Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Barrett (TX) is a male terrier mix rescued in Texas. Our veterinary partner estimates that Barrett is 2 months old at the time of intake in April 2025. Barrett was surrended by her family at such a young age.. and then while at the shelter, got attacked by a bigger dog!  RDR gave him the medical attention he needed to start his healing process. Now all he needs is love and attention from his forever family!If you can give Barrett that forever home, please apply online to adopt Barrett (TX) at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org.RDR's adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter/microchip at an RDR-approved facility, whether completed before adoption or if deferred because the pet is too young or has a medical issue.  All pets are also current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 4, 2025, 1:13 am

Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie

Story
This dog is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $200 if picked up in TN, $275 plus transport fee for out-of-state adoptions. Meet Lorelai — a bright, affectionate, and endlessly fun-loving companion who's looking for a home as energetic and full of life as she is! At 41 lbs, this joyful girl may be listed as 4 years old by the shelter, but she brings the playful spirit and curiosity of a much younger pup. With a colorful mix of breeds in her DNA, Lorelai’s unique personality shines through in everything she does — from her boundless enthusiasm for playtime to her heartwarming snuggles when the day winds down. Lorelai is a smart and active girl who thrives on structure and connection. She’s highly motivated and picks up on routines quickly, often learning by watching the other dogs in her foster home. She knows “sit” well and is currently working on “stay,” “shake,” and polite greetings (she’s just  so  excited to meet you, sometimes she forgets not to jump!). She’s also fully house-trained and lets you know when it’s time to go out by heading to the door or giving a little bark. When it’s time to settle, Lorelai happily heads to her crate, especially when there’s a delicious meal or a stuffed Kong waiting for her. She’s great in the car and walks nicely on leash, adjusting quickly to new experiences with a little patience and encouragement. Lorelai absolutely loves having toys to chew and play with, and when she’s not romping around with her doggy friends, you’ll often find her curled up with a soft stuffed toy for a good cuddle. Social and affectionate, Lorelai is wonderful with people and other dogs, making her an ideal family dog or a great match for a single person or couple ready to invest time and love into an active new best friend. While she’s not a fit for homes with livestock, she does great in just about every other setting — especially if there’s room to run and people to play with. At the end of the day, after all the zoomies and play sessions, Lorelai turns into a snuggly lovebug, ready to curl up on the couch or in bed with her human for some well-earned relaxation. She’s the perfect mix of energy and heart — a companion who will keep you moving, keep you laughing, and fill your life with unconditional love. Are you ready to meet the sweetest, silliest new member of your family? Lorelai can’t wait to meet you!  Interested in adopting?

THIS PET IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE! We do list and adopt our pets nationwide. Typical transport cost to the Northeast is $180. Due to interstate adoption regulations, we are not able to adopt to RI and MA state residents. A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue and Fixin' Inc.) http://aarf-tn.com/ is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) no kill animal rescue organization located in the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee. A.A.R.F. is comprised of unpaid volunteers and survives only on public donations. Thank you for thinking adoption first! Prior to adoption, all canines and felines are spayed or neutered, have received their age appropriate vaccinations, have been de-wormed for common parasites, and have received treatment for prevention of fleas and ticks. All canines over the age of 6 months have been tested for heartworm. All canines are put on heartworm prevention as soon as possible - this means dogs as soon as they are tested negative. Puppies are put on prevention immediately. All felines, regardless of age, have been tested for Feline Leukemia/FIV. Each animal receives a health check by a licensed veterinarian prior to adoption. Anything else found will be treated by our organization prior to adoption. May 3, 2025, 10:58 pm

Story
  Lady Vanilla is one of the most beautiful and lucky former breeder dogs on the planet.  This 10 pound, 5 year old beauty was found in a disgusting garage with other female Miniature Poodles, living in total neglect and almost unidentifiable as to their gender due to the matted fur.  Her coloring is cream with light brown spots that is so soft and pretty.   After being shaved down her blue eyes stand out even more and as her fur is starting to come back in so clean and fresh, she just dances through life with a joy and freedom to really live in comfort.  Sweet and Loving are the two best words to describe Lady Vanilla. This 5 year old Miniature Poodle is thriving in her foster home. She is slowly gaining much needed weight and is working hard on perfecting her potty training .  For years she has lived in kennel and crate with no outside experiences.  This girl is everyone’s friend, dogs and humans.  She has even started playing with the other dogs and toys and it is so precious!!! When she first arrived she had no interest in toys. She has now picked out a stuffie she likes to throw around and she is becoming playful puppy she never had the chance to be. Of course Lady Vanilla loves being outside for the first time in years.  She is learning leash manners.  Her favorite thing is your attention and to place her front paws on your knee to get pets and hugs.  Her soulful eyes tell how much she wants to be loved and give love.  If  you are wanting to make this girl’s life a dream resurrection, please write to us at Critter Cavalry Rescue,   ccrnewengland@gmail.com   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.comMay 3, 2025, 8:46 pm

Shiba Inu

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Lexi is a purebred Shiba Inu. She’s extremely smart but extremely stubborn. She has bit me but not breaking skin more of a nip I guess .. she’s extremely protective over food and anything she deems hers. If she brings it in her cage she acts aggressive while in there. She’s semi food aggressive as in some days she’s completely fine and other days she’s not. She loves kids and wants to lick them and climb all over them but would make me nervous with little kids that could pull on her. She likes to play fetch. Sometimes is snuggly. She’s only ever been around our elderly shepherd and she’s pretty rough with him when playing but gives it back. Has not been around other dogs so I don’t know how she would be have. We do feed her separately. She is crate trained and likes her crate
