Story
*Woof* I`m in a foster home. Email lauren.pina1998@gmail.com to meet me. - very friendly, loves people, cuddly (especially, giving hugs or laying by your feet) - smart and already knows tricks like `sit,` `roll over` and `paw` - potty trained - doesn`t need to be crated in the home - has gotten along with many pupsCheck it out - Little Boy was featured as WTOP`s pet of the week! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVtxNhyjEhR/?igsh=Mms4N3pjZDczdnNhDon’t let the name fool you — Little Boy is not so little! At about 75 pounds, he’s a big, lovable bundle of pure sweetness, and once you meet him, you’ll understand why everyone falls head over heels for this Big Boy. At 5 years old, Little Boy is the perfect mix of mellow companion and adventure buddy. He’s incredibly friendly and affectionate, always ready to lean in for hugs or stretch out at your feet while you go about your day. He’s happiest just being near his people, often rolling right onto his back to soak up belly rubs or even standing up for a full-on hug. He’s house trained, well-mannered, and a smart cookie too — he already knows “sit” and “roll over,” and is eager to keep learning. Most days, he’s content to lounge beside you, but he also loves getting out for a nice long walk or hopping in the car for a ride (especially if it means sticking his head out the window and enjoying the breeze). Little Boy can be left home alone without a crate. If you’re looking for a cuddly, loyal, and easygoing companion with a big heart to match his size, Little Boy might just be your dream match.

This young Australian Shepherd and Rat Terrier mix is a medium-sized bundle of fun who’s ready to turn your backyard into his personal circus (don’t worry—he’s the good kind of chaos).     Ferris gets along great with other dogs and believes playdates are serious business. He’s also quite the athlete—so athletic, in fact, that he can clear a 4-foot fence without breaking a sweat. If there were a doggie Olympics, he’d bring home the gold. Because of his aerial talents, Ferris will need a secure yard (no flimsy fences or trampoline escapes, please).  He’s working on his house training and learning fast—this smart boy aims to please!     Ferris is fun, affectionate, and ready to find his forever family.

  Marley Girl is a happy, outgoing  8 year old Aussie Doodle with a heart full of love and lots of years and life left to share.

While Marley has a few years behind her she has so many more ahead of her.

Story
This little darling is called Mini Pearl and she is as spunky and funny as the real Minnie Pearl was back in the days of the 70's and 80's where she was the Queen of Country Comedy.  Little Mini Pearl is a Miniature Australian Shepherd who lost her owner when she passed away. Several other small breed dogs were left behind and have all found homes.  Mini Pearl is just 2-3 years old and 13 pounds and spicy and with a darling kick to her personality. She has the big personality in the tiny little body. She is housebroken, crate trained and a little intimidated by large dogs. A very normal reaction from a tiny little girl and normal with small breed dogs that are her size.  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.comJuly 16, 2026, 8:58 pm
