Story
Stella is a friendly and intelligent dog with plenty of energy. We want her to be happy and have a space where she can run around and play with other dogs. Previously, Stella lived in the mountains of Colorado, where she enjoyed a large fenced yard and had lots of friends to play with. Now, she is living in a townhouse without a yard, which has been challenging for her. As a very active young lady, she is currently feeling unhappy. Stella is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever, and she is expected to weigh around 30 pounds. She is a loving and eager-to-learn dog who picks up new skills quickly. Stella would be an amazing agility dog, as this would engage both her mind and her need for physical activity. If agility training isn't your interest, she would also thrive in an active lifestyle with an avid walker, hiker, or runner.  Stella is a very quick learner and was immediately fully potty trained.     To ensure the best for Stella, her new owners should have a yard or live on a farm, and it would be great if they have another dog and children.  Stella has plenty of energy to add playing at home to her list of activities.    Stella has been spayed and is current on all her shots until May 2026.  To be considered for her forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Stella is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)  July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Zara! I am a beautiful gray and white 3-year-old Australian Shepherd Poodle mix. While ladies typically don’t disclose their weight, I am about 50 lbs. If you are a smart and active person or couple looking to adopt a dog with a similar temperament, then we could be a great match! I love going for walks and would appreciate having someone who can incorporate that into my daily routine. Getting outside for exercise is something I enjoy, and I would also make an excellent running companion. Visiting the park or going on hikes would be a lot of fun, too! Not to brag, but I believe I'm quite a looker, and I’m confident that if you took me to the park, we would make lots of friends together. While I love people, I am not used to being around other dogs, so a dog park wouldn’t be suitable for me. However, I’m always up for hanging out where the people are! I’m also a bit too energetic for young children; I sometimes forget that I'm bigger than they are and might accidentally knock them over. It would be wonderful if someone in the household could work from home, as I am crate-trained but don't like spending long hours alone. I thrive on human interaction and am seeking a loving home.  I promise to return your love! If you would like to be considered for my forever family, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com. Please note that an approved application and adoption fee are required. (I am currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)    July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm

Story
  Meet Miss Kitty – A Heart Ready to Bloom   Miss Kitty’s story is one of transformation, hope, and quiet bravery. This stunning 2-year-old Aussie mix (around 70 lbs) was once part of a large group of neglected dogs—left without love, attention, or hugs daily.  The days of indifference from humans are long behind her. With the help of a kind foster home, Miss Kitty has discovered the beauty of human kindness, human touch and now she’s ready to find a forever family of her own.  In just two months, she’s blossomed from a shy, uncertain girl into a dog who seeks out affection and enjoys the company of people—especially children, who she now happily follows with her tail wagging. She’s gentle with dogs of all sizes and loves running and playing with her friends in open spaces. Cats are still a mystery to her, but she’s learned to coexist respectfully.Miss Kitty is still gaining confidence with new experiences—like walking on a leash and spending time indoors—but her courage grows every day. She’s curious, sweet, and has a heart that’s learning to trust completely. With a little patience and a lot of love, this beautiful girl will reward her forever family with endless devotion and loyalty. If you’re looking to make a difference in a dog’s life and watch a soul truly bloom, Miss Kitty is waiting for you.  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to meet Miss Kitty today!   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.comNovember 18, 2025, 4:58 pm

Story
  Quinn is a beautiful tricolor Australian Shepherd who has known a lifetime of love — and now finds himself needing one more chance. At 6 years old, this mellow, kind-hearted boy is not old, just settled and soulful. He was raised from a puppy by elderly owners who adored him completely, and while that love came with far too many extra meals and treats, it also gave Quinn a gentle spirit and deep trust in people. He currently weighs around 80 pounds, but with properly measured food and daily walks, his healthy weight of 50 to 55 pounds is well within reach.   Quinn’s life was turned upside down when his owners moved into assisted living, and he had to say goodbye to the only home he had ever known on New Year’s Eve. He misses them, and that quiet sadness lingers, but it has not dimmed his sweetness or his willingness to connect. He has lived harmoniously with cats, dogs, chickens, and goats, and brings a calm, respectful presence wherever he goes.   This boy is housebroken, non-destructive, and content to relax when left alone. He can use a crate if needed but does not require one. Right now, stairs are difficult due to his weight, but he manages them and will improve greatly as his health journey progresses. With gentle daily walks, proper portions, and a human who believes in him, Quinn can safely lose weight and rediscover the joy of movement over the coming months.   Quinn has many good years ahead of him and so much love still to give. He doesn’t need perfection — just patience, understanding, and someone willing to walk beside him as he begins again. If you feel drawn to give this deserving Aussie a new life, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com as soon as possible. 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 6, 2026, 11:52 pm

Story
With marbled fur and big brown eyes, Raylan captures the attention of everyone he meets. Despite his initially timid demeanor, Ray is a lover through and through. With his initial shyness and all of his adoration to give, Raylan is a bit of an introvert. This Aussie-collie mix enjoys long walks at a steady pace with the warm weather and wind in his hair- a stop and sniff the flowers type of guy- but he is not afraid of a gentle jog or a humble hike either. He is searching for his people who will become the center of his world. Patience, support and understanding with this teddy bear is key to help him flourish into the dog he can be.
