Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Luna is a loving girl who is looking for a home! She's currently with our rescue partners in Louisiana but hoping to come to NJ soon with a foster or adopter.   Meet Luna – the best of both worlds!    Luna is a smart, spunky, and irresistibly lovable girl who’s ready to bring joy to her forever home! She’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly — always up for a game with her favorite toy (which she proudly carries everywhere!) but equally eager to snuggle up for movie night.   This pretty pup turns heads with her adorable mismatched ears — one black, one white — and a smile that can brighten any day. Luna walks beautifully on leash, knows how to sit, and loves car rides almost as much as she loves her humans. She’s friendly with both dogs and cats, making her the perfect addition to just about any family.   If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will fill your life with laughter, love, and maybe a few squeaky toys, Luna’s your girl.    If you’ve been dreaming of a calm, loving companion who fits right into that coastal lifestyle — Lori is your girl! Luna is fixed, microchipped and up to date on rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccines. Luna tested negative for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $450. How to Adopt Me! If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to  wag-on-inn.com . To apply, click  HERE  or on our website, go to Adoptable Pets and Adoption Application. A Wag On Inn volunteer will be in touch soon!

Story
  “Otis the Adventurer”  Otis is a handsome 3-year-old Aussie mix with a sweet heart and a curious spirit. We know his mom was an Australian Shepherd, and while Dad remains a mystery, Otis definitely inherited the intelligence and loyalty that make this breed so special. At around 45–50 pounds, he’s the perfect medium-sized companion.  Otis is the kind of dog who makes living with a dog easy. He is house trained, well-mannered, and respectful as he lives inside the home—no chewing furniture, stealing food, or getting into trouble. He’s calm for an Aussie, incredibly sweet-natured, and great with kids. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be part of the family and enjoy life alongside his people. He also gets along very well with other dogs, so he would likely thrive in a home with a canine buddy to share adventures with.  Recently after moving from his previous home, he found himself living without a privacy fenced yard.  Otis does have one little quirk—he’s an explorer at heart. If given the opportunity, he’d happily set off to see what the world has to offer! Because of that adventurous streak, a privacy fenced yard is important to keep him safe while he enjoys his outdoor time.  Currently he gets out of the non-privacy fenced yard and it is dangerous for him.  His family is worried but they cannot afford to do the proper fencing that he needs.  So.....they asked Critter Cavalry Rescue to help them find him a safe and secure home with the inescapable fence.        We are just looking for the home that Otis can thrive in safely.  Otis is a well-mannered dog just looking for a home where he can be loved, included, and kept safe while still enjoying the fresh air and sunshine he loves. In return, you’ll get a loyal, gentle, well-behaved companion who will happily spend his days by your side.  We think he is the best choice for a family not wanting a puppy who is in the chewing and puppy antic stage of life.  If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing dog with a little adventurous spirit, Otis may be the perfect match.   Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Tell us where you live, city and state.  We adopt to Tennessee residents, where our rescue is based and we have a transport company that takes adopted dogs to the northeastern region to adopting families almost every weekend.  Please let us know where you live when asking about Otis.       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 8, 2026, 9:04 pm

Story
Meet Finnegan, Dawson, and Dixie — three adorable puppies learning the ropes of life in foster care! At just 3 months old, these little ones are settling into their foster home and discovering how great life can be. They are great with other dogs and love being around humans, always happy to get attention and playtime.We truly have no idea what breed mix they are, but our best guess is that they may have some Australian Shepherd in the mix based on their looks and fluffy coats. Whatever they are, they are absolutely adorable!Finnegan is the largest of the trio at about 12 pounds. He’s also the fluffiest and full of classic puppy energy. Finnegan loves to play, explore, and keep the fun going.Dawson is the other boy. He’s white, fluffy, and playful, and weighs about 7 pounds. He’s a sweet pup who enjoys romping around and being part of the action.Dixie is the little lady of the group, weighing about 7 pounds as well. She has a beautiful mix of brown coloring and is just as sweet as she is pretty.These pups are doing great in foster care and, like all young puppies, they are learning about house training, routines, and how to be the best companions they can be.If you’d like to add one of these sweet pups to your family, apply at bcaaofnj.org to meet Finnegan, Dawson, or Dixie!
