Story
Meet Romeo – Your Loyal Sheltie Companion! 🐾Foster in Virginia Beach Va Romeo is a charming 4-year-old Sheltie with a heart full of love and a few extra pounds he's eager to shed. His previous owner adored him, but due to health challenges, she could no longer provide the care he deserves. Now, Romeo is seeking an active, loving home to help him embark on his next chapter. 🏡​ Personality: Loyal and Affectionate: Romeo forms deep bonds with his humans and thrives on companionship. 🥰​ Dog-Friendly: He enjoys the company of smaller dogs like himself and has a particular fondness for Collies and fellow Shelties. 🐶🐾​ Quiet Nature: Unlike many Shelties, who are known for their vocal tendencies, Romeo is relatively quiet and does not bark excessively. ​ Needs: Cat-Free Home: Romeo has a strong prey drive and will actively go after cats and caged animals, so a home without them is essential. 🚫🐱​ Active Lifestyle: He loves daily walks and would benefit from a family committed to regular exercise to help him achieve a healthier weight. 🚶‍♂️🐕​ Secure Yard: A fenced yard will provide Romeo with a safe space to explore and play. 🏞️​ Consistent Companionship: Romeo is accustomed to having a stay-at-home parent and thrives in an environment where someone is present most of the time. Therefore, we are seeking adopters who either work from home without travel commitments or families with at least one stay-at-home parent. 🏠👨‍👩‍👦​ Family Compatibility: Children: Due to his energetic nature and herding instincts, Romeo is best suited for families with children aged 7 and above. Younger children may be overwhelmed by his activity level, so older kids who can engage in structured play and understand respectful pet interactions are ideal. 👦👧​ Adoption Requirements: Proximity: We are seeking adopters located within two hours of Virginia Beach to ensure a smooth transition for Romeo.​ Commitment: Given that Shelties have an average lifespan of 12 to 14 years, potential adopters should be prepared for a long-term commitment and have a reasonable expectation of outliving Romeo to provide lifelong care.​ If you're an active individual or family ready to provide love, structure, and daily adventures, Romeo could be the perfect addition to your life! 💕 Www.coastalsheltierescue.org

Story
Meet Miss Blue Eyed Skye!  Skye and her siblings were part of an unwanted litter living beneath the front porch of a rural Tennessee home. Concerned neighbors noticed the puppies were not confined and that no one was caring for them. Fearing for their safety, especially after learning they were not being fed regularly, a neighbor intervened and rescued the puppies just before snow and ice swept through Middle Tennessee.   The puppies are now healthy, happy, and ready for their forever families to find them. Skye is a wonderful the only girl in the litter.  She is a mix of Collie, Australian Cattle Dog and Blue Heeler. Skye is 13 weeks old and very playful.  She is the most loving of the puppies.  She loves to be held like a baby and just bats those baby blues at you to get her way.  Skye holds her own with her brothers.  She enjoys playing with them as well as the other dogs in her foster home.  She is even good with the household cats. Skye is working on potty training and has it almost mastered.  She just needs some consistencey to remember why she went outside. Skye is crate-trained and spends time in an inside pen when no one is home to watch him.   Skye is spayed, up to date on all her vaccinations, and microchipped.  To be considered for her forever family and to request an application, please get in touch with Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Skye is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)  February 3, 2026, 5:45 pm

Story
  Meet Nala — a 41-pound, 7-year-young Corgi mix who somehow missed the memo about “acting her age.” Honestly, we’re pretty sure she’s more like 2 or 3.   Nala is all about fun, movement, and people. She loves playing chase with other dogs, greeting everyone she meets like a long-lost friend, and soaking up attention whenever it’s available (sometimes by enthusiastically jumping up to say hello — she’s working on that!). She’s also polishing up her leash skills, but her joyful spirit makes every walk an adventure.   Due to instability in her previous home, her family made the loving decision to give Nala the chance at a calmer, happier life — one filled with peace, play, and laughter. And that’s exactly what this girl brings to the table.   Nala does best with older children who can match her energy and not mind her zest for life. She’s crate trained, great with other dogs, and if you’ve got squirrels or rabbits in your yard… well, let’s just say she considers that a bonus feature. &#239&#184&#143   Her black-and-tan markings are beautiful, and those ears — almost standing straight up, with a charming little flop forward — give her a look that’s impossible not to smile at.   Nala’s motto? “Smile everywhere you go!” And she truly lives it.   Interested in adopting this happy girl? Write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell us your city and state. We transport north from Nashville, TN almost every weekend — and Nala already has her bags packed!   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.comFebruary 1, 2026, 3:08 pm
