Story
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
This handsome red heeler mix puppy is called Ernie and he and his brother Bert and their mom were found in a barn where they had been raised by their stray mother. Their mother was barely hanging on to life. The happy ending to her story is she is living with a wonderful family now and is loved and Ernie is looking for a wonderful family too raise him, love him, and bring his own special joy to. Ernie is a really delightful and well adjusted 6-month-old puppy that weighs 26 lb. He is a friendly little guy that enjoys meeting people and loves to chase a ball and bring it back to you. His innocence and love for life is contagious. He craves being with people that like him and speak kind words to him. He will crawl in your lap and be your best little buddy. His foster mom who raised he and his brother Bert says that he has the best temperament and personality. Recently this little guy went to a yoga class at the YMCA and had so much fun. It was a totally new and unique environment and he handled it with great poise and embraced all of the Zen vibes going on. Ernie is housebroken, crate trained, loves being around other cats and dogs alike and adores children. There isn't a living creature on this earth that he doesn't like. He is learning quite well,  how to walk on a leash and he rides in a car like a pro. He would be a great dog to take for hikes, long walks, outdoor events and adventures, and of course he would be a hit at any family reunions. Ernie is ready to call a family and their home his very own. If you are interested in making Ernie your perfect little sidekick in life, Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com 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.comJanuary 28, 2025, 12:57 pm

My name is Cancun and I am a little 3 month  old red Heeler mix pup that is just as cute and fun as you can imagine from my looks.  I am 12 pounds and was just neutered last week and completed all of my shots and wormings and am fully ready to spread my wings and find my own dog pad in this world.  My foster mom found me and my sister and brother on her front porch steps in a box and she never knew who left us there. She said that word is out that she has a big heart and does rescue work.  Well I am thankful for her and what kind of care she has given us.  I love other dogs, adore cats and I am a great little guy to play with people at all times. I am working on potty training but as you can guess I am not there yet because I am too young.  I need leash training and I do understand about crates and why I have to love being in one.   If you are interested in me please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   I will be a 25-30 pound boy when I grow up.  Just the perfect smallish medium boy that will have lots of positive energy and lots of smarts!  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.February 16, 2025, 8:33 pm

Alfie is just the sweetest boy who is only 10 months old, weighs 48 pounds and has overcome so much in his young life.  This boy has overcome such a deep shyness with meeting new people and his foster mom has helped him learn confidence and the acceptance of affection from people.   He is a kind and sweet dog that is a medium energy, a kind spirit and good with other creatures in his life.  He is good with cats, dogs and just needs a slow introduction with new people. He loves his walks on the leash in the neighborhood and they have helped him build such a confidence that he never had when he first came to Critter Cavalry Rescue.  He is a Blue Heeler mix and we think he is oh so handsome.  Alfie is going to be a special rescue dog for someone.  Someone with patience and the desire to see a dog blossom every day in to a radiant soul that will make you the center of his universe and love.  If you would like to consider this boy please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   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.comFebruary 17, 2025, 1:39 pm

  This pretty little blue healer girl is only 8 to 9 months old and weighs 22 -25  pounds, with a little more to grow.  We have named her Blue  Lacey, and we think her adult weight will be somewhere between 25-30 pounds tops. She and her sister Blue Sierra were found as strays, wandering on an expansive farm property in Middle Tennessee.  The girls had no collars, and were cold and hungry.  Blue Lacey is a beautiful girl that is a 'people pleaser'.  She will follow you like a little shadow and try to do whatever you ask her to do.   She is a smart and strong personality like the Heeler breed embodies.  We are looking for someone with herding breed experience and appreciates her intelligence, her desire to do fun and challenging things daily and the intense devotion to a person or family.  There is a need to exercise every day to stay on top of her best physical needs and mental stimulation.  This girl is beautiful inside and out and she is available now if you contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   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.comMarch 11, 2025, 9:45 pm

Story
Owner left him and didn’t want to to take him when she left. I kept him for a while but can’t keep up with him. He is a power chewer and will chew through anything you send his way, but is slow/ gentle with treats. He is a sweet dog who loves to cuddle and be up under you. If you tell him to stop he goes and lays in a corner. He is house trained. Loves to play with other dogs. Will walk ok on a leash, but hasn’t had a lot of time on the leash. ( barks a lot when he sees cows on short walks). He’s needs a home with activities for him to do. He’s does well on car rides. He is a bit over 2 years old.

Story
Meet Salty! 🐾 This adorable 5-month-old Australian Cattle Dog mix is as lovable as they come! Salty is a playful, social pup who adores cuddles and thrives on affection. He's the perfect mix of sweet and spunky, ready to bring joy to his forever family. Salty is good with most dogs but may do best as the only dog in the home since he can get a little possessive of his person. That said, this may improve in a quieter home with fewer dogs than we have here at the rescue. He's great with kids, loves people, and is a friendly little guy with no known allergies or bite history — just normal puppy antics! Salty is house-trained, microchipped, and in good health. He's still waiting to be neutered, but we're working on scheduling that. With his medium energy level, Salty would love a home with a yard and a secure 4-foot fence where he can play safely. He's expected to reach about 30-35 lbs when fully grown — the perfect size for a cuddle buddy! Salty is currently in foster care at Sunny Bear Rescue, but he's still looking for a foster or forever home. If you're ready for a pup who will love you endlessly, Salty might just be your perfect match. 💙

Stella is a sweet and gentle 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix with a heart as big as her soft, soulful eyes. Though she can be shy at first, once she gets to know you, Stella will shower you with love, cuddles, and plenty of sweet kisses! Stella came to us from a difficult dog-hoarding situation where she lived with over 15 other dogs. This high-stress environment left her needing time to feel safe and comfortable in new surroundings. But once she warms up, her affectionate and loyal nature truly shines. One of Stella’s favorite activities is running and playing in our Bark Park with her kennel mate, Thumper, and her buddy, Oswald. She seems to do well with other dogs but appreciates a patient introduction to let her trust and confidence grow. Stella is already spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, so she’s ready to go to her forever home! It’s important to note that Stella has luxating patellas (loose kneecaps) in both her back legs, a condition that may require surgery as she gets older. Stella does have an anti-inflammatory that she takes when her knees "act up." This condition may also cause arthritis to set in earlier in life. Despite this, she remains active, happy, and full of life! If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will reward your patience with endless love and devotion, Stella could be the perfect match. Come meet her today—your new best friend is waiting!

Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Marlboro, NY Meet Mac! He is a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd and weighs 55 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots and on heartworm prevention. Mac is fearful of strangers but is loving and playful once he knows you! No children or dogs, due to his reactivity! He hasn’t been tested around cats. Mac is given 60mg of Clomipramine HCL twice a day for his anxiety. He bit a veterinary technician at a boarding kennel and a dog sitter. He bit a plumber who walked into the owner’s home unannounced. He also bit a stranger who walked into the owner’s friend’s home. The owner said these bites have all been due to his fear. The owner is surrendering him because of his anxiety, and they are expecting a grandchild soon. If you think you can provide a great home for Mac, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Mac.

Meet Alice, our darling brown and white girl that has the most memorable face and sky high ears you have ever seen.   This girl was born around the middle of May and is thought to be combination of lots of breed influences.   For starters we think that Cattle Dog and Aussie might be a mixture that are dominant for her.  She is one smart little girl that adorable her foster family and all the other big dogs (several German Shepherds are her mentors and big sisters) and many foster cats are present as well in the home.  Her boundless happy puppy energy catapults her through the days as she grows in to a true beauty inside and out.  She is so playful and loving and always ready for the next BIG ADVENTURE!  She loves to chase toys and explore the backyard for new things to do and maybe a few squirrels to make friends with.  She absorbs whatever you teach her like a sponge.  Her foster mom is an excellent trainer and knows the importance of teaching manners and commands.  Her friendly nature makes her easy to meet new people and she is does not shy away from new experiences either.  She is a snuggler when she is tired and very loving as she sits beside you to watch a good TV show.  This girl will be an excellent recall pup since she is learning that now and is so eager to please and be with her humans.  If you are interested in this beauty who will grow to be a 45-50 pound girl, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   Let us know where you live: city and state when you are inquiring. 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.January 2, 2025, 2:07 pm
