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.April 30, 2026, 5:57 pm

BUST ME OUT OF HERE! My kennel manners are not great because I would rather be cuddling with you. If you`re looking for a happy, go-lucky guy to add to your family - look no further! I love hanging out with new people and seem to be pretty interested in dog friends as well. I would do best in a house with a nice big yard for me to stretch my legs and any children in my next home should be experienced with big dogs. If you`d like to learn more about me, just ask the Care Team!

Story
Meet Lucca! This large handsome fella here would love the chance to be the newest addition to your family. Lucca is a fairy strong & excitable(but gentle) giant, so he does ask that any children in the home be at least 6 or older as he doesn`t always know his own size. Additionally, while Lucca does have some history with cats & dogs, he will need to meet any other dogs in the home prior to adoption. Please remember to do any introductions with either people or other animals slowly! If you would like to meet this lovely fella or if you have any questions, please speak to our kennel team & they will be happy to assist!

Story
 Looking for a project? I'm your best friend in the making! Hi, I'm Howie, and I'm a big, lovable goofball with a heart of gold. I am all about my people and want nothing more than to be your one-and-only companion, soaking up all the cuddles and attention for myself! When I bond with you, I am fiercely loyal and affectionate, and I'll keep you entertained with my silly antics. I'm seeking a home where I can be the solo star, so a family with no other pets is a must. All my focus and energy is on loving my human, so I'm not looking to share the spotlight. As for my house-training, let's be honest—I'm still learning! My previous life didn't include learning indoor manners, so I need a patient, committed person to show me the ropes. The good news is, I'm highly motivated am eager to please my favorite person. My ideal adopter is someone with a good routine who can dedicate time to my training. A fenced yard would be a huge bonus so we can have plenty of outdoor potty breaks. If you're looking for a loyal shadow and are ready for a fun and rewarding training journey, I'm your guy! Howie is a Boxer mix that is about 5 years old.  He is a loving goof ball that enjoys people but will do best in a home with older children  He would be the ideal companion for an active family or someone who enjoys a daily run. With his alert, inquisitive nature, he is sure to excel at obedience training. While waiting for his forever home, Howie is located in Greenville, NC Howie is is neutered, up to date on shots, dewormed & also microchipped.  To adopt: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/2602/generic ##1249407##

I can be a little shy at first, but with a little time and patience, I warm up and form a strong bond with my people.

It’s my kind of perfect day.I’ve been living in a foster home with children and have done well with them, as long as everyone takes things at my pace. I do best with slow, positive introductions to new people so I can feel safe and comfortable.I’m looking for a home that will give me a little time to settle in and show my true self. In return, I’ll be a deeply devoted companion who will love you like no other.If you’d like to meet me, please email PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV.

Meet Calista! Polite, sweet, affectionate, well-mannered - all words that our volunteers have used to describe Calista. She is a wonderful leash walker and very polite to whoever has her leash. Calista is gentle with treats and toys alike and loves to play fetch with squeaky, soft toys. She has great behavior toward other dogs and would do well with a companion. Give her belly rubs and booty scratches and she will love you forever!
