Story
Current location: Chester, VA Hi, I'm Jean! Let me start by saying that first impressions aren't exactly my strong suit. I'm a little like that person who seems awkward at a party but turns out to be the funniest, most lovable one in the room once you get to know them. When I meet new people, I can be a little shy, and when I meet new dogs, I sometimes get a bit snappy. I know, I know. Not exactly the best way to make friends! But here's the thing: give me a day to settle in, and I'll be everyone's new bestie. Seriously. Once I realize we're friends, we're FRIENDS. Underneath my slightly awkward introduction is an incredibly loving, cuddly, playful girl with a whole lot of personality. I absolutely adore affection and snuggling up with my favorite humans. But don't let my cuddly side fool you. I've also got plenty of energy for playtime. I'm looking for someone who understands that the best friendships aren't always instant. Sometimes a girl just needs a little time to feel comfortable enough to show her true colors. And trust me, once you get past my awkward introduction, you'll discover a sweet, silly, affectionate best friend who will keep you laughing and shower you with love. So what do you say? Give me a chance to make a second impression. I promise it's a whole lot better than my first! Love, Jean

Story
Meet Clay, an adorable little ball of love with a playful personality and a heart full of affection! 🐾❤️ Clay is a sweet, fun-loving puppy who enjoys being close to his people and playing with his furry friends. He has a moderate energy level but sometimes needs a little encouragement to slow down and take a nap! Like any puppy, he's still learning that his tiny shark teeth are better suited for toys than fingers or playmates. Clay is very dog-friendly and loves playing with his foster family's dog. He's learning important puppy manners and responds well to guidance from his canine buddy. This smart little guy already knows how to sit and is very food motivated, which should make training a breeze! He's mostly housebroken and currently working on crate training. Being in a crate is a new experience, but his foster family is helping him learn that it's a safe, comfortable space. Clay is an affectionate, happy puppy with so much love to give! With a little patience, consistency, and plenty of chew toys, he'll make a wonderful addition to a lucky family. 🐶💕

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.October 24, 2026, 5:02 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.

Story
Located in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders. The adoption fee covers the transport fee. Fig is a bit more of the shy one of her litter. She is very friendly and loves to chill with some attention. She gets along with other dogs, but too many can be overwhelming to her. She has had no issues with kids or strangers. She is learning to use a dog door but will need puppy training. She does well in a crate so that might help. She is ready for her forever family.

Story
We adopted Tiny Joe in 2021, and he is a very sweet, loving boy. Due to the recent birth of our baby girl, we unfortunately need to find Tiny his new forever home. He loves to cuddle under blankets, play with his toys, and spend time in the sun. Tiny would do best in a quiet home with no children. He is crate trained, but needs frequent potty breaks. He is fixed and up to date on his shots. He typically does well with other pets.
