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 Amber, a girl whose name couldn’t be more fitting. Just like the soft glow of amber itself, she radiates warmth, comfort, and a gentle kind of joy that reaches you the moment you meet her. At 2 years old and 65 pounds, this gorgeous Collie mix is the very definition of a loving companion—sweet, affectionate, and always hoping to be close enough for you to feel the steady beat of her loyal heart. Amber’s story began in a tiny rural community, where she wandered alone until kind locals stepped in to help her. No one came forward to claim her, but maybe that’s because her real family is still out there—someone who will recognize that she was meant for them. When Critter Cavalry Rescue brought her in, they immediately saw it: her remarkable intelligence, her eagerness to bond, and her gentle, soulful spirit. Amber enjoys every simple pleasure with pure gratitude—exploring the world on her harness, leaning in for affection, and curling up with her beloved stuffed bunny, who has become her constant companion. She loves being brushed, loves being talked to, and really loves being included. Amber gets along with other dogs, though her enthusiasm may be a bit much for calmer companions. As for cats… well, they’re a little mysterious and intimidating to her. But people? She adores them—wholeheartedly. This beautiful girl is ready to become someone’s heart dog… that once-in-a-lifetime companion who fills a home with warmth, softness, and quiet devotion. If you are looking for a dog who will love you with her whole soul, who will share every moment by your side, and who will glow with gratitude for the rest of her life, Amber may be the one you’ve been waiting for.   If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at 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.November 22, 2025, 9:52 pm
