Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Ben is a happy, fun-loving 1-year-old who brings all the enthusiasm you’d expect from a young pup. With his Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd mix, he’s the perfect blend of brains, loyalty, and playful personality. This guy loves his toys and is always up for a game, a romp in the yard, or a new adventure. Like many young dogs, Ben can get a little over-excited when he’s happy and may jump, so he would do best in a home without small children. A securely fenced yard is a must so he has plenty of space to run, play, and burn off that youthful energy. Once he’s had his fun, Ben’s softer side shines through. He’s incredibly affectionate and enjoys cuddling up with his people, soaking in all the love and attention he can get. With continued training, consistency, and structure, Ben is sure to grow into an amazing lifelong companion. If you’re ready for an energetic, affectionate young dog who will keep you smiling and active, Ben could be the perfect addition to your family.  Medical Notes: Neutered Vaccinated Dewormed Microchipped Heartworm Negative ProHeart 12 Injection Maintained on monthly flea/tick preventatives Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 10, 2026, 4:56 pm

Story
  Mrs. Colley Ray is an absolute treasure — an 8-year-old Border Collie with a joyful spirit, a gentle soul, and a lifetime of love still ahead of her. She spent her early years adored by an elderly couple who treated her like family, complete with car rides, shared meals, and the occasional McDonald’s burger just because it made her happy. When her owners could no longer care for her, Mrs. Colley Ray gracefully stepped into a new life. She now lives in an active foster home with children, dogs, adults, and small livestock, and she fits right in like she’s always been there. She is calm, friendly, and deeply affectionate — especially when there’s a cozy couch and someone willing to share it. Currently weighing around 80 pounds and losing steadily, Mrs. Colley Ray is eager for a home that will help her continue her wellness journey. She loves retrieving balls, enjoys nice long walks, and thrives with positive routines that keep her active and engaged. Her goal weight is 50 pounds, and she’s already proving she’s committed to getting there. She is fully house trained, crate trained, and a wonderfully well-mannered family dog. Mrs. Colley Ray is happy, confident, and ready for the next chapter — one filled with movement, laughter, and love done the healthy way. We promised her previous owners that she would find a home worthy of her devotion, and we believe that home is out there. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will enrich your life every single day, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Mrs. Colley Ray is truly unforgettable.            ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.January 12, 2026, 6:51 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!   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.

Story
Hi, my name is Blaze, and I’m looking for my furever home! I am currently being fostered in Nashville, TN. I am an Australian Shepherd, 4 1/2 years old and weigh approximately 70 lbs. I am neutered, vetted, microchipped, and fully up-to-date on shots. I came from a family with another dog and a child, but they unfortunately moved and could not take me. I have the sweetest face and eyes. My foster mom even accidentally calls me ‘Bear’ sometimes because I can be like a big teddy bear but with gentle petting and no rough play. Sometimes the neighbors even say I look like Beethoven from the 90s movie. I may be a little distrustful of strangers at first (I might even bark), but once I know there is no danger, I just want love and to hang around my humans. I’ll follow you room-to-room, but I have no desire to get on the furniture or the bed. If you need me to go to my crate, just tell me to and I’ll do it! My favorite place to sleep is on the floor next to your bed. I know how to “sit” very well. I am a very sweet cuddlebug but I do get nervous and howl when left alone in a new place. After a few days, I’m usually good! I LOVE to go on walks, and step right into my harness with joy but because of my size, I tire out easily so I prefer short to medium-length walks. Keep working with me and I’ll get stronger! I also have trouble sometimes because my back leg and knees have some arthritis. I will benefit from some joint supplements. I’m good on a leash, but sometimes I like to chase birds! I’ve had a foster brother for the past three weeks and we tolerate each other. We do fine together, until he tries to steal my toys… then I growl at him. I’ve learned to play tug of war with my humans and I am a big fan. I’ll also enjoy chasing a ball or toy that I can bring back to you. I’d probably thrive in a home with a small family or even a single person. I’m protective, but I do love meeting new people. Please fill out this application if you want your home to be Blaze’s furever home! https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/old-adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Story
Meet Venus Just like her name, Venus is pure beauty inside and out. This 1-year-old sweetheart has the softest eyes and a gentle soul that will quietly steal your heart. Venus is exceptionally dog-friendly and loves having canine friends by her side. She absolutely adores kids and truly shines around them—gentle, loving, and happiest when surrounded by their laughter. She’s also eager to learn and wants so badly to do the right thing, making her a wonderful candidate for continued training and confidence-building. Venus can be very shy around men. While we don’t know her past, we believe she may have experienced something difficult involving a male, so she’ll need patience, kindness, and understanding. With time and gentle reassurance, Venus begins to trust—and when she does, her love is deep, loyal, and incredibly special. She’s searching for a calm, loving home that will let her move at her own pace and show her what safety and unconditional love truly mean. In return, Venus will offer quiet companionship, sweet moments, and a heart full of devotion. If you believe the most beautiful bonds are built with patience and love, Venus may be the one you’ve been waiting for ##2620615##
