Story
Luke came from a rural shelter where he was surrendered.  He is 8 yrs old and has been chained most of his life- he has a permanent bald ring around his neck from the chain.  Despite that, he is a sweet boy who is learning to be an inside dog.  He is learning to calm himself by going into his crate when he feels overwhelmed.  He has taken a great liking to his foster dad and will get into his lap to calm himself.  Luke will be starting heart worm treatment soon and will be available at the end of the treatment.  He needs a 6 ft privacy fenced and a family with older respectful kids as he can be too much for little ones when he gets the zoomies.  We don't think he would be good with cats because he shows too much interest in those outside.  He needs a family who is willing to be patient with him and show him what a loving family is and one who will always take good care of him.  If you are looking for a sweet boy who desperately wants to be part of someone's family and are willing to be patient and love him unconditionally, please contact Rainbow Rescue at :  rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.com or call at 757-472-1583July 6, 2026, 12:14 am

Story
Meet Celia ❤️ foster Virginia Beach Celia is a breathtaking 9-year-old Rough Collie with the gentle heart and sweet soul the breed is known for. She spent her younger years lovingly raising puppies, and she has been cherished throughout her life. Through no fault of her own, she now finds herself looking for one final family to love her through her golden years. Simply put, there isn't a bad thing we can say about Celia. She is everything people hope for in a Collie and more. Gentle, affectionate, impeccably mannered, and endlessly kind, she still turns heads everywhere she goes. She has never met a stranger and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Celia is completely house trained, walks beautifully through the home, and loves spending time with her family. She enjoys the company of both large and small friendly dogs but does not require a canine companion to be happy. Despite living with arthritis, she still happily jaunts around the backyard, enjoys exploring the yard, and soaks up the sunshine. She is currently comfortable on Tramadol along with joint supplements to help manage her pain. Because of her orthopedic needs, Celia is looking for a one-level home with a securely fenced yard where she can safely enjoy her outdoor time. Children should be 5 years of age or older so she can enjoy a peaceful retirement without being treated as a playmate for toddlers. As a Rough Collie, Celia's beautiful coat requires lifelong maintenance. Applicants should be able to provide a grooming reference demonstrating regular professional grooming for their current or previous dogs. Celia also needs a patient groomer who understands senior dogs and is willing to work at her pace, allowing her to lie down and rest as needed during grooming appointments. Celia is currently being fostered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and preference will be given to applicants in Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads area, with particular priority given to families located in Virginia Beach. If you've been searching for that once-in-a-lifetime Collie who asks for nothing more than love, comfort, and a soft place to rest her head, Celia is waiting to meet you. She has spent her entire life giving love. Now it's her turn to simply receive it. ❤️🐾 Please email us with questions before sending an application you will need to be given a code in order to bypass the application fee Coastalsheltierescue@gmail.com

Story
💙🩵 Meet Emmy 🩵💙 Free at last. Thank God... I'm finally free. That could very well be the song playing in Emmy's heart. This stunning 6-year-old Blue Merle Rough Collie has left her past behind and is ready to begin the happiest chapter of her life. Despite what she has endured, Emmy has never let it harden her heart. She greets the world with kindness, gentleness, and hope. There truly isn't a bad thing we can say about Emmy. She is beautiful, affectionate, incredibly sweet, and an absolute joy to live with. 🐾 House trained 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Wonderful on a leash 🐾 Loves other dogs 🐾 Excellent house manners 🐾 Gentle and kind with everyone she meets Emmy came to us with injuries after living in an abusive home, but we are thrilled to say she has made a full recovery and is ready to embrace life. Best of all, she has not lost her trust in people. She loves both women and men and is ready to give her whole heart to the family who chooses her. 🏡 Emmy's ideal home ❤️ Securely fenced yard required 🐶 A friendly canine companion would be wonderful since she truly enjoys the company of other dogs, although it is not required. 👧 Children should be 5 years of age or older and understand how to respectfully interact with dogs. Emmy is not a climbing toy or a pillow for little ones, and she deserves a home where her gentle nature is respected. 📍 Emmy is being fostered in Portsmouth, Virginia. There are no distance restrictions for Emmy's adoption. We are happy to consider wonderful homes wherever they may be. However, adopters must travel to Portsmouth, Virginia to meet and adopt her. ✨ To help Emmy find the perfect forever family, we are waiving the adoption application fee. Simply send us a Facebook message and email us to receive the application code that will waive the fee. Coastalsheltierescue@gmail.com Every dog deserves a second chance. Emmy deserves a lifetime of love. She has survived. She has healed. Now she is ready to live the life she was always meant to have, surrounded by kindness, safety, and unconditional love. Free at last. 💙🐾 and waiting for her forever love.

Story
Every now and then, life presents you with a math problem.For example:Young couple + tiny apartment + one young, energetic dog = "Aww!"Young couple + tiny apartment + TWO young, energetic dogs = "Whew!"Young couple + tiny apartment + two young, energetic dogs + surprise baby = "Yikes!"That's how Nala and Chili came to Animal Aid Society.Nala and Chili arrived ready to party, but in the sweetest, most respectful way. They're convinced every day is a celebration, but they're also remarkably polite about it. They somehow manage to be bouncy and gentle, playful and snuggly, zoomy and well-mannered. It's a talent. These one-year-old pups are house-trained, eager to please, and the kind of dogs who make you wonder if someone secretly sent them to charm school.The first thing we do with new dogs is offer toys, because nothing says, "Welcome!" like a mountain of squeaky things.Chili immediately got to work. He'd sprint to the toy pile, grab one, and proudly bring it to us. Then he'd dash back for another. Honestly, it had strong "little boy presenting his mom with dandelions he found in the yard" energy.Nala took a different approach. She inspected the toy pile with the concentration of someone shopping for the world's most important avocado. Nothing less than perfection would do. Finally, she found The One, gently picked it up, and brought it over so we could all play together.Nala and Chili are NOT siblings, and they are NOT a bonded pair. They can absolutely be adopted separately and will do wonderfully.But...If you've ever thought, "I wish my dog had a best friend to chase around the yard, entertain each other while I'm working, and occasionally remind me that joy is free," well, here's your chance. They already know how to be excellent roommates.Adopt one. Adopt both if your lifestyle has room for twice the wagging, four times the entertainment, and approximately 83% fewer guilty feelings if you go out to dinner.Sometimes the best math is letting one dog multiply your happiness. Sometimes it's letting two.Come meet one or both at Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are 9am to noon, daily, including weekends & holidays.Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

Story
   â¤ï¸ Blue Sassy: The Dog Who Still Has So Much Love Left to Give ❤️ Sometimes a rescue story finds you, and before you know it, you’ve become part of a journey that desperately deserves a happy ending. Blue Sassy is a 9-year-old Blue Heeler who spent her entire life with one man who adored her. He raised her from a puppy, and every night she slept beside him. She wasn’t just his dog—she was his comfort, his companion, and his therapy through life’s challenges. A few months ago, her owner reached out to Critter Cavalry Rescue with a heartbreaking request. His health was failing, and he was being forced to move somewhere his beloved dogs could not follow. Through tears, he asked us to help. When Blue Sassy came into rescue, she finally received the veterinary care she hadn’t had in years. During her spay and wellness exam, we discovered she was diabetic. The untreated diabetes had also affected her eyesight, leaving her with limited vision. But here’s the remarkable thing about Blue Sassy… She doesn’t feel sorry for herself. She wakes up every day happy. She greets people with a smile. She loves to explore the yard with her nose leading the way. She loves ear scratches, belly rubs, curling up on the couch, and most of all, sitting in your lap soaking up affection. She still has all the intelligence, confidence, and personality that make Blue Heelers such incredible companions. Her foster family absolutely adores her. Blue Sassy would do best in a home with minimal stairs and easy access to the outdoors for potty breaks. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, loves children, and enjoys being around people. While her vision isn’t perfect, she navigates her world surprisingly well and adapts with the resilience dogs are famous for. Her diabetes is manageable with twice-daily insulin injections, given about 12 hours apart. The insulin itself is affordable, and the injections are quick and easy. Other than her diabetes, her bloodwork and health checks have been excellent. What Blue Sassy needs now isn’t pity. She needs someone who sees beyond a diagnosis and recognizes the loving, loyal, funny, affectionate dog standing right in front of them. At 9 years old, she still has plenty of life to live, plenty of cuddles to give, and plenty of memories left to make. Age is only a number, and Blue Sassy’s heart is as young as ever. Could you be the person who gives this sweet girl the next chapter she deserves? If you’d like to learn more about Blue Sassy, please email ccrtennessee@gmail.com. She has already been someone’s whole world once. We’d love to find her another family to love just as deeply       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.comJuly 19, 2026, 6:58 pm

Story
Meet Fern! Some dogs are simply waiting for a family. Fern is waiting for her people—the ones she'll happily follow through every adventure life has to offer.Fern is an 8-month-old Border Collie mix, born around the middle of November 2025, and currently weighs 29 pounds. She'll likely mature to around 40 pounds—the perfect size for hiking trails, road trips, neighborhood walks, and curling up at your feet after a day well spent.Fern and her identical sister were adopted together as tiny 6-week-old puppies. Unfortunately, their family realized they couldn't give the girls the time, attention, and exercise they deserve. Now Fern is searching for the forever home she's always deserved.This beautiful black-and-white girl has a sweet, easygoing personality and is happiest when she's included in whatever her people are doing. She loves children, enjoys the company of other dogs, and is always ready for a new adventure. She hasn't met cats yet, though she and her sister have been known to chase chickens—something that may disappear once she's no longer teaming up with her mischievous sibling!Like many Border Collie mixes, Fern is happiest when both her body and her mind are engaged. She'll thrive with daily walks, backyard games, hiking adventures, or even dog sports like agility, flyball, or dock diving. She doesn't need a perfect life—just one where she's loved, included, and given opportunities to learn and explore.Imagine having a loyal companion who's waiting by the door when it's time for a walk, riding shotgun on weekend adventures, making your kids laugh in the backyard, and greeting you with a wagging tail after every workday. That's the life Fern is hoping for—and the life she's ready to give back with endless love and devotion.If you're looking for a best friend to share life's adventures, Fern may be the missing piece you've been searching for.To learn more or request an adoption application, email ccrtennessee@gmail.com and be sure to include your city and state. Critter Cavalry Rescue transports to many states throughout the Northeast for approved adopters.

Story
  Looking for a dog who's just as excited about a Saturday morning hike as she is about relaxing at your feet afterward? Meet JoJo!This girl pup is an 8-month-old Border Collie mix with striking black-and-white markings and an even more beautiful personality. At 29 pounds, she's expected to grow to around 40 pounds—a wonderful medium size that's ready to jump into the car whenever adventure calls.Her story started with hope when she and her identical sister were adopted as young puppies. Sadly, their family realized they simply didn't have enough time to meet the girls' needs, so JoJo is getting a second chance to find a home where she can truly thrive. She  is a wonderful blend of playful and easygoing. She loves kids, enjoys other dogs, and is always up for exploring somewhere new. She hasn't been introduced to cats yet, and while she and her sister have had a little too much fun chasing chickens together, we suspect that without her partner-in-crime, she may be much more interested in staying close to her people than stirring up barnyard trouble!As a Border Collie mix, JoJo is smart, athletic, and happiest when life includes activity. Daily walks, games in a fenced yard, hiking, camping, trips to the park, or learning new skills will help her shine. She'd likely have a blast trying agility, flyball, or dock diving alongside her future family.What this girl wants most isn't perfection. She wants someone who sees her as part of the family—a dog who gets to tag along on errands, explore new places, celebrate life's little moments, and always have a place to call home.If you've been thinking your life could use a little more laughter, a walking buddy, a travel companion, and a loyal best friend, JoJo might be exactly who you've been waiting for.   To learn more or request an adoption application, email ccrtennessee@gmail.comand be sure to include your city and state.
