Story
Daisy is a good girl. She doesn’t get along with our big dog anymore, and we don’t know why. She loves to run outside and play. She isn’t house trained, but has limited accidents. She isn’t spayed and still needs her rabies shots. She is a purebred American shepherd.

Story
Very sweet highly trainable boy. Only 6 months old so not currently neutered. Was taking him for a weekend to see if he got along with our first dog but he’s too much for her and scares her. When plans arranged to return him she blocked me essentially dumping him on me. Knows basic commands and the little training we did with him has stuck. Not a mean bone in his body. Free to a good home. Will drop off

If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. This is a super litter of variety. We have 6 puppies that are beautiful and playful. They were brought to me when Mama was pregnant and the were born in our house. Mom is a very plain all black, 25# dog…breed not determined but she must have picked some beautiful boyfriends. They were born on 6/9/2026…3 boys & 3 girls. Two of them have 1 or 2 beautiful blue eyes. I let my phone app scan for breeds. For each puppy I will list the 2 most common and expected but no guarantees. KARMA is a 13# female with 2 BLUE eyes possibly from the Australian Shepherd and maybe a hound with the floppy ears. We expect her to get to be 40-45#s when grown. This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention.

  Our petite Aussie mix 5 year old beauty is called Miss Fancy. A dainty little Tennessee Treasure that is looking for a special family to bless with her gentle nature and love.   This girl is only 34 pounds and has done all the growing she ever will do!  Her foster mom says she must have been someone's very special companion because she wants to be your shadow and your most obedient and mannerly dog-child.   She is housebroken, crate trained and she listens. You tell her NO....she stops and doesn't do it again.  She will be your shadow of devotion everywhere you go and in the car...she is your beautiful Co-Pilot.   This girl is ready for someone to make the comittment and also to help her complete her heartworm treatment that is topical and easy to be applied every two weeks.  It is called Slow Kill  Heartworm Treatment and it WORKS like a charm with no harsh pain and  only good results of killing them and being clear in no time.  She is a smiling girl for the cameras and she will continue to be  your happy place in life if you invite her home!  Good with dogs and we can test for cats, we know that this girl will fit in anywhere!    Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested.     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 21, 2026, 9:05 pm

Story
  Meet Bailey Girl— All She Needs Is a Chance ❤️ Bailey Girl is a beautiful 27-pound female 18 month old Mini Aussie mix with a story that will break your heart—but the little dog she is becoming will put it right back together.       Bailey Girl was abandoned during extremely hot weather when someone placed her inside a school playground with no way to get out. Tragically, she wasn’t discovered until the following Monday when the school reopened. Someone had reportedly witnessed her being left there but did not notify anyone. We may never understand why she was abandoned that way, but we do know one thing: her story does not have to end where it began. Today, Bailey Girl is safe in a loving foster home, and she is doing beautifully. ❤️ It took her only a couple of days to begin trusting her foster, and now she has become her little shadow. She does well with other dogs and cats, walks on a leash, and can even be left loose in the home with the other dogs while her foster is at work. Bailey Girl is still working on becoming completely house trained, but she is extremely intelligent and continues to learn. She enjoys having a yard where she can run and as her confidence and trust have grown, she happily comes back to her foster when called. Because Bailey Girl can be somewhat fearful of children, we believe she would be happiest in a home without children, where she can feel secure and develop a strong bond with her person or family. Bailey may need a little more patience in the beginning than some dogs. You have to earn her trust—but once you do, something very special happens. She begins to understand that she is safe. She follows you. She looks to you for reassurance. And before long, you realize you haven’t just gained a dog—you’ve gained a devoted little sidekick. A word of advice please.  Bailey Girl needs someone who won’t expect everything from her on the first day. She needs love, patience, kindness, and time. Give her the opportunity to understand that you aren’t going anywhere, and she will give that love and devotion right back to you. ❤️ Bailey may very well become the dog you talk about for the rest of your life. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you would like to make her a part of your world and life.  She has already experienced what it feels like to be left behind. Now it’s time for this beauty to discover what it feels like to be chosen—and never abandoned again. ❤️   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 21, 2026, 9:05 pm

Story
Luca is a sweet, loving boy born in May 2021. He loves to cuddle, play, and especially loves being around kids. He’s house-trained and has a really loving personality.Rehoming Luca is honestly a very hard decision for me. My schedule has gotten really busy, and I don’t feel like I’m able to give him the time and attention he deserves. I want to do what’s best for him, even though it’s not easy.I’m looking for someone who has the time to give Luca lots of love, attention, and companionship. I want him to go to a home where he’ll be treated like part of the family and get the time and love he deserves. He’s a really good boy and I just want to find the right person for him. ❤️
