Story
I got Mochi when he was about 10 weeks old from a Marine vet who had unplanned puppies. He's half Australian-Shepherd and half Pitt bull. He is about to turn 3 in November! He is very high energy and loves to run, fetching sticks and balls are his favorite, but if I'm just at home by myself, all he does is lay on the couch or sleep. He doesn't even bother me when I'm deep cleaning the house but he does stay away from the vacuum. I am looking for a new home for Mochi simply because of my busy schedule. I am in the Navy and sometimes it requires him to be home alone for longer periods of times than I would like, or longer times in the crate (he is crate trained, and will sleep in it with no problems). There are other times when I am sent on mission trips out of state. I love my dog and for that I believe he needs a family that is home more than I am.

Story
Meet Jimi !! **POST UPDATED!** This boy is so sweet and loving. He has a shy side but is doing outstanding with his training. He’s going to make a wonderful dog for his new family. A few updates!! He has made friends with the cat in the home, he is great with cats he just takes time to understand other pets are friends. He has also developed a love of anyone playing guitars, he enjoys a chill jam session with his buddies. He really is a special boy! Jimi is almost 3 years old male. He weighs 66 pounds and is full grown. He had DNA done and is a mix of Australian Shepherd, German Shepherd and hound. He is already neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He is thankfully heartworm negative and on monthly preventions. Jimi was adopted from us as an adorable little puppy. Sadly his family has decided not to keep him anymore so he’s come back to us to find a forever home. He has been in a wonderful foster home and he has grown so much!! He has been working hard to overcome his shyness and lack of social skills. He is very smart and doing so well. He has been a very easy houseguest and is learning so quickly. He is wonderful on car rides. He is perfect about crate training. He goes in when asked and sleeps in the crate overnight. He’s also done excellent with potty training. He’s never had an accident. He pulls on the leash at times but responds well to redirection and training. He’s great on a long line leash where he can explore. He’s picking up new commands quickly and enjoys training sessions. He’s so eager to please and make you happy. He’s extremely well behaved. This guy is an old soul for sure. He’s such a sweet sensitive guy. He loves to rest his head on your shoulder and be anywhere you are. He can be a bit needy when you’re in the room with him, but he can also hang out by himself if you’re in a separate room. When you’re near him, he likes to put his paw on you to get your attention and make sure that you’re giving him all the loving he can get. He is incredibly smart. He picked up place training in one day and can lay on his “place” bed during dinner. He is so eager to please. He’s steadily doing better with everything he’s being shown. His foster says he’s very polite and easy to have around. Jimi misses out on some important socializing as a pup. He can be reactive toward other dogs on walks (barking and some leash pulling). It’s fairly mild and he can be redirected without much trouble. He has lived with another dog before, but it would likely take slow introductions to get him to feel comfortable around a new dog. He would also do excellent for someone wanting one dog and having a fenced yard to avoid seeing other dogs on walks. We think this is mostly based in fear and being unsure of other dogs. When we went to the vet the lobby was very crowded with multiple dogs. We took a straight no stop path through them to the room and he did great. He definitely needs a confident owner to show and teach him that he’s safe in these situations. He is fostered with a cat and initially did not do well. He would bark at the cat and chase the cat away etc. After a few weeks he has now realized that the cat is safe and actually a fun friend. They hang out all the time now without issues. With Jimi it just takes him time to figure out new things are safe and okay. If you are willing to give him lots of time to acclimate to new people or pets he seems to figure it out and do well. Jimi is not fostered with children. His previous family said he did good with them, but we have not been able to verify that ourselves. He has a very sweet demeanor so we think he would do good with older kids that can give him space and time to feel safe around them. Also kids respectful enough not treat him like a toy and climb on him etc. He needs a lot of time meeting new people coming in the home so if your family has tons of new kids visiting often it may not be the best fit. He has a lower energy level. He loves a good walk but doesn’t require a ton of exercise. He’s happy to lay around with you as well. He plays with his toys and enjoys puzzle games and snuggle mats. He also loves to play ball at times. A little attention goes a long way with this sweet boy. Jimi has not shown any issues with sharing his food, treats or toys with people. He’s not fostered with other dogs so we are unsure how he would do with that. Overall this guy is going to be a super easy guy for the right setting. He’s a sweet soul that wants someone to love him forever. He’s very well behaved and ready to find his perfect person or family. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly with questions or to get an application. ** For more pics and faster response visit our facebook page.

Story
  Marley Girl is a happy, outgoing  8 year old Aussie Doodle with a heart full of love and lots of years and life left to share. This young senior girl is looking for a new home through no fault of her own because her natural herding instincts have taken over and she is chasing the chickens at her former home.  Apparently eggs are more important than sweet Marley.   This girl at 8 years is not too big and just 45 pounds and has lived with another dog during her life and also cats.  Chickens are different for dogs and so she is looking for a new place to live.  Marley is is fully house trained and potty trained, She loves riding in a car and enjoys watching the scenery go by as she rides shotgun. While Marley has a few years behind her she has so many more ahead of her. Her infectious smile only guarantees that you will be her beloved family that she will adore as an easy companion dog.  This girl is all about being a loyal, family-friendly companion who is past the puppy stage but still ready for more years of adventures, cuddles and making memories, Marley may be the perfect match for you. if you are a senior or a younger person that just wants a mellow dog to love.  Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested.     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.comAugust 23, 2026, 9:52 pm

Story
Beckett is a very handsome mini Australian Shepherd mix. He weighs about 35 lbs. This distinguished boy is a young 10-year-old. Beckett was saved from the streets of Nashville. He was abandoned and alone. Thanks to a caring lady who could not bear the thought of him spending any more time outside, Beckett is now in a loving foster home. He is under the care of Critter Cavalry.   It did not take long for this awesome gentleman to make himself at home. After meeting the resident dogs, he explored outside. He came in and found a spot to relax. He is getting along great with his new foster sisters. He is also good with cats. This super smart boy quickly learned to use the doggie door. He can now come and go as he pleases. He does prefer to be inside and likes to know where his foster mom is. Beckett is enjoying all the love and attention he is getting.   It takes him a few minutes, but he quickly warms up to new people. He just has to make sure that you are nice. Beckett is housebroken. He walks well on a leash. He also does not mind the crate and will go right in for a treat. He currently sleeps in his crate, but we think he would love to cuddle up right next to you.   If you are interested in adopting Beckett, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311 to request an application. The adoption process requires submitting an application, having it approved, and paying an adoption fee. Beckett is neutered, up to date on all shots, microchipped, and currently in Tennessee. He can be transported north upon adoption.August 23, 2026, 9:52 pm

She is the best. We love her. Unfortunately my husband and I have zero puppy experience and bit off more than we can chew. We have a three year old and a baby on the way and it’s just too much because we both work. She is crate trained great. Almost housebroken but needs more time than we can provide unfortunately. We want her to have the best life possible and we are not sure if it’s with us.

Meet George and Myssi! These two love to get out an explore. They are both very social and will likely want pets from everyone you meet. George and Myssi are food-motivated and know several treats to get you to give up the goods. They have some interest in toys, but would rather sniff around and meet new people. George and Myssi are both house and crate-trained. This duo is a package deal!
