Story
NEED FOSTER HOME FOR ONE OF THE MIXED PUPPIES FROM KIKKI'S STAR WARS LITTER!! Meet Hera, a loving, energetic companion looking for a foster or forever home. Hera is a charming dog with a heart full of loyalty and affection. She can be shy upon initially meeting someone, but adapts quickly. Once comfortable, her playful spirit and boundless energy shine through. Hera enjoys walks and is currently building confidence on leash. She has been fostered in a multi-animal home and gets along with other dogs very well. She sometimes needs a reminder to give the cats some space. She is potty trained as well as crate trained although she can be anxious when left alone at times. A calm, male companion would be ideal for her. Her foster home is currently working on basic training, including some tricks. She is very smart but can be stubborn. You will need some creativity to keep her engaged while training. Several short sessions as opposed to a long one. If you are looking for a devoted friend who will bring joy and enthusiasm into your life, Hera might be a match. Her lovable personality would ensure her becoming a cherished part of your family!! She is very smart and needs an owner who will engage her brain: obedience, fast cat, agility.  Prefer owners with some previous experience with dogs.  She will be spayed prior to placement.  See more pix and video at https://www.facebook.com/akitarescue.org/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 10, 2025, 8:47 am

Story
   Pashia – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Dog Looking for Her Person    There are dogs who come and go in our lives... and then there are dogs like Pashia — the kind of soul who doesn’t just enter your world, she changes it.  At 2 years old and 55 pounds, Pashia is a breathtaking blue-eyed Husky with a quiet strength and a heart that speaks volumes once it trusts you. She’s not just looking for a home — she’s looking for her person. Someone who sees beyond the pretty face and into the smart, loyal, sensitive spirit that lies beneath.  This girl has so much love to give, but she doesn’t give it away to just anyone — and that’s what makes it so special. Once Pashia chooses you, it’s for keeps. She will be your shadow on the trails, your snuggle buddy during movie nights, your calm presence on quiet mornings. The bond you build with her won’t be just another pet relationship — it will be deep, soulful, and unforgettable. Pashia is beautifully balanced — playful and silly with her toys (she treasures them and never destroys them), yet calm and observant when the day winds down. She loves sitting by a window or glass door, just watching the world — as if taking it all in with a quiet kind of wisdom. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and sleeps soundly through the night. She walks well on leash and enjoys slow strolls where she can take in the sights, scents, and sounds of nature.  She’s a work of art in motion — elegant and athletic — and would thrive with someone who wants a partner for outdoor adventures. But more than anything, she wants a heart to anchor to.  Because of her past, she takes time to trust, and she’s selective with some dogs — especially those with dominant personalities. She’s done well with older or submissive male dogs and could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. She just needs a home that’s calm, structured, and full of love. Someone who understands that earning the affection of a dog like Pashia isn’t instant — but is entirely worth the wait.  Pashia has grown so much and overcome so many quiet battles. Now, she’s ready to settle into a life where she can feel safe, loved, and understood. If you’re someone who doesn’t just want a dog, but wants one to be 'your' dog — the kind of companion who looks into your eyes and just gets you — then Pashia may be the one you've been waiting for. &#226&#156&#168 Give her the fairytale ending she deserves. Email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to meet Pashia. Because once she lets you into her heart… you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her.   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.comSeptember 4, 2025, 4:22 pm

  Meet Teddy – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Dog Looking for His Person   Charlotte, NC | 6-Year-Old Orange Husky | &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 80 lbs of Loyalty & Love   Adopting Teddy isn’t just rescuing a dog—it’s gaining a one-of-a-kind best friend with a story, a soul, and so much love to give.   Teddy came from a tough past—rescued from a kill shelter, injured and neglected—but you’d never know it today. With medical care, a warm bed, and the love of his foster family, Teddy has blossomed into a strong, affectionate, and deeply loyal boy who’s ready to give his whole heart to the right person.   This stunning orange Husky is truly in his prime—healthy, happy, and thriving. He’s house trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and lives for long walks (5+ miles a day? No problem!). He’s also a total goofball during playtime and ends each day curled up like a perfect donut on his bed, peaceful and content.   But what really makes Teddy special isn’t just his beauty or brains—it’s his soulful connection to his people. He doesn’t just want to live in your home—he wants to live in your heart. He’s food motivated, smart (knows sit, shake, off, and load), and endlessly devoted to those he trusts.   Teddy’s Dream Home:   A human or family who understands loyalty goes both ways A secure, fenced yard (he’s got Husky hops!) ‍&#226&#153&#130&#239&#184&#143 Active folks who love the outdoors and will give him the enrichment he thrives on A home without other pets—Teddy wants to be your one and only &#239&#184&#143 A patient heart, willing to let him warm up at his own pace   Teddy doesn’t 'talk' like some Huskies, but he speaks volumes with his body language and eyes. He’s gentle, protective, and loving—with a heart that’s ready to trust again.     The Opportunity of a Lifetime   Teddy has already proven how resilient and full of love he is. Now, he just needs someone to believe in him again. And in return? You get a loyal companion, an adventure buddy, a warm presence at your side—a dog who will change your life as much as you change his.   Reach out today to learn more or meet Teddy—he’s ready to find the home and heart he’s been waiting for.   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.comNovember 7, 2025, 4:19 pm
