just tell that with more time and patience, she is ready to fully trust someone! Autumn is potty trained, loves walks, and adores other pups — loves a good game of chase, a cuddle session, and is even happy to share her toys. She is most at ease when another dog is around and would do best in a home with another dog, or an experienced adopter who realizes she may take a bit more time to open up without a dog friend around! Given that Autumn is still building his trust with people, she needs a patient adopter willing to invest the time and energy in her development, at her pace. Her improvement in her foster home thus far shows just how ready she is to find her forever! In full disclosure, this is not a girl who comes brewery, art festival, youth sports tournament ready. Autumn should be considered a flight risk at first and let outside with a long lead and double leashed when walked. She may be low maintenance in the house, but she should always be watched near exit points and is not yet a dog that will come when called! Autumn needs a family with patience, love, and understanding as she navigates life outside of the shelter. She’s still figuring out the world, so brain games and gentle encouragement will help boost her confidence. If you’re up for a challenge, with a huge reward at the end, Autumn may be your girl! --- To apply to adopt, please follow the steps for adoption on HalfwayThereRescue.com/Adoption-Process and apply directly here: https://fs26.formsite.com/htrnp/a2k3lsooud/index.html

These pups are in Charlotte, North Carolina too!

Story
Hi, my name is Zara! I am a beautiful gray and white 3-year-old Australian Shepherd Poodle mix. While ladies typically don’t disclose their weight, I am about 50 lbs. If you are a smart and active person or couple looking to adopt a dog with a similar temperament, then we could be a great match! I love going for walks and would appreciate having someone who can incorporate that into my daily routine. Getting outside for exercise is something I enjoy, and I would also make an excellent running companion. Visiting the park or going on hikes would be a lot of fun, too! Not to brag, but I believe I'm quite a looker, and I’m confident that if you took me to the park, we would make lots of friends together. While I love people, I am not used to being around other dogs, so a dog park wouldn’t be suitable for me. However, I’m always up for hanging out where the people are! I’m also a bit too energetic for young children; I sometimes forget that I'm bigger than they are and might accidentally knock them over. It would be wonderful if someone in the household could work from home, as I am crate-trained but don't like spending long hours alone. I thrive on human interaction and am seeking a loving home.  I promise to return your love! If you would like to be considered for my forever family, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com. Please note that an approved application and adoption fee are required. (I am currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)    July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm

Story
Stella is a friendly and intelligent dog with plenty of energy. We want her to be happy and have a space where she can run around and play with other dogs. Previously, Stella lived in the mountains of Colorado, where she enjoyed a large fenced yard and had lots of friends to play with. Now, she is living in a townhouse without a yard, which has been challenging for her. As a very active young lady, she is currently feeling unhappy. Stella is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever, and she is expected to weigh around 30 pounds. She is a loving and eager-to-learn dog who picks up new skills quickly. Stella would be an amazing agility dog, as this would engage both her mind and her need for physical activity. If agility training isn't your interest, she would also thrive in an active lifestyle with an avid walker, hiker, or runner.  Stella is a very quick learner and was immediately fully potty trained.     To ensure the best for Stella, her new owners should have a yard or live on a farm, and it would be great if they have another dog and children.  Stella has plenty of energy to add playing at home to her list of activities.    Stella has been spayed and is current on all her shots until May 2026.  To be considered for her forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Stella is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)  July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm

Story
  Meet Miss Kitty – A Heart Ready to Bloom   Miss Kitty’s story is one of transformation, hope, and quiet bravery. This stunning 2-year-old Aussie mix (around 70 lbs) was once part of a large group of neglected dogs—left without love, attention, or hugs daily.  The days of indifference from humans are long behind her. With the help of a kind foster home, Miss Kitty has discovered the beauty of human kindness, human touch and now she’s ready to find a forever family of her own.  In just two months, she’s blossomed from a shy, uncertain girl into a dog who seeks out affection and enjoys the company of people—especially children, who she now happily follows with her tail wagging. She’s gentle with dogs of all sizes and loves running and playing with her friends in open spaces. Cats are still a mystery to her, but she’s learned to coexist respectfully.Miss Kitty is still gaining confidence with new experiences—like walking on a leash and spending time indoors—but her courage grows every day. She’s curious, sweet, and has a heart that’s learning to trust completely. With a little patience and a lot of love, this beautiful girl will reward her forever family with endless devotion and loyalty. If you’re looking to make a difference in a dog’s life and watch a soul truly bloom, Miss Kitty is waiting for you.  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to meet Miss Kitty today!   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.comNovember 18, 2025, 4:58 pm
