Story
Hi! My name is Pinecone (don’t ask me where that came from). My foster mom says I’m fantastic, but I just do what I do. 🐾 The world is still pretty new to me, so sometimes I get a little startled. But once I know I’m safe, I love to explore. I also like to chase my tail. I’m lucky it’s so long because I WILL catch it someday. I know I’m supposed to go potty outside, but sometimes I just can’t hold it yet! I also know my crate is a safe space, but if I can see you, I’d really rather be with you. I don’t even mind baths. The first time, I wasn’t sure what was happening, so I jumped in to get a better look...and then suddenly I was all wet! My foster mom says I hop around like a bunny, but I’m not sure I know what a bunny is yet. I do know there is no other dog in the oven. I thought there was, but it turns out it was just my reflection. My foster mom could have given me some warning before she opened the oven to prove it, though. So far, I really like humans and dogs of all ages and sizes. The little humans are especially fun! I like being held, and I love being near my people while they do their human stuff. Did you know sending an email can make a whoosh sound? I was a little weirded out by that at first, but I get it now. I’m looking for a family who will help me continue getting to know this big world and teach me all the things I need to know to become the very best boy I can be. Is that you? If so, please apply so we can be together forever. ❤️

Story
Meet Susye — A Young Girl Ready for a Home of Her Own Sometimes the best dogs have the hardest beginnings. Susye’s second chance began when a Nashville Fire Department EMT realized that the homeless woman caring for her would not be leaving the hospital. He could not bear the thought of this young dog being left with nowhere to go, so he brought Susye home and made sure she was safe. For the past three months, Susye has been living with her firefighter foster dad and his four dogs. She has been a happy, peaceful addition to the family and has settled into home life beautifully. She is crate trained when needed, loves using the dog door, and enjoys spending time in the fenced backyard. Now fully vetted and spayed, Susye is turning 8 months old this month and is ready for a forever home with the stability she deserves. She weighs 43 pounds. We believe Susye may be a Feist, Rat Terrier, or Jack Russell Terrier mix, possibly with some herding breed influence. She is bright, active, affectionate, and eager to be part of whatever is happening. Like many young herding and terrier mixes, she will do best with regular exercise, engagement, and continued training. Although Susye adores her foster dog siblings, they are all older. Her foster dad cannot help but think she would especially love a home with a younger, playful dog companion who can match her energy and enjoy growing up alongside her. Her firefighter foster dad also works 12-hour shifts, and caring for five dogs has become more than he can reasonably maintain long-term. Susye is loved and safe, but this was always meant to be her stepping stone—not her final destination. She would thrive with a family that can give her companionship, consistency, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to use her smart young mind. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful, and another playful dog would be a big bonus. Susye has already experienced more uncertainty than any puppy should. Now she is ready for the part of her story where she belongs somewhere for good. 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.September 11, 2026, 8:47 pm

Story
If you are looking for a young, frisky pup who loves to play, Roady would be your new best friend. He could be part boxer or Feist mix with his furrowed brow but leans in like a lab, part heeler perhaps? Whatever the mix, Roady does love the car, travels politely, and would thrive with a daily dog park visit. He has a lot of stamina, runs fast, and enjoys chasing balls. He might do really well with agility training. Roady loves his meals and is working on "sit" to wait for them. He is a bit shy on occasion and it will take time for "come" to be second nature. Roady can get distracted outside as all his senses seem to be on alert. He has especially keen hearing and long distance vision, but does not bark often. He is a gentleman in the house as he is totally housebroken! Roady is still young and learning, loving a chew toy of any kind, especially plastic, so he will need heavy monitoring in a new environment for a bit. He takes calm and firm verbal correction well and is learning "off" and "leave it" commands. Having said that, Roady crates easily and enjoys being in and out of bed during the day on his own. He has done well being confined when adults are out for a couple of hours. Roady gets along well with other medium-sized dogs and follows after his foster brother on walks and visits in the yard. He is a great follower and would love another dog or playmate at home. He does very well on leash. If you are looking for a manageable optimistic, playful dog who can content himself without fuss, Roady will make a wonderful companion for the lucky family that chooses him.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
Rocket Man has been in rescue for quite a long time. Some people think that means there is something wrong with the dog. Not always the case - as with Rocket Man. He is a short, stout fella who loves people. All he wants is to be your buddy - to go on car rides and hikes- and sleep by your side. He has a great personality for being your number 1. He does live with another dog, but he would need to have a meet and greet with any other dogs. Why hasn't he been chosen? We have several ordinary looking dogs who are lingering in rescue. They aren't flashy with beautiful curls or long, fluffy coats and blue eyes. They are just ordinary looking. Don't be fooled by the black or brown dogs. They can be some of the most special personalities out there. All they need is a chance to show off. And that, in a nutshell, is Rocket Man.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Sweet Pea is about 8 months old and is a very sweet little girl looking for her forever home. The couple that brought her in said they found her by the hotel where they were staying. She was so very sweet they didn't want anything to happen to her, so they turned her in. She loves her little bed. She is better with older kids rather than smaller ones. She has been fully vetted and is up to date on all shots, spayed and microchipped. She is all set to go home to her new family. If you are interested in adopting Sweet Pea, please click on the big black button that says, "Ask about me" and we will send you an application.

Story
Current location: York, PA Able to go home: 9/16 🐾 Meet Molly — 6 lbs of PURE CHAOS! 💕 Don’t let my tiny size fool you. I may weigh only 6 pounds, but I have the energy, confidence, and general disregard for personal property of a dog approximately 147 times my size. 😂 My name is Molly, I’m a 6-month-old Chihuahua mix, and I’m officially on a mission to make up for lost time! I had a pretty rough start and was rescued from a domestic violence situation, but you’d never know it by meeting me. I’m a happy, playful little girl who has decided that life is pretty darn awesome. ❤️ I LOVE people. I LOVE other dogs. And toys? Well, toys exist solely for the purpose of being absolutely destroyed. I am an equal-opportunity toy terrorist. Squeakers beware. 🧸💀 I’m basically a tiny tornado with ears. I have approximately 11,000 zoomies per day, and I’m pretty sure every room is my personal racetrack. I’m still working on my house training and manners, because apparently things like “don’t jump on everyone” and “please potty outside” are important rules. Who knew? I’m trying! 😉 What I do know is that I love being with my people, I’m great with other dogs, I’m full of personality, and I’m ready for a family who will give me the safe, happy life I deserve. 6 pounds. 6 months old. 100% personality. 0% boring. If you’re looking for a tiny best friend with a giant heart and just a touch of chaos, Molly would like to speak with you. 💕🐾 Warning: Adoption may result in missing socks, destroyed toys, unexpected zoomies, and an unreasonable amount of puppy kisses.
