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 17, 2026, 8:05 pm

Story
I’m hoping I can rehome him with a nice, loving and active owner! He loves hard chew toys, walks, rubs and car rides, the beach. Can be skittish around new people and dogs. Needs to be walked or he will explore. I work a lot and I’m not able to give him the time he needs unfortunately. He knows direction if you point and tell him, he knows excuse me, sit, no, kisses, stop, good boy, potty, poop, pee, water, come here and eat, bed, go, outside, go for a walk. He’s very smart! He comes to “handsome, Mackey, Max, Big Boy, Pumpkin” He likes paper of any kind! He can’t eat bones nor hard jerky because he swallows them whole from excitement. 34 pounds small/medium size. Loves being brushed. Doesn’t like getting his nails cut nor bathe lol. Would recommend brushing twice a week.
