Story
Meet Winter, a resilient Collie mix with a heart as bright as her name. Back in April, we received a call about a group of puppies who weren’t being cared for properly. Among them was Winter. She had already endured more than any puppy should—caught in a home with neglect and drug abuse, she was kicked by one of the owners, leaving her front leg broken and untreated. When we arrived in Tuscaloosa and saw her pain and fear, we knew immediately that she needed us. The very next day, our vet confirmed the break. With proper care, love, and healing, Winter made a full recovery. Today, she’s thriving—happy, energetic, and playful, with all the sweetness you could ask for in a companion. Her beautiful white coat with warm red patches and her soulful eyes make her just as stunning on the outside as she is strong on the inside. Winter is ready for her forever home—a family who will treasure not only her playful energy and loving nature, but also the story of resilience she carries with her. If you’re looking for a dog who embodies both joy and strength, Winter is waiting to meet you.

Story
  A Message From Boone — Your Milk-Chocolate Tennessee Boy   Hi there, I’m Boone! I was born on July 4th in a little rural Tennessee town, and my foster mom says I’m as “sweet as milk chocolate” thanks to my Lab momma (a gorgeous dark chocolate girl) and my Australian Shepherd daddy. Somehow, I ended up looking like the best mix of both—soft, sweet, and full of love.  I’m still a little guy at about 15 pounds, but I’m making up for lost time. Before coming to my foster home, I didn’t have much room to grow or explore—I spent my early life mostly in a tub and then a crate and really didn't have enough food to nourish my growing puppy body. Now that I have space to run, play, learn, and be a well-fed and loved puppy, I’m soaking it all in. Foster mom says watching me discover the world has been one of her favorite things. As I grow, I’ll likely reach around 50 pounds, with long, soft fur that will be absolutely beautiful once I’m fully grown. Right now, I’m focusing on good food, building healthy muscles, and learning what love and attention really feel like—and oh boy, do I love it.    My dream home?A family that has time to show me how great life can be. A fenced yard to zoom around in, and maybe some kids to grow up with. Another dog would be amazing—I am learning lots from the adult dogs here in my foster home.  I would love to have parents who love training a smart pup  like me and because I am smart. I really do want to learn everything I can. I’ve started crate training, and I’m doing great with that. Leashes are still a bit confusing, but my foster mom says I’m trying so hard, and with gentle teaching I’ll soon realize walks are one of life’s best adventures.   I’ll be ready to go home beginning December 12th—just in time to curl up under someone’s Christmas tree and wait for Santa with my new family. My foster parents take wonderful care of me, but I know my real home is out there. I’m hoping my next car ride will be the one that takes me to my forever family—the one who will treat me like their little prince. If that sounds like you, please reach out to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com. I’ve got Christmas kisses ready and waiting.   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.comDecember 11, 2025, 7:13 pm

Story
Stella is a friendly and intelligent dog with plenty of energy. We want her to be happy and have a space where she can run around and play with other dogs. Previously, Stella lived in the mountains of Colorado, where she enjoyed a large fenced yard and had lots of friends to play with. Now, she is living in a townhouse without a yard, which has been challenging for her. As a very active young lady, she is currently feeling unhappy. Stella is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever, and she is expected to weigh around 30 pounds. She is a loving and eager-to-learn dog who picks up new skills quickly. Stella would be an amazing agility dog, as this would engage both her mind and her need for physical activity. If agility training isn't your interest, she would also thrive in an active lifestyle with an avid walker, hiker, or runner.  Stella is a very quick learner and was immediately fully potty trained.     To ensure the best for Stella, her new owners should have a yard or live on a farm, and it would be great if they have another dog and children.  Stella has plenty of energy to add playing at home to her list of activities.    Stella has been spayed and is current on all her shots until May 2026.  To be considered for her forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Stella is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)  July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm
