Story

Meet Artsy Marcy – A Survivor with a Brilliant Mind and an Even Bigger Heart Artsy Marcy is a beautiful Border Collie mix, around 2 years old and weighing 55–60 pounds. Her life began with unimaginable hardship, yet she has never let her past define her. It is believed that Marcy and her siblings were abandoned in a remote rural area of Tennessee. While trying to survive on their own, tragedy struck when they were hit by a train. Her sister did not survive, and Marcy was left with a severely dislocated hip. Thanks to a compassionate foster who refused to give up on her, Marcy received the surgery and care she desperately needed. Today she has only a slight limp—a small reminder of just how far she has come. Marcy is everything you would expect from a Border Collie mix: incredibly intelligent, observant, athletic, and eager to be part of whatever her people are doing. She loves hiking, exploring, and would thrive in an active home where she can exercise both her body and her mind. She has a natural herding instinct and enjoys having a job or purpose. She is wonderful with people and genuinely enjoys human companionship. While she may be a little shy during first introductions, she warms up quickly and forms strong, loyal bonds. Once she trusts you, she is affectionate, devoted, and eager to please. Marcy has lived around cats, but she does have a prey drive, so any home with cats should be experienced and committed to proper introductions and management. She also does well with some dogs but can be selective about her canine companions. Like many intelligent, confident working breeds, she appreciates respectful introductions and clear leadership. She would do best with an adopter who understands Border Collie personalities and will provide consistent structure, training, and outlets for her energy. Marcy isn't looking to be just another dog lying quietly in the corner. She is looking for someone who will appreciate her intelligence, celebrate her spirit, and give her the freedom to be the amazing Border Collie mix she was born to be. Against all odds, this remarkable girl survived when she easily could have been another forgotten statistic. Now she deserves the happy ending she has fought so hard for. If you'd like to learn more about Artsy Marcy or speak with the foster mom who saved her life, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Could you be the person who gives this extraordinary survivor the forever home she's been waiting for?

Story

Richie ' Sambora ' is what this Border Collie mix puppy should be called because he is so handsome and extra charming. Born around April 1st, 5 months ago from 9/1, his mom was a 40 pound girl with 4 puppies who were all left outside in the harsh heat while their owner went on vacation. No food, no water was left behind. Soon Animal Control was there to take the sweet dogs in to the shelter for relief and care. Richie is 25 pounds and a very special boy. He has very special eye coloring that gives him two different colored eyes that make him absolutely unforgettable. This boy Richie has already figured out that those beautiful eyes have a way of melting hearts. Look out ladies, this handsome boy knows exactly how to turn on the charm and if he played guitar like Sambora does with Bon Jovi, he would be dangerous. But underneath those gorgeous eyes is a sweet puppy who is learning that humans can be trusted and that life can be pretty wonderful. He is almost housebroken, crate training is successful and he is good with all other dogs and cats as well. We expect him to the same weight range as his momma, 40 pounds. He is happy and curious and playful. Working on his leash skills and he has had a great deal of guidance from his foster persons that have helped him the past few weeks. If you would like to adopt this happy young pup please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com Mention where you live. A fence would be an ideal situation for this boy to run free and with total safety to hang outside for hours.

Story

Location: Gloucester, VARemember Drama? He has been posted here for a while now and we have no idea why some smart person has not scooped him up by now! He is the best boy ever...always a smile, yes, a real smile on his face, friendly without being overwhelming, gives the best sloppy kiss but will stop if you ask. Walks well on leash, does well in public, likes everyone and everything. He lived easily with other dogs in his previous home. So! In order to see what we could find out, we did a DNA test on him. We found out he is a man of surprises. He is a combination of 6 breeds, all pretty evenly shared. Among them, Border Collie, Am Staff, Pit, Bernese Mountain Dog and Mastiff. He has the best qualities of each breed! So, if you always thought you would like a pack of dogs, well! Here he is, all in one great dog! He enjoys exercise and walking so could use a strong human to help him get used to a new home, he loves all children and gives kisses easily Please consider meeting this handsome fella. He will fill your life with happy times, and cuddles on the couch after a nice long walk! To set up a meet and greet please contact Joyce at 757-376-8360 call/text or email at emersonjoyce76@outlook.com. Thanks for helping a homeless dog.

Story

Leo is a healthy 9-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix looking for an active home. We adopted him as a puppy in 2017, he's been the best dog, but our lives have changed with young kids and he deserves more time and exercise than we can give him.He's a velcro dog in the best way. Off-leash he's a star: stays close, scouts ahead on trails, checks in constantly, comes immediately when called. Fully house-trained, crate-trained, good on a leash. Smart, attentive, easy to live with.Great with kids (lives with ours) and friendly with other dogs. His favorite thing is chasing his blue ball, he'll do it for hours. He'd thrive with an active adult, retiree, runner, or hiker who's been wanting a working-breed companion without the puppy years.Up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped, no health issues. Message us! Happy to talk, share vet records, and set up a meet-and-greet.
