Story

🐾 Rue – The Brilliant, High‑Drive Australian Shepherd with AKC Papers Meet Rue, a stunning full‑blooded Australian Shepherd with AKC papers and the kind of intelligence and energy that make this breed so extraordinary. He will turn two years old on April 24, 2026, and he’s ready for a home that truly understands what a working‑minded dog needs to thrive. Rue is an active, athletic boy who absolutely requires a secure, fenced‑in yard where he can run, explore, and burn off his energy safely. He does not try to jump fences, but he does need room to move. He’s incredibly smart and already off‑leash trained—he’ll return to you with the blow of a whistle, a testament to his natural drive and eagerness to work with his person. Rue currently lives with both dogs and cats and does well with respectful, balanced dogs. He’s best paired with dogs who understand boundaries and don’t overwhelm him. He’s a sensitive, high‑drive dog who needs a home that is breed‑savvy—someone who knows how to provide the right mental and physical stimulation to keep him confident, calm, and fulfilled. Without that structure, he can become anxious or destructive, not because he’s “bad,” but because he’s incredibly intelligent and under‑challenged in his current environment. Rue is heartworm positive but is already on a slow‑kill protocol and doing well. With continued care and a stable routine, he has every chance at a long, healthy life. He would thrive with: A knowledgeable Australian Shepherd or herding‑breed adopter A fenced yard Respectful dog companions (if any) Plenty of exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation A calm, confident handler who can give him structure Rue is located in Windsor, VA, but he can be transported to a loving adoptive home—a transport fee may apply depending on distance. Rue is a truly exceptional dog with enormous potential in the right hands. He’s loyal, smart, eager to learn, and deeply bonded to his people once he trusts them. For the right adopter, he’s worth his weight in gold. His adoption fee is $500. If you’re ready to give Rue the active, structured, and loving home he deserves, he’s ready to give you his whole heart in return.

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Marielle — the quiet spark with the soulful eyes and the heart just waiting to shine. Born on December 4th, this stunning Aussie mix girl is the perfect blend of softness and spirit. At first glance, you’ll notice her gentle, observant nature. She’s the kind of puppy who studies you carefully, tilts her head just slightly, and takes a moment to decide if you’re “her person.” But once she does? Game over. You belong to her forever. Marielle isn’t the life-of-the-party puppy crashing through the room — she’s the one who forms deep, meaningful bonds. She thrives in a home where love is steady and predictable. A loud, chaotic household with lots of tiny, fast-moving humans may feel overwhelming to her sensitive soul. But a family with a couple of older, kind-hearted kids who understand patience? That would be her sweet spot. In her foster home, Marielle enjoys the company of other dogs and clearly gains confidence from them. A friendly canine sibling could be the perfect role model and built-in best friend. She hasn’t met cats yet, but her calm, thoughtful personality suggests she would likely adapt just fine with slow introductions and guidance. When fully grown, Marielle should be around 40 pounds — a wonderful medium size that’s big enough for outdoor adventures and small enough to curl up in your lap when she thinks you’re not looking. And trust us, she will try to curl up in your lap. This precious girl doesn’t need the whole world. She just needs her world — a patient heart, a cozy spot to land, and someone willing to see the beauty in a shy beginning. Give her that, and you’ll watch her blossom into the most loyal, loving companion you could ever imagine. Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested. She is currently fostered in Nashville, TN and we adopt locally and also transport to the northeastern region/states. 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.comFebruary 27, 2026, 9:01 pm

TINK

Australian Shepherd

Female, Adult

Norfolk, VA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tink’s story didn’t begin the way any young dog’s should — but we believe her best chapter is still waiting to be written very soon now that she is in the care of Critter Cavalry Rescue. At just two years old, this striking blue-eyed Australian Shepherd girl has already experienced motherhood and heartbreak. She gave birth to a litter of puppies on Thanksgiving Day, nurturing them with devotion. But by Valentine’s weekend, her own world changed. When her owner suffered a stroke and was hospitalized in ICU, Tink was left confined inside a camper for four long days, alone and unsure. It would be understandable if that experience made her fearful or withdrawn. Instead, Tink emerged gentle, loving, and incredibly devoted to people. Currently weighing 38 pounds (and needing about five more to reach her ideal weight), Tink is a petite Aussie with a soft and gentle temperament and a playful streak. She absolutely adores children and has a naturally sweet, careful way about her. She loves playing fetch, going on walks, and burning off her energy in a securely fenced yard — which is a must for this active, intelligent breed. Tink is mostly housebroken and simply needs the consistency of a routine. She does well in a crate and walks nicely on leash. We are currently evaluating her with other submissive dogs, as a recent attempt to pair her with a strong alpha female was not a good fit — which is understandable after all she’s been through. She may truly shine as the center of someone’s world. Tink has proven she is resilient. She has proven she is loving. Now she just needs someone who will prove to her that she will never be left behind again. If you feel your home might be the safe and steady future this beautiful girl deserves, please email Critter Cavalry at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell us your city and state. Tink is ready to begin again — this time, forever. 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.

STUNNING STELLA

Australian Shepherd

Female, Adult

Norfolk, VA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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

PUPPY TENDER TEDDY

Australian Shepherd

Male, Puppy

Norfolk, VA

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Tender Teddy is exactly what his name promises — pure sweetness wrapped in the softest black and white curls you’ve ever seen. Born on December 4th as one of eleven puppies, this handsome Aussie mix boy may be a bit of a mystery when it comes to his lineage. We never met his mom, but we’re told she was a petite 35-pound brown and white girl with short fur — and these fluffy babies clearly took after their handsome daddy! With his luxurious, curly coat and soulful eyes, Teddy is going to grow into one stunning dog — likely around 40 pounds full grown. But what truly makes him special isn’t his looks… it’s his heart. This boy is extraordinarily loving and calm for a puppy. Teddy gently licks other dogs and puppies as if he’s blessing them with kindness. When you carry him, he gazes into your eyes like you are the most important person in the world. He adores being held like a baby and melts right into you. His peaceful, tender spirit is something you don’t see every day. Teddy is confident in new environments and did beautifully at YMCA Puppy Yoga this past week — soaking up attention and calmly enjoying every moment. He isn’t fearful; he simply wants to connect and love. He is crate trained and is working on housebreaking (as expected for his young age). He’ll be ready for adoption on March 6th and is eager to find a family who will treasure his affectionate, easygoing nature. Critter Cavalry Rescue transports from Nashville, TN to six northeastern stops to meet adopters and their new best friends. If you’re ready for a calm, cuddly, devoted companion, email ccrnewengland@gmail.com ASAP. Tender Teddy is ready to steal your heart. 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.comFebruary 25, 2026, 2:27 pm
