Story

🌟 Adoption Spotlight: Jet 🌟 *Needs experienced adopter* Meet Jet, a stunning 1-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd who weighs just 15 lbs fully grown. Don’t let his size fool you—Jet is full of personality and quirks, and he’s looking for a very special adopter who can give him the patient, experienced home he deserves. Jet came to us from a backyard breeding case but was originally rescued by a Good Samaritan who gave him a safe place when he needed it most. Unfortunately, due to financial struggles, she was unable to keep him long term, but her greatest wish is for him to find a home that will love and understand him for who he is. 🐾 Personality & Behavior Jet is a nervous, cautious boy who was not well socialized as a puppy. Because of this, he can be a bite risk if he feels overwhelmed or cornered. He’s not the type of dog who immediately seeks out cuddles—instead, he prefers to do his own thing, especially when outside. Once he builds trust, he can be incredibly sweet and will show you glimpses of his loving side, even offering his paw for attention. He is: Not suitable for a home with children (he startles easily and is uncomfortable with fast movements). Previously lived in a home with cats, but we have not retested him here—so any introductions should be slow and careful. Indifferent to other dogs—he doesn’t seek them out but also doesn’t go looking for trouble. Very vocal, which makes him unsuitable for apartment living. Jet also has the quirk of being a submissive pee-er, which will need patience and gentle handling. While he was previously in a home and is likely potty trained, adopters should expect some retraining in the first week as he transitions from kennel life. 🏡 Ideal Home for Jet Jet needs a calm, child-free home with adopters who have experience with herding breeds or shy, anxious dogs. His adopter should be someone who: Understands that building trust will take time. Can provide structure, routine, and positive reinforcement. Is open to consulting a vet about anxiety medication, as it may help him thrive. Can give him mental stimulation (training, puzzles, structured play) since Aussies are naturally intelligent and active. Jet is not a dog who will immediately settle into family outings or busy social lives—he is more of a homebody who will flourish in a quieter environment with the right person. 🩺 Medical & Care Jet is: Neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated (Rabies, Distemper, Lepto, Bordetella). Heartworm tested negative. On monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Treated for fleas and dewormed. At just 1 year old, Jet has his whole life ahead of him—but he needs someone willing to meet him where he is and help him grow into the wonderful companion we know he can be. ❤️Jet is not just a pretty face—though he is absolutely beautiful, it’s important that adopters look past his looks and see the sensitive soul behind them. With time, patience, and love, Jet could be your most loyal companion. 📍 Located in Louisa County, VA 📧 Email: adoptions@hoovesandpaws.org 📝 Apply: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog

Story

In 2023 I adopted Max when he was 2 years old, he is now 4! His birthday is September 4th, 2021. He has a ton of energy so someone who is active is ideal. I would like to see Max be able to have a yard where he can play and have an owner that will be able to keep up with his active lifestyle!

Story

Maya (known as Sydney in her foster home of 4 months) is a beautiful, smart, gentle and sweet girl. She is very loving, playful, eager to please, and house-trained. She has a very short tail and when she sees someone she loves, her whole body wiggles! She is very intelligent and quickly learned the names of her various toys and often figures out what you want her to do before you even ask. She loves to be outside in the yard with her person and her canine buddy; walks in the neighborhood she likes, but walks in the woods she loves. She wants to be your best friend and do everything you ask, but sometimes the world is a little too scary for her. She can be slow to warm up to new people and places, and likes to have a "safe space" all her own. She is cautiously happy to meet most women and some men, but she is timid with older men. She therefore is unlikely to do well in a home that includes an older man, but would likely do well in a home with a younger man. Although she has had very limited exposure, she seems fine with children. She has been fine (but shy) with the cat in her foster home. She is initially timid around most dogs, but would probably do well sharing a home with a confident, playful dog, and as you can see from the videos, once she's comfortable with another dog, she loves to run and play! Maya will need a meet and greet before proceeding with an adoption. She was rescued by HART after being surrendered to a shelter; we don't know where she lived before that. She has made steady progress coming out of her shell, but will need a person(s) who has some experience with anxious dogs and will be very patient and loving with her. Questions About this Animal?

Story

A Message From Boone — Your Milk-Chocolate Tennessee Boy Hi there, I’m Boone! I was born on July 4th in a little rural Tennessee town, and my foster mom says I’m as “sweet as milk chocolate” thanks to my Lab momma (a gorgeous dark chocolate girl) and my Australian Shepherd daddy. Somehow, I ended up looking like the best mix of both—soft, sweet, and full of love. I’m still a little guy at about 15 pounds, but I’m making up for lost time. Before coming to my foster home, I didn’t have much room to grow or explore—I spent my early life mostly in a tub and then a crate and really didn't have enough food to nourish my growing puppy body. Now that I have space to run, play, learn, and be a well-fed and loved puppy, I’m soaking it all in. Foster mom says watching me discover the world has been one of her favorite things. As I grow, I’ll likely reach around 50 pounds, with long, soft fur that will be absolutely beautiful once I’m fully grown. Right now, I’m focusing on good food, building healthy muscles, and learning what love and attention really feel like—and oh boy, do I love it. My dream home?A family that has time to show me how great life can be. A fenced yard to zoom around in, and maybe some kids to grow up with. Another dog would be amazing—I am learning lots from the adult dogs here in my foster home. I would love to have parents who love training a smart pup like me and because I am smart. I really do want to learn everything I can. I’ve started crate training, and I’m doing great with that. Leashes are still a bit confusing, but my foster mom says I’m trying so hard, and with gentle teaching I’ll soon realize walks are one of life’s best adventures. I’ll be ready to go home beginning December 12th—just in time to curl up under someone’s Christmas tree and wait for Santa with my new family. My foster parents take wonderful care of me, but I know my real home is out there. I’m hoping my next car ride will be the one that takes me to my forever family—the one who will treat me like their little prince. If that sounds like you, please reach out to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com. I’ve got Christmas kisses ready and waiting. 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.

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!
