Story

Leo is an incredibly loyal Australian Cattle Dog mix looking for an active home! Adopted as a puppy in 2017, he's up-to-date on vaccinations and in good health. Our upcoming move with small children means we can no longer meet his needs. Leo excels off-leash—staying close and checking in regularly. On trails, he scouts ahead before returning to make sure you're following. He comes immediately when called and is a true "velcro dog" who loves affection. Leo is good with other dogs and children (note: he has a herding dog's natural nipping instinct) and is fully house-trained. His favorite activity is playing with his blue ball, which he'll chase for hours! He would thrive with someone active who can give him the exercise, companionship, and love he deserves.

PICKETT Pickett was born in 2015. He is about 45 pounds, mostly black. He is a mystery mix. LOVES EVERYONE! He gets along with all people - he's a hugger and kisser Loves other dogs - moderately playful. He does try to hump the first time meeting, but is easily corrected. Loves cats. Great on the leash. And in the car. He's not young, but has tons of puppy like energy. LOVES toys and bones. Good house manners. HOWEVER, when unsupervised he should be crated or he may chew inappropriately. He was with a rescue for the last seven years and was never chosen somehow - despite his super friendly adorable personality. That rescue closed, he went to a local shelter, and knowing him personally, I had to bring him here HE DESERVES A WONDERFUL HOME. He's a hoot!

Story

Dodge is a toung, strikingly handsome Blue Heeler/Lab mix with a bright spirit to match his good looks. About one year old and weighing 43 pounds, this mostly black shiny boy has a beautiful gray-speckled chest that gives him a regal, eye-catching look. With longer legs and a slimmer build than a typical Heeler, he carries himself with confidence and athletic grace. Whatever breeds make up his DNA, one thing is certain — Dodge is sweet, playful, and incredibly smart. Dodge’s story began in the countryside, where he arrived at a rental home alongside a female Heeler mix and their six puppies. When the family couldn’t keep dogs, a cattle dog rescue stepped in to save the puppies, the mama was rehomed, and Dodge found his way to Critter Cavalry Rescue so he could be fully vetted and matched with the perfect home. Still very much a puppy at heart, Dodge brings goofy charm, happy energy, and a love of life wherever he goes. A fenced yard and an active household will help him burn off his enthusiasm and enjoy the adventures he craves. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of all ages and sizes, is respectful of cats, and would likely be a hit with kids who can keep up with his playful nature. Dodge is learning leash skills quickly and would make an excellent walking partner. He’s eager to learn, quick to please, and happiest when he’s close to his people, watching over them and soaking up attention. With continued training, Dodge is going to be an incredible lifelong companion. If you’re ready for a fun, smart, and loyal sidekick, email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell us your city and state. Transport is available from Tennessee to the northeastern states. 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.

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rocky’s story began when he was found in a very rural front yard—hungry, alone, but unbelievably sweet from the very first moment. He was taken to the local small town shelter for safety, but an experienced foster took one look at his sweet face and knew this boy needed more than a shekter kennel. She saw something special in him… and she was right. Rocky is a smart and striking 5-month-old Red Heeler mix, about 24 pounds, with the most adorable freckles and an expression that melts hearts instantly. He is affectionate and loves to snuggle just as much as he loves to run and play outside. Rocky enjoys his chew toys and, like most puppies, may occasionally snag a sock or blanket—but he’s doing wonderfully learning what’s his and what’s not. He does great in his crate, is progressing nicely with house training, and is eager to please. He plays well with other dogs and has been around cats in his foster home—curious but respectful, never aggressive. Rocky responds well to gentle verbal correction and truly wants to do the right thing. And when he wakes up? He has the sweetest little yawn that will make you smile every single time. This loving, highly intelligent puppy is ready to grow into a loyal, lifelong companion. If you’re looking for a best friend who will stick by your side for years to come, Rocky may be your perfect match. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com to learn more about adopting Rocky. PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.

Story

Maisie is the sweetest girl. She loves to play. She loves making new human and dog friends everywhere she goes. She needs someone with a large, fenced in yard or a large plot of land. She has lots of energy and needs space to run. Maisie will need a structured environment. She is very smart and trainable, but she has endless energy and needs tasks to put her mental energy to use. She would make a great dog for agility training, as a working dog, or even someone who wants a jogging/biking partner! She would also absolutely adore having a dog friend at home to play with!!! She is extremely focused and driven. She would not do well in an apartment or small space. She is afraid of younger kids (no aggressive behaviors) but would do well with kids over 8 years old. She truly is an amazing dog and deserves a great home! Please contact with questions or if you would like to see more pictures/videos. Maisie will come with all necessary supplies (crate, toys, leashes, etc.)

Story

Lilly is a beautiful, young female Australian Shepherd. She is a black tri with gorgeous blue eyes. She is about 3years old and weighs 40 pounds. Lilly had a litter of adorable pups, but she has recently been spayed. Lilly's personality has quickly emerged the last couple weeks,and she is very energetic and playful. She has mastered the art of both chasing a ball AND returning it! She even conveniently drops it close by (to speed up the time until you fling it away again!) Lilly has shown no interest in chewing or gnawing on family belongings or furniture, but she loves to curl up on the floor or on a cushion right by your feet. Lilly eats well, sleeps well, and is an amazingly fast learner. She is coming along great with learning sit and shake and has made good progress in leash-walking. She is reactive on leash and will need continued training to overcome this. Lilly enjoys being with people and is eager to accompany you anywhere. She goes in a crate nicely with a treat and has been well-behaved when staying overnight in a crate.Lilly loves to be close to you, but she is also good about laying quietly nearby and giving space when you are occupied. NEEDS TO BE THE ONLY DOG -->>> Lilly has a more dominant, alpha female personality, and she would do best as the only dog in the family. Most of all, she is thrilled to be outdoors and would be phenomenal at any dog sport from agility to frisbee to flyball--she has the zip, speed, and enthusiasm to conquer any activity that you want to enjoy with her! Lilly was kept as a backyard breeding dog and as such will need continued training on leash, basic commands, controlling impulses and socialization. She absolutely LOVES LOVES LOVES people and is happiest spending her time with her foster humans! Spend some time with Lilly, and her bright and fun-loving nature will win your heart! Lilly is being fostered in Richmond, VA. If you think Lilly is the girl for you, please submit our adoption application at the link below! https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption... There is one additional fees: $20 microchip transfer fee to register and transfer her to her new furever family

Story

Hello, I’m Tatum! I’m a 1 ½ year old Australian Shepherd with a personality as big as my heart…and appetite. I’m on the smaller side of standard around 40lbs. When I am not busy running at mach 1 speed, I’m busy winning over your heart with my soulful eyes and a tail that wags more than a windshield wiper in the rain. I am a typical velcro dog so expect me to always be by your side. I absolutely love belly rubs and come with a set of commands that I already know, such as sit, paw and lie down, which always winds up with me demanding belly rubs. Did I mention that I love long walks anywhere and riding with you in the car? Like Hootie said, “I only wanna be with you!” While I must admit that I look quite stunning, do not let this cute face fool you. I need daily stimulation from my human, no matter the weather or time of day. It takes A LOT to wear me out, so a fenced yard is a must. I would love to work on a farm or get involved in dog sports like agility, flyball or dock diving. I prefer women, as men can be scary sometimes, which may elicit me to bark and growl at them, especially if they are standing. I have not shown any aggression toward men, I am just afraid. Any man in my life will need to commit to working with me and possibly seeking a trainer. I was adopted but returned when I began to guard my female adopter from my male adopter. I also prefer female dogs better but need slow and controlled introductions to any dogs. I like friends to play with but need to make sure that our personalities fit well together, so a meet and greet with all family members (human and dog) would be best! Finally, I do have some separation anxiety and can be frightened by loud noises and when I must go to the vet. I will need continued training to be the best boy that I can be. If given the opportunity, resources and a little bit of patience, I can be a very good boy and your best friend! I hope to soon find my furever home where I can be your constant companion. I have so much love to give! I am being fostered in Richmond, VA, but really need a new foster or adopter. (My current foster had to move into a smaller home & yard and 4 dogs is just too much.) Here is the application: australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Story

🐾 Loving 8-Month-Old Golden Retriever/Australian Shepherd Mix Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾 It breaks my heart to write this, but I am looking to rehome my 8-month-old Golden Retriever/Australian Shepherd mix. She is an incredibly sweet, playful, and energetic girl who deserves a home with more time and attention than I’m currently able to give due to my work schedule. She is: • Very people-oriented — she LOVES everyone she meets • Great with kids • Friendly with other dogs • Extremely playful and full of personality • Smart and eager to learn Because of her Golden/Aussie mix, she has a lot of energy and would thrive with an active family who can give her consistent exercise, training, and engagement. She would do best in a home that understands working breeds and is ready to continue her training. She is currently working on house training. She knows to use the bathroom outside and does well during the day, but she still has occasional nighttime accidents. Please message me!
