Story

Richie ' Sambora ' is what this Border Collie mix puppy should be called because he is so handsome and extra charming. Born around April 1st, 5 months ago from 9/1, his mom was a 40 pound girl with 4 puppies who were all left outside in the harsh heat while their owner went on vacation. No food, no water was left behind. Soon Animal Control was there to take the sweet dogs in to the shelter for relief and care. Richie is 25 pounds and a very special boy. He has very special eye coloring that gives him two different colored eyes that make him absolutely unforgettable. This boy Richie has already figured out that those beautiful eyes have a way of melting hearts. Look out ladies, this handsome boy knows exactly how to turn on the charm and if he played guitar like Sambora does with Bon Jovi, he would be dangerous. But underneath those gorgeous eyes is a sweet puppy who is learning that humans can be trusted and that life can be pretty wonderful. He is almost housebroken, crate training is successful and he is good with all other dogs and cats as well. We expect him to the same weight range as his momma, 40 pounds. He is happy and curious and playful. Working on his leash skills and he has had a great deal of guidance from his foster persons that have helped him the past few weeks. If you would like to adopt this happy young pup please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com Mention where you live. A fence would be an ideal situation for this boy to run free and with total safety to hang outside for hours. 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.comAugust 31, 2026, 9:49 pm

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,

Story

Meet Woody, our sweet Labradoodle puppy with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He’s a very loving dog who enjoys playing with toys, being outside, and spending time with people. Woody is potty trained, has basic obedience skills, and walks well on a leash once he understands you’re the leader. He’s full of energy and thrives with attention and activity. As much as we care about him, our family’s busy work schedules mean he spends more time in his crate than he deserves. Between work, kids, and daily routines, we haven’t been able to give Woody the active lifestyle and consistent engagement he needs. He would do best in a home that has more time for play, and outdoor fun. Woody is a good dog and companion who just needs the right environment where his energetic personality and affection can truly shine.If you aren't able to pay the rehoming fee we can discuss further better options, as well as in state or out of state delivery or transportation.
