Story
Meet Cody, a brilliant 5-year-old soul who is ready to be your most loyal companion! Born on February 15th, this healthy boy is the perfect blend of playful energy and sensitive sweetness. Cody is a true "people dog"—he thrives on companionship and loves everyone he meets, especially children. If you’re looking for a smart partner, Cody is your guy; he’s a hide-and-seek champion and knows an impressive list of commands, from "Shake" to "Wait." Cody is located in Virginia Beach, VA  while waiting to leave for his forever home  Cody is neutered, up to date on shots, dewormed & also microchipped. His microchip will be registered to his new adopter at no additional cost.  To adopt: http://petstablished.com/adoption_form/2602/generic The Adventure Partner: He lives for car rides and trips to the beach. He’s a gentleman on a leash, though he might give a playful pull when he’s excited! The Toy Enthusiast: Squeaky toys and balls are his love language. He’ll play fetch until your arm gets tired. The Work-From-Home Buddy: Cody isn't a fan of being alone for long stretches. He’d love a home where his humans are around often to give him the "no-crate" freedom he enjoys. The Sensitive Soul: He prefers a gentle touch and a calm voice. Because he was once scared of vacuums and brooms, he appreciates a patient owner who understands his sensitive side. Mealtime Manners: Cody is a "foodie" who takes his meals seriously! While he is a social butterfly in most settings, he prefers to dine solo and doesn't like to share his snacks or bowl with other dogs. He’ll be happiest in a home that can provide him a quiet, private space to enjoy his meals without any four-legged "interruptions." Cody is house-trained, knows his commands, and is simply waiting for a family who understands his quirks and loves him for the "good boy" he is. ##1213615##

Story
My name is Delilah, and I believe that the best things in life come as a result of hard work. Accomplishments are more SATISFYING when you have earned them. I live my life by this motto, and I will make you work for my approval. I know I am beautiful and elegant and have a face that screams "awww!", but I know I won't be everybody's cup of tea- and that's okay! I am a sweetheart with a heart of gold, and I am looking for the right person to convince me to let them see that heart of gold. If you're not afraid of a little extra effort, come by and meet me. I promise that it will be worth your while.

Story
   â¤ï¸ Blue Sassy: The Dog Who Still Has So Much Love Left to Give ❤️ Sometimes a rescue story finds you, and before you know it, you’ve become part of a journey that desperately deserves a happy ending. Blue Sassy is a 9-year-old Blue Heeler who spent her entire life with one man who adored her. He raised her from a puppy, and every night she slept beside him. She wasn’t just his dog—she was his comfort, his companion, and his therapy through life’s challenges. A few months ago, her owner reached out to Critter Cavalry Rescue with a heartbreaking request. His health was failing, and he was being forced to move somewhere his beloved dogs could not follow. Through tears, he asked us to help. When Blue Sassy came into rescue, she finally received the veterinary care she hadn’t had in years. During her spay and wellness exam, we discovered she was diabetic. The untreated diabetes had also affected her eyesight, leaving her with limited vision. But here’s the remarkable thing about Blue Sassy… She doesn’t feel sorry for herself. She wakes up every day happy. She greets people with a smile. She loves to explore the yard with her nose leading the way. She loves ear scratches, belly rubs, curling up on the couch, and most of all, sitting in your lap soaking up affection. She still has all the intelligence, confidence, and personality that make Blue Heelers such incredible companions. Her foster family absolutely adores her. Blue Sassy would do best in a home with minimal stairs and easy access to the outdoors for potty breaks. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, loves children, and enjoys being around people. While her vision isn’t perfect, she navigates her world surprisingly well and adapts with the resilience dogs are famous for. Her diabetes is manageable with twice-daily insulin injections, given about 12 hours apart. The insulin itself is affordable, and the injections are quick and easy. Other than her diabetes, her bloodwork and health checks have been excellent. What Blue Sassy needs now isn’t pity. She needs someone who sees beyond a diagnosis and recognizes the loving, loyal, funny, affectionate dog standing right in front of them. At 9 years old, she still has plenty of life to live, plenty of cuddles to give, and plenty of memories left to make. Age is only a number, and Blue Sassy’s heart is as young as ever. Could you be the person who gives this sweet girl the next chapter she deserves? If you’d like to learn more about Blue Sassy, please email ccrtennessee@gmail.com. She has already been someone’s whole world once. We’d love to find her another family to love just as deeply       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 8, 2026, 5:33 pm

Story
Meet Haydee! She is a shy and reserved pup who needs time to open up and feel comfortable when meeting new people. Haydee will need someone who understands this and is willing to be patient with her. Once she feels she can trust you, her full personality is on display! She is a playful and energetic dog who is looking for a partner in crime :). Because of her breed it will be important that she gets a lot of mental stimulation so she can focus her herding tendencies to something positive. If you feel you could be a match for her please fill out an application!
