Meet Macy — A Loving Girl Ready for Her Forever Family Meet Macy, a beautiful Mini Australian Shepherd who is 1 year old and weighing approximately 25 pounds. Macy is an intelligent, joyful, and incredibly loving girl who is looking for a family that will make her a true part of their everyday life. Macy does well with other dogs, cats, and children, making her a wonderful possibility for a family with other pets or kids. She is very smart, eager to learn, and enjoys being involved with the people around her. Macy is already crate trained and is currently working on her house training—and coming along nicely! With consistency, patience, and lots of praise, this intelligent little girl should continue to make great progress. Macy needs an active and involved family. A home with a safely fenced yard where she has room to run and play freely would be ideal. She would love someone who enjoys walks, hiking, adventures, and family outings and wants a four-legged companion by their side. Macy is being rehomed because her current owner works full-time and simply cannot give her the time and attention she deserves. Her owner feels it is unfair for Macy to spend so many hours in her crate and wants to give her the opportunity to have a fuller, more active life with a family who has more time for her. Macy is a loving and joyful little girl with so much to give. She isn’t asking for much—just room to run, adventures to enjoy, a family to love, and people who will include her in their lives. If you’re looking for an intelligent, affectionate companion who is ready to become part of your family and join you on life’s adventures, Macy may just be your perfect match.  Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com via email to ask for an adoption application!  She is fostered in Tennessee and we do transport to the Northeast corridor of states. Let’s find this sweet girl the loving forever home she deserves!

Story
Beckett is a very handsome mini Australian Shepherd mix. He weighs about 35 lbs. This distinguished boy is a young 10-year-old. Beckett was saved from the streets of Nashville. He was abandoned and alone. Thanks to a caring lady who could not bear the thought of him spending any more time outside, Beckett is now in a loving foster home. He is under the care of Critter Cavalry.   It did not take long for this awesome gentleman to make himself at home. After meeting the resident dogs, he explored outside. He came in and found a spot to relax. He is getting along great with his new foster sisters. He is also good with cats. This super smart boy quickly learned to use the doggie door. He can now come and go as he pleases. He does prefer to be inside and likes to know where his foster mom is. Beckett is enjoying all the love and attention he is getting.   It takes him a few minutes, but he quickly warms up to new people. He just has to make sure that you are nice. Beckett is housebroken. He walks well on a leash. He also does not mind the crate and will go right in for a treat. He currently sleeps in his crate, but we think he would love to cuddle up right next to you.   If you are interested in adopting Beckett, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311 to request an application. The adoption process requires submitting an application, having it approved, and paying an adoption fee. Beckett is neutered, up to date on all shots, microchipped, and currently in Tennessee. He can be transported north upon adoption.September 11, 2026, 8:47 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 11, 2026, 8:47 pm

Story
> Handsome and inquisitive Joshua is the epitome of a young pure bred Australian Shepherd with all the bells and whistles of the breed. If you like the curiosity, attention seeking  and energy of an Aussie, you are going to love Joshua. This 1 year old is 38 compact pounds and he is immediately ready to love you and be your best sidekick in life. He is very personable and friendly, and will run circles around everyone in the room.  Immediately you know this is one smart boy. In less than 2 hours from arriving at his foster home, he learned how to use the doggie door to get in and out, and has had zero accidents in the house. And talking about LOVE?  He loves toys. At least twice a day, he empties out the dog toy box, and wants to play with each and every one of them. Joshua really enjoys being around people, and at any given moment, may pop onto your lap without you even knowing he’s nearby. On the occasions that he is still, he does like to be in the lap of, or nearby, his foster people. If you stop petting him, he’ll take your hand in his mouth to remind you what your main mission is at the moment.....to pet him. He loves to be talked to, and in true to Aussie form, will follow you wherever you go. Joshua also enjoys the company of other dogs and will always be the guy that tries to get playtime started. And did we mention how handsome he is? A gorgeous Chestnut Red and lighter red and white, this boy has all the charm and looks that will make the girls swoon! He’s been neutered, chipped, and fully vetted. Other important things to know about Joshua are:  He is not a big barker. He usually just barks after his foster dog brother and sister start it up, and he will chime in. He currently spends the night in a crate. After some initial whimpering, stays quiet through the night. We’ve tried to give him free run of the house at night, but it usually ends up with him, jumping on someone’s face in the middle of the night, reminding us he wants some attention and loving pats on the head.  Joshua is a really joyful little guy, and thrives on attention and action. It’s important that his adopters understand the personalities and needs of Australian Shepherds. They are very active and curious, and require ways to release all the energy they have. So if you’re looking for a young handsome lad, who is active, loving, and personable, Joshua is your guy.     Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  He is fostered in Nashville, TN and we transport to the northeastern corridor. 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 11, 2026, 8:47 pm

Story
  This beautiful white Great Pyr/Australian Shepherd mix girl is a 6 month old cloud of love and her name is Tilly. We could not offer a nicer and sweeter 35 lbs girl that could fulfill the wish list of a family looking for a congenial, easy going and happy family dog to adopt. She is the last born in her litter that was from a stray momma who came on to a property and had her puppies..... 8 of them. The family caring for this litter of puppies has done all the right things for them.   They are dewormed and receiving parvo distemper shots and will be spayed on 9/10.  Two girls and one boy named Benny are all looking for their forever homes.  Sweet Tilly is just the nicest and easiest dog you could ever meet.   She loves all other animals that she meets and in her foster home she is around cats, donkeys, horses, a pot belly pig, other dogs of all sizes and ages and also the sweet young grandchildren of her foster mom.   This girl never has anything but love with every step she takes in life.  A smile, a contagious joy and a vibrant zest for life that propels her through the day with energy that is easy to be around and makes a smile come to your face. This girl is special and will only grow to be a 50-55 pound adult girl.  Nothing big except she will have a BIG heart to give you and your family and BIG love and kisses everyday. d Nothing else can could describe her better than the fact that she is open to new adventures and beings in her life and that this makes her an easy puzzle piece to fit in to any adopting family.   She is smart, darling and a loving girl to invite home for a life of great companionship and love.  If you would like to know more and adopt please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live, city and state please.  She is in Nashville, TN in a foster home where we are based.  We have transport available to the northeastern states every weekend.  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 11, 2026, 8:47 pm
