Story

When you hear the name LIAM.... I bet you think of the versatile and very talented movie star LIAM NEESOM.  Well I would like to think that I am just like him!   Handsome, strong, a caretaker,  fast to act and a dog to be taken 'seriously'.  My momma was a red and white Aussie girl who was a stray and so we think she had a few momma daddys in her litter.  I must have taken after my dad.   But I can tell you that I have my Momma's soft and longish fur and I have the temperament of a loving dog.   My date of birth is February 4th of 2024.  I was born to a litter of 13 puppies after my momma gave birth and 11 of us survived.  That is a  WHOLE LOTTA PUPPIES!   Critter Cavalry provided all the extra birth supplements and made sure our momma had all the nutrients she would need.  I am now a bouncing and beautiful girl that plays for long hours and then crashes in a napping position.   Handsome Liam is marked with a handsome golden fur color with a gorgeous black mask that will make him the envy of the neighborhood forever.  If you would love to have this  boy become a part of your life and family the first of May, please email us 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.  April 15, 2024, 7:36 pm

Story

This adorable pup is Robin. She is 3-months-old and we think she is a border collie mix. Robin currently weighs 15 lb so we expect she will be about 40-45 lb full grown. The foster says "Robin is doing well! She is 99% housetrained and sleeps through the night, but not in a crate. She gets along great with our big dog. Robin rides well in the car and has slept through every one of my kids' sporting events on my lap. Robin loves toys, listens well and is an absolute cuddle bug." Robin is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated for age, healthy and ready for adoption now! Her adoption fee is $445. If you would like to meet/adopt Robin, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-forms. Email daws@daws.org if you need assistance or have any questions.
