Please submit application from Suffolk Humane's website. www.SuffolkHumaneSociety.com . Application, fee of $210, home visit and vet reference apply. Applicant will receive call from foster to discuss. APPLICATION IS REQUIRED Prince is a 3 year old mini-Australian Shepherd weighing 23 lbs. He is housebroken, but petrified of crates. He is currently in foster with a trainer to help with fears from his past life. This dog will take immense patience, consistency, calmness and a very gentle but firm hand. He will become a velcro dog with time and following instructions from the trainer. Prince loves to play fetch, chase the water from the water hose and run zoomies in the backyard. He also enjoys car rides and spending quiet time with his human. Prince is a shy pup who will do best with someone who truly understands the breed. He is good with small dogs but is too shy for larger dogs and small children. He is a playful pup who enjoys at least two short walks a day and needs a fenced backyard to play fetch and run his zoomies. Like all shepherds, he will alert you when someone is at the door or at the property but will quiet down when told to do so. He is a smart dog and loves to learn new things and visit new places.

Story
Meet Ghost Girl❤️ Ghost Girl is a sweet, silly, incredibly affectionate girl whose favorite place in the world is right next to her person. This Aussie/Cattle Mix girl is 2.5 years and weighs 30-35 pounds and she is the definition of a Velcro dog—she loves cuddling, being held, getting pets, and following her favorite humans from room to room. If you’re looking for a dog who truly wants to be your best friend, Ghost is your girl! She has the cutest goofy side, too. Ghost loves running around the yard, playing chase, getting the zoomies, and doing her little spins when she gets excited. She’s also VERY treat motivated and will happily work for snacks! Ghost is house trained and crate trained and would absolutely love a home with a secure fenced yard. She’s much more of a backyard-zoomies girl than a long-walk girl—the busy outside world can sometimes be a little overwhelming for her, and she’s happiest running and playing somewhere familiar and secure. Ghost would love to be your one-and-only pet and soak up all the attention for herself. Other dogs can make her uncomfortable, so a home where she doesn’t have to share her space with other animals will allow her to relax and be her happiest self. She has lived with a toddler and newborn and absolutely adores her little humans. She has been incredibly loving and gentle with them. When meeting children she doesn’t know, she appreciates a calmer introduction rather than lots of excitement all at once, so a quieter home or one with older children would be a great fit. She also would do best as the only dog in the family and not sharing any spotlight with others.  More than anything, Ghost wants her person. Give her a safe yard to run in, plenty of treats, a comfy place to cuddle, and someone to follow around all day, and she’ll give you an incredible amount of love in return. ❤️ Ghost is looking for someone who wants a loyal little shadow, professional cuddle buddy, backyard zoomie champion, and best friend all rolled into one. Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 12, 2026, 1:24 pm

Story
Pretty Peaches Aussie/Beagle mix.   This pretty little freckled face girl with innocent face of a fairy princess is called Pretty Peaches.  A little girl that was found with her sister as two stray pups that seemed to have been discarded by someone that had an accidental litter at their house.  Peaches is one of those sensitive souls that hangs back just a little before deciding if she wants to join in on all the shenanigans of the other groups of pups.  She is a quiet girl that warms soon and then let loose with all the natural puppy antics that she simply releases in small doses.  Guessing that she is about 4 months old, this little girl weighs 15 pounds and has the most adorable long body on fairly short legs.  She is very gentle and sweet and would be an extremely good snuggle buddy for a child 10 years and older.  She likes the more thoughtful age of children that are not  zooming all over the house pretending to be a Marvel Action Character.   This girl will sweetly sit on your lap or lay next to you.  But don't get us wrong.  She also loves to be a 'dog' and dig in the yard as if to help you perhaps plant a few rose bushes before the frost  of winter arrives.  Our Pretty little Peaches will perhaps grow to be a 30 pound girl as life takes her toward adulthood soon.  She will be short in stature but tall in kindness and a spirit of curiosity and peaceful pleasures as a pampered house dog and companion.   Save a pillow for Peaches!!!   Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.  Please let us know where you live when inquiring.  She is currently in Nashville, TN and can of course be adopted locally but can also be placed in the right home in the northeast due to easy transportation availability.November 12, 2026, 1:24 pm

Story
  Meet Bailey Girl— All She Needs Is a Chance ❤️ Bailey Girl is a beautiful 27-pound female 18 month old Mini Aussie mix with a story that will break your heart—but the little dog she is becoming will put it right back together.       Bailey Girl was abandoned during extremely hot weather when someone placed her inside a school playground with no way to get out. Tragically, she wasn’t discovered until the following Monday when the school reopened. Someone had reportedly witnessed her being left there but did not notify anyone. We may never understand why she was abandoned that way, but we do know one thing: her story does not have to end where it began. Today, Bailey Girl is safe in a loving foster home, and she is doing beautifully. ❤️ It took her only a couple of days to begin trusting her foster, and now she has become her little shadow. She does well with other dogs and cats, walks on a leash, and can even be left loose in the home with the other dogs while her foster is at work. Bailey Girl is still working on becoming completely house trained, but she is extremely intelligent and continues to learn. She enjoys having a yard where she can run and as her confidence and trust have grown, she happily comes back to her foster when called. Because Bailey Girl can be somewhat fearful of children, we believe she would be happiest in a home without children, where she can feel secure and develop a strong bond with her person or family. Bailey may need a little more patience in the beginning than some dogs. You have to earn her trust—but once you do, something very special happens. She begins to understand that she is safe. She follows you. She looks to you for reassurance. And before long, you realize you haven’t just gained a dog—you’ve gained a devoted little sidekick. A word of advice please.  Bailey Girl needs someone who won’t expect everything from her on the first day. She needs love, patience, kindness, and time. Give her the opportunity to understand that you aren’t going anywhere, and she will give that love and devotion right back to you. ❤️ Bailey may very well become the dog you talk about for the rest of your life. Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you would like to make her a part of your world and life.  She has already experienced what it feels like to be left behind. Now it’s time for this beauty to discover what it feels like to be chosen—and never abandoned again. ❤️   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.comNovember 12, 2026, 1:24 pm

Story
Meet our most handsome Remy!  This Australian Shepherd mix is a loving, 2 year old, 62 lb, boy who is searching for a dog focused family that will spend lots of time with him.  He delights in being with his favorite people and we are looking for a family or situation that will not leave him home alone a lot.  A work from home family or stay at home mom with teens. He is crate trained, house trained, and has completed 2 weeks of basic obedience training.  He learned heel, sit, down, stay, and come. He was a favorite of the staff!  Remy has gotten along with the other dogs in his foster home who are about his same size, as well as a playmate at Doggie Daycare.  Remy would not be a good fit with cats as he wants to chase them.  A large fenced yard would be best so he can safely run and play with plenty of room, but he also loves being indoors with his family. . A home with adults or teens would be best because of his size and playfulness.  This is a boy that has started a wonderful road of polishing his manners and his behaviors and is going to good places for his future.  Are you the family to take him the rest of the way home?   Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.  Please tell us where you live; city and state.  November 12, 2026, 1:24 pm

Story
Koda is an 8 month old male border collie. He came from a breeder in MO. He is an extremely bright boy, as most border collies are. His favorite things in life are belly rubs and chasing his herding ball around the yard. He has had some formal training but only on basic commands, sit, come, down, place, heel. He has been around children as young as 10 and has not had a problem. I have not seen him try to nip kids. He needs a place where he can have a job to do. I got him to work agility and frisbee with him but have not had time to work with him as I wanted due to unforeseen circumstances. He is good with all of my other dogs except one other intact male.
