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 training program! This program gives our 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 blue star meaning she has just entered the program and is working on basic commands as well as leash manners!

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.

Story
Rockstar Ms. Riley Ray didn’t get her name by accident — she earned it with heart, resilience, and a spirit that refuses to fade. This stunning 8-year-old purebred Border Collie has lived a life that didn’t quite match the energy she was born with. Adopted as a puppy by a loving older couple, Riley grew up surrounded by affection but very little structure. Long days indoors, extra bites of fast food and table scraps, and almost no exercise slowly took a toll. By the time her elderly parents entered nursing care, Riley had reached an unhealthy 81 pounds — a heavy weight for a dog meant to run free. Critter Cavalry Rescue stepped in and promised Riley and the family that her story wouldn’t end there. Since arriving, she has begun her comeback tour. Beneath the extra pounds is the bright, athletic, ball-obsessed girl she was always meant to be. Riley lives for fetch. The moment a ball appears, her eyes light up and her whole body comes alive. It’s as if she’s saying, “This is who I really am.” She is affectionate, loyal, incredibly smart, and still has so much joy and drive left to give. Riley is searching for an active home that understands Border Collies and will help her continue her health journey. She doesn’t want to sit on the sidelines anymore — she wants to run, chase, play, and finally live the life her breed was built for. Her past may have slowed her down, but it never dimmed her spark. Now she’s ready for the next chapter, one filled with movement, purpose, and a human who will see the Rockstar she truly is.  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested 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.comJanuary 30, 2026, 7:07 pm

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
THIS IS AN OUT OF STATE PET THAT CAN BE TRANSPORTED TO HUNTERSVILLE NC. Hi, I’m Diesel! I’m a gentle sweetheart with the softest heart and the cutest habit, if you sit down near me, I’ll happily roll right over and offer my belly for rubs. It’s my favorite way to say “I trust you.” I love people and thrive on affection. I can be a little shy when meeting other dogs at first, but I warm up with patience and reassurance and do well once I’m comfortable. I did great spending time with Axel another shelter pup and continue to build confidence every day. I’m looking for a loving home where I can feel safe, cherished, and included as part of the family. If you’re searching for a calm, affectionate companion who will soak up every bit of love you give, I might just be your perfect match. I am currently a part of the Direct to Adopt Program in Austin TX. If have a committed adopter or foster, I can be transported to The Shelter Pet Adoption Center inside Petco located in Huntersville, NC (10017 Biddick Lane, Huntersville, NC 28078) on February 12th, 2026. Interested in meeting me or learning more? Please reach out to my team at NCTeam@austinpetsalive.org or call (704) 266-3647.

Hi, I’m Hailey 🐶💛 I’m a 5-year-old calm and gentle girl who really enjoys the simple things in life. I walk nicely on a leash and love getting outside to take in the fresh air, whether it’s a relaxing stroll or just spending time in the sunshine. I also wanted to add that I am housetrained which I know is a huge plus! When my outdoor time is done, I’m more than happy to settle in and cuddle on the couch with you. I’m affectionate without being overwhelming, and I’m great at matching your pace—adventure when it’s time, relaxation when it’s not. I have a peaceful, easygoing personality and would fit beautifully into a home that appreciates a loving companion who’s happy just being by your side. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who enjoys both outdoor time and cozy cuddles, I might just be your girl. 🐾💙 I am currently in a foster home and very much available! If you are interested in meeting me, email ncteam@austinpetsalive.org or call (704) 266-3647.

Pistachio

Australian Shepherd

Male, 1 yr 3 mos
Huntersville, NC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Pistachio is a one-year-old, medium sized, mixed-breed with a totally mysterious lineage & backstory (he was found as a stray). Whatever his breed mix (maybe some kind of shepherd with all that fluff?), it clearly includes equal parts good looks, goofiness, and friendliness. Personal space? Pistachio’s never heard of it. He loves affection and will happily park himself at your feet, on your lap, or anywhere he can be close to his people. He’d make a great work from home companion. He’s a great car rider so would also enjoy accompanying you on any weekend adventures. When it comes to playtime, Pistachio is wonderfully self-sufficient. He’s tried just about every toy in the bin and can entertain himself, but he also loves a good game of tug or fetch when you’re up for it. Pistachio gets along well with other playful pups (he’s currently fostered with 2 other dogs) and would be thrilled to have a tolerant or equally energetic doggy sibling—or he’ll happily take all your attention as a solo sidekick. He’s the perfect fit for an active person that’s willing to maintain the structure he’s accustomed to and continue working on basic obedience. He’s very food motivated, which makes him easy to train. His foster, who has professional dog training experience, is also more than willing to offer support after adoption as well. Pistachio is UTD on vaccines, kept on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, neutered & microchipped. His adoption fee is $350.
