Story

🐾 Chip 🐾 Mini Australian Shepherd | Neutered Male | Approx. 1 Year Old | Brown & White Chip is a young Mini Aussie who originally came from a backyard breeding situation. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan stepped in to rescue him. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, she was unable to keep him long term, and Chip was placed in our care so he could find a stable, loving forever home. Chip is very nervous and is still decompressing. He hasn’t fully shown his personality yet, but we know with time, patience, and consistency, his true self will emerge. He previously lived with other dogs, so we believe he does well with canine companions. He has been around a child in the past but has not been cat tested. 🩺 Current Medical Status: • Neutered • Dewormed • Rabies vaccinated • Treated for fleas 🕒 Adoption Readiness: Chip will not be ready for adoption for another 3–4 weeks while he completes his vetting. Once adoption-ready, Chip will be: • Rabies vaccinated • Distemper (DHPP) vaccinated • Leptospirosis vaccinated • Bordetella vaccinated • Microchipped • Heartworm tested 🏡 Ideal Home: Chip would do best in a calm, patient home that understands fearful dogs and is willing to let him adjust at his own pace. A home with another friendly, confident dog may help him feel more secure. 📍 Interested in Chip? You’re welcome to submit an application now and note your interest in Chip. Once he is fully vetted and ready, approved applicants will be contacted. 👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog

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

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! 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.comJanuary 12, 2026, 9:57 am

STUNNING STELLA

Australian Shepherd

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.) July 30, 2025, 9:47 pm
