Story
🎄 Meet Noelle — a Sweetheart with a Spark! ✨ Noelle is a loving, gentle girl with a calm spirit, but don’t let that fool you—she has a playful streak and isn’t shy about letting you know when she wants attention! Whether it’s a soft cuddle, a happy tail wag, or a little chat to tell you all about her day, Noelle brings warmth and personality to every moment. She loves calm, cozy time, but she also enjoys the occasional playful romp and engaging with her humans in her own talkative, sweet way. Noelle is looking for a home where she can be adored, appreciated, and included in all the quiet—and sometimes silly—moments life has to offer. If you’re ready for a sweet, playful, and chatty companion, Noelle is waiting to be your perfect furry friend! ❤️🐾 Noelle is in our Mutts with Manners in facility training program. This program to give our long-term residents more enrichment and a chance to truly shine outside the shelter—showing who they are beyond the cards that they have been dealt. Noelle is a bronze star meaning she knows the basic commands but still needs work in mastering them!

Story
Winnie is an almost 2 year old border collie and Australian shepherd mix weighing ~30 lbs. She currently lives in a home with another dog, cat, and a 5 year old child - all of which she has done wonderful with. She has gone through professional training and is very smart, active and aims to please. She’s great to walk, loves to play with her flirt pole and tug toys, and play with her animal and human siblings! Winnie would do best with an active person, couple or family who likes to be outside and can spend time with her “working” and playing into her natural instincts. She has never once shown signs of aggression towards another animal, adult or child. Winnie does have some anxiety specifically in the car. She needs someone who can be calm to help her work through this. Although she has a lot of energy, she does have an “off button”. She can be very sweet and cuddly and hop right in your lap. Our family is unexpectedly growing, and we have make the difficult decision to rehome her.

Border Collie Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Charlotte, NC

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.

REX

Border Collie Corgi

Male, Young
Charlotte, NC
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
Luna is a gorgeous blue merle Mini Aussie (~27 lbs, 7 yrs) with a striking blue crescent moon in her brown eyes and fluffy coat. She has been with us since age 1. She is smart, loving, and full of life. Highly intelligent, she needs mental work or a job to stay balanced and happy. Affectionate, relaxed after exercise, great with people, excellent at boarding, shines at dog parks, and loves frisbee catch. Fully vaccinated with solid obedience training. As a herding breed, she has protective instincts and may nip/herd when stressed. She thrived on our half-acre but struggles with younger kids in our blended family, with a few minor bites in high-stress moments. She would excel in a calm home with older kids (or none), experienced herding-breed owners, plenty of space, and purpose (herding, agility, hikes, tasks). We adore her and want her to have her happiest life. Would love to get updates/photos for our 12-year-old girls. Perfect for an active, experienced owner with space.
