Story

Gypsy (12) is a loving and loyal companion who thrives in a calm, patient home. She was abandoned to me by her previous owner. She is wonderful with kids and does very well with cats, making her a great fit for a family environment. She is truly a shadow dog; she loves to be close to her person, often curling up beside you and happily warming your feet. She enjoys walks, being outdoors, and especially loves playing in the water. Loyal, affectionate, and deeply connected to her owner, Gypsy will flourish in a home where she feels secure, loved, and understood. She would do especially well in a household with kids and/or cats, where she can be the center of attention and companionship. She can be fearful around other dogs, so she would do best as the only dog in the home with an owner who has the patience to help her feel safe and build confidence at her own pace. With time and understanding, she forms deep bonds and becomes incredibly devoted. Located in 21758

Story

Sydney is an 8 year old female Australian shepherd, german shepherd, and staffordshire terrier mix. Looking for a calm, adult only home. She is timid at first, but warms up over time and enjoys being pet but not cuddled. She does well in a predictable home environment and has been good with the children in her current household. However, she has a protective nature and has shown reactivity toward unfamiliar people, particularly when she perceives her owner is being approached or when other children move quickly around her. She has given warning bites in the past in these situations. Because of this, she must go to a home: - Without children - With experienced dog owners familiar with reactive protective dogs - That can provide with limited visitors She would likely do best with someone patient who can continue to build her confidence and manage introductions carefully. She is not aggressive without reason, but she does not the right environment to feel safe.

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.) March 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

GIZMO

Australian Shepherd

Male, Adult

Hagerstown, MD

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Gizmo is the very definition of bravery, resilience, and second chances. At just 18 months old and a tiny 10 pounds, this Miniature Aussie mix carries a story far bigger than his size. He is a breathtaking tri-color boy with a fluffy tail and the most unforgettable face — one deep chocolate brown eye and one sparkling blue eye that seems to hold an entire journey inside it. Gizmo came from a heartbreaking situation — over 200 dogs crammed into a tiny home and outdoor kennels by a backyard breeder. He was just a number there. Overlooked. Under-loved. His natural shyness became his shield, keeping him safe but also keeping love at a distance. But then everything changed. His foster family patiently worked their way into his guarded little heart, and once he realized he was safe, he opened up in the most beautiful way. While he can still be shy in new environments, with a little patience and kindness he blossoms. And when he trusts you? He is loyal beyond measure. He has chosen the dad in his foster home as “his person,” and he will happily follow him from room to room like the devoted little shadow he is.Gizmo is fully housebroken and an absolute champion on a leash. Like many Australian Shepherds, he is incredibly intelligent and eager to learn. He loves being outdoors — soaking up the sunshine in a securely fenced yard or patio and enjoying peaceful walks on a quiet street. A calm home environment would help him thrive. He does wonderfully with dogs and cats of all sizes, but he would also be perfectly content as your one-and-only companion. He’s a quiet little guy who loves his treats, enjoys curling up in his cozy bed to watch TV with his humans, and simply wants to belong. If you’ve ever wanted to be part of a true rescue “rags to riches” story, Gizmo is waiting. His journey includes a recent miracle that will absolutely amaze you — and we would love to share it with serious adopters. To learn more about this incredible little survivor, please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Gizmo is ready for the next chapter of his beautiful life. 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 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

PUPPY ROONEY

Australian Shepherd Poodle (Standard)

Male, Young

Hagerstown, MD

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

From the very beginning, Rooney stood out as something special. Born the week after Thanksgiving as one of eleven puppies, there was just something about this little guy that made everyone pause and smile. With his handsome face and wonderfully wild, fluffy hair, Rooney has a way of bringing laughter and light wherever he goes. He’s the kind of puppy who quietly captures your heart. Rooney is incredibly sweet, charming, and full of that joyful puppy energy that makes every day brighter. He loves to cuddle just as much as he loves to play, and his foster family will tell you that he brings endless smiles with his silly moments and gentle affection. Rooney had a DNA test done and it revealed a wonderful mix of mostly Poodle and Australian Shepherd. The result is a smart, loving pup with a curious mind and a soft, devoted nature. He is already crate trained and mostly housebroken, which is quite impressive for such a young boy. While Rooney can be a calm and thoughtful little soul at times, he absolutely lights up when he’s around other young dogs. That’s when the zoomies come out and the fun begins. He truly loves company and thrives on being part of the action. Rooney is expected to grow into a perfect medium-sized companion at around 35 pounds one day. He is the kind of dog who will grow alongside his family, sharing adventures, quiet moments, and years of unconditional love. If you are looking for a puppy who will become a once-in-a-lifetime companion, Rooney may be the one you’ve been waiting for. If you are interested in adopting Rooney, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.

STUNNING STELLA

Australian Shepherd

Female, Adult

Hagerstown, MD

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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.) March 7, 2026, 12:24 pm
