Story
  If you’re looking for a pup who brings sunshine wherever she goes, look no further than Mercy! This December 4th-born Aussie mix girl is bursting with personality and love. Mercy has an outgoing, happy spirit and a gentle sweetness that makes her irresistible. She’s the kind of puppy who will greet you with full-body wiggles, enthusiastic tail wags, and plenty of puppy kisses. Mercy loves people — big and small. She would thrive in a home with kids who want a playful companion, but she’d also be perfectly content soaking up all the love in an adult-only home. As long as she’s adored, she’s happy! She gets along beautifully with the other dogs in her foster home and would likely enjoy having a four-legged best friend. While she hasn’t been around cats yet, her friendly temperament suggests she could adjust with proper introductions. Fully grown, Mercy will be about 40–45 pounds — the perfect size for hiking trails, backyard playtime, and cozy movie nights. Mercy isn’t just looking for a home — she’s ready to become someone’s heart dog. Could that someone be you?         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 1, 2026, 11:26 pm

Story
  Maylene entered the world on December 4th, the smallest of her Aussie mix siblings — and she has never once let that slow her down. In fact, she has embraced her role as the baby of the family with full confidence. If Maylene had a motto, it would be: “All eyes on me.”   This little girl believes she was born to shine. She carries herself with the charming confidence of a pup who knows she is adored and fully expects that adoration to continue. Step aside, world — Maylene is here.   She loves her toys, especially when she can turn playtime into a spirited game of “keep away” with her sisters. She’s playful, bright, and full of personality. In her foster home, she gets along wonderfully with the other dogs and would thrive with a playful canine companion. She hasn’t had the chance to meet cats yet, but her adaptable nature suggests she would likely adjust with proper introductions.   When fully grown, Maylene will be around 40 pounds — the perfect size for a family looking for a loyal sidekick with just the right amount of sass and sweetness.   Now all she needs is a family who recognizes the sparkle in her eyes and the confidence in her little strut — a family who understands that this baby girl already knows she’s special… and is ready to treat her like the treasure she is.   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 28, 2026, 11:20 pm

Meet Otto, an adult neutered male mini Aussie mix!  Otto is about 40-45 lbs and will be arriving on transport on 3/7 and will be available for meet and greets! Otto is a very sweet cutie that is house/crate trained and good on a leash. He is good with other dogs, cats and loves to be with his people! We are accepting applications for him now!  He is medically up to date. Apply to meet this special pup today! Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding! ##2671480##

Story
  Meet Marielle — the quiet spark with the soulful eyes and the heart just waiting to shine. Born on December 4th, this stunning Aussie mix girl is the perfect blend of softness and spirit. At first glance, you’ll notice her gentle, observant nature. She’s the kind of puppy who studies you carefully, tilts her head just slightly, and takes a moment to decide if you’re “her person.” But once she does? Game over. You belong to her forever.  Marielle isn’t the life-of-the-party puppy crashing through the room — she’s the one who forms deep, meaningful bonds. She thrives in a home where love is steady and predictable. A loud, chaotic household with lots of tiny, fast-moving humans may feel overwhelming to her sensitive soul. But a family with a couple of older, kind-hearted kids who understand patience? That would be her sweet spot. In her foster home, Marielle enjoys the company of other dogs and clearly gains confidence from them. A friendly canine sibling could be the perfect role model and built-in best friend. She hasn’t met cats yet, but her calm, thoughtful personality suggests she would likely adapt just fine with slow introductions and guidance. When fully grown, Marielle should be around 40 pounds — a wonderful medium size that’s big enough for outdoor adventures and small enough to curl up in your lap when she thinks you’re not looking. And trust us, she will try to curl up in your lap. This precious girl doesn’t need the whole world. She just needs her world — a patient heart, a cozy spot to land, and someone willing to see the beauty in a shy beginning. Give her that, and you’ll watch her blossom into the most loyal, loving companion you could ever imagine.   Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.  She is currently fostered in Nashville, TN and we adopt locally and also transport to the northeastern region/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.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comFebruary 27, 2026, 9:01 pm

Story
  When you picture the perfect family companion, you imagine a puppy who has been loved from the very beginning — one who knows what gentle hands feel like and believes hugs are one of life’s greatest gifts. That puppy is Scoop.   Scoop is one of eleven lucky puppies who have been raised in the devoted care of a foster home since the day they were born. Because of that steady love, he is blossoming into the most wonderful little guy. He doesn’t just tolerate affection — he melts into it. Scoop is learning that the world is full of people who want to scoop him up (and yes, his name fits perfectly) and he absolutely loves every minute of it.   Those deeply soulful eyes will stop you in your tracks. They seem to study you, connect with you, and then quietly say, “Are you my person?” His soft black-and-white tuxedo coat is as touchable as it looks, and as he grows, it will develop into a semi-long, flowing coat that gives him a handsome, almost classic Lassie-style look. He is going to be a stunning 35–40 pound Aussie mix boy when fully grown — the perfect size for both adventure and couch cuddles.   But Scoop isn’t just a pretty face. He is brave. When he encounters something new that he doesn’t quite understand, he doesn’t panic — he works through it. Case in point: stairs. They were once a big, scary mystery. Now? He proudly marches down them every single day like a champ, and we couldn’t be prouder of his determination and growing confidence.   When it’s playtime, Scoop gives it everything he has. He romps, he wrestles, he zooms — and he plays until he drops. Then comes the best part: cuddle time. He is becoming more and more comfortable soaking up hugs, leaning into affection, and simply being someone’s baby. As he matures, that bond with his people will only grow stronger.   Scoop will be ready for his forever home in March, and he is looking for a family who is ready to invest in him — to teach him manners, guide him with patience, and help him grow into the incredible family dog he is destined to be. He is smart, not overly shy, eager to learn, and full of heart.   This boy won’t just join your family — he will be a gift to it.   If you’re ready to welcome Scoop into your life, please email 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 2, 2026, 4:29 pm
