Story
Ruthie is a 2-year-old, 60-lb Boxer mix with a gentle soul and a brilliant mind. Before coming into rescue, Ruthie lived on her own for at least 6 months, skillfully evading capture, multiple trapping attempts, and surviving in an industrial area of town. Fed by kind mechanics and workers, she learned how to stay safe, avoid danger, and always show up for food — and that intelligence still shines through today. After a dramatic capture, Ruthie has been in a foster home, where she’s proven to be a very polite houseguest. She is fully house-trained and, even at her scariest moments, has never shown a hint of aggression — no growling, no raised lips, just fear. Ruthie is shy and deeply cautious with people, but she is sweet, gentle, and incredibly observant. We would not be surprised if Ruthie spent some of her life in someone’s home.  This brainy girl reads the room like a pro. She knows when a human might approach and will quietly skedaddle to keep herself feeling safe. While she’s still very nervous about leashes and handling, she allows most people to gently scratch her muzzle, and she’s learning — slowly but surely — that human touch isn’t such a bad thing. Watching her progress has been incredibly rewarding, especially as she’s started to enjoy ear scratches and soft affection from her foster mom. Ruthie is a great pack dog. She does beautifully with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and enjoys playful wrestling with dogs her size, but doesn’t demand play.  She happily coexists with the resident Chihuahua in her foster home. Ruthie is calm and content indoors and also enjoys a daily visit to the dog park. She’s a quiet presence who’s perfectly happy lounging on a chair, listening to her foster mom’s Zoom calls, and soaking in the safety of home life. At home, Ruthie is her foster mom’s quiet shadow. She sleeps in her room, wiggles with excitement when she comes home, follows her around the dog park — and yet may still hop off her bed and slip away if that same foster mom walks toward her for a pet. With Ruthie, trust is built in tiny, meaningful moments, and every day brings progress. Because of her history, Ruthie is a high flight-risk dog, especially in the early days. She will need a very committed adopter with a securely fenced yard, experience with fearful or flight-risk dogs, and a willingness to use safety tools like GPS collars, double leashes, and secure handling. Strength matters too — this is a 60-lb girl who needs someone confident and prepared. Ruthie has been around children at the dog park and treats them like little adults — with polite, reserved hesitation. She is food-motivated, sweet, and incredibly smart. With patience, structure, and time, she has all the makings of a truly special companion. Ruthie is one of those dogs who, with the right adopter and a few committed months of trust-building, will become a dream dog. Watching her finally relax, feel safe, and just be a dog has been an absolute privilege — and we can’t wait to see her find the forever home she deserves. ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.February 17, 2026, 10:23 pm

Story
Tender, Timid Grace — A Gentle Soul Ready to Bloom Grace is just beginning to learn what the world has to offer. With very limited life experience, nearly everything feels new — and a little scary — for her. She’s looking for a quiet, patient home with adopters who understand under-socialized or fearful dogs and are committed to letting her move at her own pace. When given time, space, and gentle encouragement, Grace shows just how sweet she truly is. She does best when she’s allowed to observe, sniff, and explore without pressure, building confidence one small step at a time. Beneath her cautious exterior, we believe her goofy, bouncy personality is just waiting for the chance to shine.Grace has lived with other dogs in the past, but her history with children and cats is unknown, so thoughtful introductions and continued guidance will be important as she adjusts and learns about her new world. She will thrive in a calm environment with consistent routines, patient support, and lots of positive reinforcement. With the right family — one ready to celebrate every little victory — Grace has all the potential to blossom into a loving, joyful, and wonderfully loyal companion.Behavior Disclaimer: Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.

Story
I'm Ellie! I love car rides, snuggling, chewing bones, playing ball and walks in the woods. I am very food motivated and eager to learn new things! I'm athletic and can jump short fences so I need a tall enclosure! I love to explore, but when its cold and rainy, I prefer to be inside and cuddle on the couch. I have successfully lived with three indoor/outdoor cats. For two years I lived with another dog, but we recently had to be separated for our happiness. A family member took me in, however, their health is declining and can't care for me forever. I am good on a leash and as long as other dogs keep their distance, I am happy! I'm training to not bark at strangers on walks and need slow introductions with new people. I'm very sweet to people, but I need a household where I can be the only dog, with no kids and an owner who will be patient with my reactivity and anxiety. I'd be the best buddy for someone who lives out in rural Maine who loves to hike and enjoys solitude!
