Story
Piper is a 12-year-old, 15-pound Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix in need of a new home due to changes in her owner's living situation. She is a very good dog with adults and older children, forming a strong bond with her person and loving to be close. Piper enjoys sitting with you, hanging out, and being part of what’s going on. She’s smart and trainable, knowing a few tricks and loving treats, and she loves playing with her toys—especially stuffed ones. Piper gets along well with other dogs and is easygoing in a calm environment. Piper can be a little nervous when there are fireworks or a storm is coming, but she will let you know when they are coming. She is crate trained and house trained, and she’ll alert you when she needs to go out. Well-mannered on walks, Piper would do well in an adult-only home or in a household with older, respectful children. She’s gentle, easy to care for, and loves relaxing near her person. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-stress companion who thrives on closeness and routine, Piper could be the perfect match. If you think your home would be a good fit for Piper, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name, PIPER TX!   March 7, 2026, 1:56 pm

Story
My name is Bella. I am a fantastic senior! I am about 8.5 and 60ish lbs. I could stand to lose about 5 lbs or so. We think I am best described as a Lab/Collie mix with a bit of Shepherd to round me off. No one is perfect but I am pretty close to it. I am the whole package. I am calm but still have energy to romp in the yard, go on nice strolls and play with some toys. I can go at the pace of whatever family adopts me. I listen nicely and have great house manners. I am very affectionate but not in-your-face. I am playful and a great walking buddy. I am the kind of dog where you feel surprised after 3 days that I haven't lived with you for 3 years. I settle in seamlessly. I am housebroken and have no need for any type of crate. I am great with cats. I also have no animosity towards dogs but I don't need an energetic playful dog in my home. Another settled dog would be fine or I am happy to live with just my people. I am good with kids too and have lived with them previously. I am just amazing! I am located in NJ!

Story
  This darling little Jack Russell boy is a young 18 month male that weighs 20 pounds and is a solid little love of a dog.  His name is Puppa-Doo and he is an owner surrender that we are seeing far too many of lately.   Who doesn't love a bright and happy to be alive Terrier pup that dances when you come home from a long day at the job.  Puppa-Doo is great family dog just waiting to fit right in when you invite him to come home with you!!!   He is housebroken and will go to door to alert you when he needs to go out. That is a huge plus in most family's check list.  He loves to chase the cat for sport and fun and he will of course do a record demolition destuffing of any weak plush toy.  Oh, how he loves to do that.  And then to keep him responding to sounds, a squeaky toy just makes his soul delight and sore to rapid panting and smiles.  He gets super excited when you play throw the squeaky toy. Puppy-Doo also will play fetch and chase if you want and that is perfect for young children who want a playful dog in their life.  At the end of the day and lots playtime, he likes to give kisses and lay on your lap. . He's a door greeter-both inside the house and when a car pulls up.  He adores love and attention and likes to sit and watch TV when you are there watching it with him. . And if you want a bed buddy then please let him crawl right up there next to you i   He is a great protector and will alert you like a doorbell would and barks when he hears a car on the gravel driveway.  All great and normal dog responsibilities that you want in your family lover and protector. And when someone shows up to visit at the house he runs circles around the outside of the house which is her own personal canine racetrack.  He is active like a JRT should be.  He is made that way.  Crate trained and housebroken and good with other dogs and kids and adults.  What more do you want in a dog and for your lifestyle.   A physically fenced yard or invisible fence would be good to have for this boy.  Safety for your family pet is so important.  If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@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.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
There’s something so special about Shania — something that can’t quite be captured in a photo. At just 9 months old and 12 pounds, this Parsons Terrier/Westie mix has already been through more than most dogs her age, yet she radiates quiet hope and sweetness. When you first meet her, she may hang back a little, unsure of what to expect. But once she realizes you’re kind, she softens — her tail gives a shy wag, and her eyes begin to sparkle. You can almost see her heart opening up as she learns to trust. That’s Shania’s magic — she doesn’t just love; she chooses you, one gentle moment at a time. Shania loves other dogs and would thrive in a home where she can have a friendly canine companion or calm human friends to help her continue to blossom. She’d do best with older children or adults, as younger ones have been unkind to her in the past. She deserves a peaceful, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished. She’s fully vetted, spayed, and ready to begin her new life — one filled with kindness, stability, and love. Shania’s foster family says everyone who meets her is captivated by her tender personality and soulful spirit. This little treasure is ready to start fresh and discover what it feels like to be truly loved. If you can give her that gift, she’ll return it tenfold.Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about adopting Shania. She’s in Tennessee and can travel north on one of our weekend transports. 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.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
Cokie is a fun dog who prefers the run of the house and be with her people as much as possible. She is curious, is always in a great mood, and is always up for petting or playing. She is good on a leash and walks at a happy trot, is friendly with most dogs, is friendly with children (but maybe not very small children?), and has lived with a small dog most of her life. You won't believe she's a senior. We took her in after a friends elderly dad had gotten too immobile and could no longer take care of her. Why a rehome? Its not Cokie, its us. We have a senior cat and have adopted two senior dogs before. Cokie may be 16, but she is an actual dog. She is curious and wants to visit the cat, which sends our timid cat upstairs. Cokie gets some separation anxiety and she will sometimes bark in the middle of the night when she realizes she is alone downstairs. We cannot make both animals happy and the cat was here first.
