Story
There are five adorable puppies in our Primrose litter of 10 week old orphans that have just joined our Connecticut Rescue: Claudia, Eliza, Marius, Primrose and Rayne. All the pups in this litter have gentle temperaments and playful, friendly personalities. Despite the chaotic shelter process, these pups have weathered the storm and show no obvious signs of trauma or neglect.  It appears that the pups’ owner unwittingly facilitated an accidental breeding of unaltered adult housemates and then was overwhelmed by puppy love. She offloaded the puppies to a high kill rural North Carolina Shelter, and we were able to transport them to our place in Canterbury, Connecticut.  We have had the puppies DNA tested, and they are a diverse mix of breeds,but 56% of that mix is Collie. The weight range is projected at 40 to 60 pounds, and their working roots suggest that adopters should be prepared to provide a lot of exercise and mental stimulation.  Any of these pups would be an excellent choice for a savvy Working Breed adopter, willing to commit to ongoing training and socialization. They have taken well to basic puppy Positive Reinforcement training techniques and seem to enjoy the learning process. We seek adopters willing to raise them as Canine Good Citizens.  All of these pups could easily join multi-dog homes with older, playful dogs, tolerant of puppy energy. They would thrive with an active single, couple or family with older kids who have been taught to be gentle with young dogs.  All puppies are in excellent health, fully vaccinated and dewormed. If you are interested in one of our Primrose litter mates, please write to Angelsfrgod@aol.com or call/text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.

Story
Meet Amber, a girl whose name couldn’t be more fitting. Just like the soft glow of amber itself, she radiates warmth, comfort, and a gentle kind of joy that reaches you the moment you meet her. At 2 years old and 65 pounds, this gorgeous Collie mix is the very definition of a loving companion—sweet, affectionate, and always hoping to be close enough for you to feel the steady beat of her loyal heart. Amber’s story began in a tiny rural community, where she wandered alone until kind locals stepped in to help her. No one came forward to claim her, but maybe that’s because her real family is still out there—someone who will recognize that she was meant for them. When Critter Cavalry Rescue brought her in, they immediately saw it: her remarkable intelligence, her eagerness to bond, and her gentle, soulful spirit. Amber enjoys every simple pleasure with pure gratitude—exploring the world on her harness, leaning in for affection, and curling up with her beloved stuffed bunny, who has become her constant companion. She loves being brushed, loves being talked to, and really loves being included. Amber gets along with other dogs, though her enthusiasm may be a bit much for calmer companions. As for cats… well, they’re a little mysterious and intimidating to her. But people? She adores them—wholeheartedly. This beautiful girl is ready to become someone’s heart dog… that once-in-a-lifetime companion who fills a home with warmth, softness, and quiet devotion. If you are looking for a dog who will love you with her whole soul, who will share every moment by your side, and who will glow with gratitude for the rest of her life, Amber may be the one you’ve been waiting for.   If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at 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.November 22, 2025, 9:52 pm

Story
Scooby is a gentle soul with a heartbreaking story. Rescued from the meat trade in China in 2019, he came to ARF carrying the weight of past trauma. While those hardships made him shy and slow to trust, Scooby has always had the biggest heart and the sweetest personality. Shortly after arriving at ARF, Scooby was adopted into a loving home, where he thrived. Sadly, after the unexpected loss of his favorite person, Scooby has returned to ARF and is once again looking for a place to call home. Scooby is slowly coming out of his shell. When you go to take him outside, he makes soft, expressive noises, communicating his readiness. Once outside, he absolutely lights up; walks are his happy place, and they help him feel brave and confident. He’s especially confident walking alongside other dogs, with whom he’s very friendly. Scooby will thrive in a calm, patient home with a securely fenced yard and no young children. He may benefit from a gentle canine companion to help guide him. He isn't a fan of being hovered over, but with time, patience, and love, Scooby will open up and show you just how special he truly is. If you can offer Scooby the space and patience to blossom, he may just be your perfect match! Interested in fostering Scooby? Visit our foster page to complete a foster application.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application  HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: approx. 8 months (as of 12/4/25) Weight: approx. 31 pounds (as of 12/10/25) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.   Meet the remarkable Rhett! This eight month old Collie/Lab mix is sweet, smart and playful. We’re absolutely enchanted with his handsome little face and those big, floppy ears. Rhett wants his future family to know that he’s working hard to learn new skills, so he can be the best boy in his new home! He just started leash training and walks pretty calmly. He’s also crate trained and doesn’t mind car rides. The early stages of potty training are going very well. He’s a bit jumpy, but that’s normal and can be easily corrected with training. He just can’t help how excited he is to see you! Rhett dreams of finding a loving family that’s committed to training, daily exercise and positive reinforcement of good behavior. He’s a star student, so we’re confident that training will be a worthwhile and enjoyable experience for him and his family. It takes a lot of time and patience to bring up puppies like Rhett, but the love they give back is so worth it. Could Rhett be the newest addition to your fur-ever family? Submit an application today and let him know you’re interested!   An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.

Story
Available in TX Meet Louise, the lovable Collie mix with a heart as vast as the Texas sky. Rescued from uncertainty, Louise's story is one of resilience and affection. Her gentle nature shines through in her unwavering love for people; she craves affection and thrives on human touch. But it's not just people she adores-her heart extends to every canine companion she meets, finding joy in playful romps and tail-wagging friendships. Louise's loyalty knows no bounds; she sticks close to her family, her unwavering devotion evident in her excellent recall skills. House and kennel trained, she's a model of canine etiquette. Yet, her past shadows linger, and she seeks solace in the company of other dogs, finding comfort and confidence in their presence. Her journey to healing is ongoing, as she learns to navigate the world she was once isolated from as a puppy. Long hours confined would dampen her spirits, but with the warmth of a loving family and the companionship of other furry friends, she blossoms. Currently fostering in the heart of Seguin, Texas, Louise awaits a forever home where her sweet soul can truly shine, reminding us all of the transformative power of love and second chances. She is house-trained, microchipped, fully vaccinated, & spayed. She is being fostered in Seguin, TX and is ready for her new home. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link. To apply directly for Louise click the Apply for Adoption button. https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/FODS-A-389. All our dogs come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petcademy's team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle your new family member into your home.
