Story
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/8445Hey there! My name is Lion King AKA Louie. I am 100% an English Shepherd guessed to be about 8 years old.♡ I am 100% potty-trained. I will whine to let you know I want to go out. 
 ♡ I have spectacular house manners. I will wait for your permission before jumping up on the couch and I learn rules quickly. ♡ I don’t try to steal human food. (But I will stare at you with my sad puppy eyes until you sneak me a piece under the table). 
♡ I’m a gentle-giant. I am SUPER polite with cats and other dogs. I understand social cues well. ♡ I’m a total velcro dog to my chosen person. I LOVE to be around people so I’d like a family where someone is home all-day. ♡ I’m relatively low-energy. I don’t need long walks to thrive - quality time and affection is most important to me. ♡ I am the BIGGEST snuggle-bug you will ever meet. I lean my head into your hand when I want more head rubs and lay my head on your lap when I’m sleepy. ♡ I will need a home with a fenced yard. I get shy going ‘number 2’ on walks. ♡ Forget the doorbell - I will personally alert you to someone at the door.♡ I love treats so therefore - I love training! I'm very smart. I know basic commands like “sit, lie down, stay, come, and move”. I want more than anything to be the best dog ever. ♡ Big/loud/strange men sometimes scare me. Mom gives me lots of treats so that I feel safe when meeting these types of men. ♡ I always have a big smile plastered on my face. I’m just a happy, gentle, 61lbs teddy bear with an endless amount of love to give. Think we could be the right match? Apply now! I won't be available forever!

Story
Shadow is a 6 year old English shepherd. He has been our beloved family pet for years but as he has gotten older he has had a harder and harder time getting along with the other pets and many animals on our farm. We have had to make a difficult decision to give him up because he is no longer getting along with them. Other than this issue, Shadow is very sweet, well trained, laid back inside and has no destructive tendencies. What he really needs is a home where there are preferably no other pets. Shadow can stay home by himself with no problems, he doesn't chew and is perfectly horse trained. He walks on leash very well, doesn't pull. He also knows basic commands: sit, stay, lay down, come, paw etc. He needs exercise but not an excessive amount and will be happy with a few walks a day. We really want him to have the best home possible and know that he is happy and well taken care of. We just want him to be happy with his new home.

Momma Donna is a Kelpie/Heeler mix girl that gave birth 3 months ago to 8 beautiful, wonderful Heeler puppies. This girl is 2 years old and only 42 pounds.  She is amazingly smart and seems to know exactly what you are saying to her.  We think that Momma Donna would be a perfect addition to a home with children who want to play and teach a dog some good tricks and manners.  She is willing to learn anything. Momma Donna is nicely housebroken and ready for a totally great and new life.  Momma Donna just needs a place to belong.   So, do you have a front porch and a hole in your heart ready to be filled by a loving and devoted dog who wants to walk down the road with you every day?   Please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested in Momma Donna.  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.April 23, 2024, 4:30 pm

Meet Murphy, our adorable little Border Collie Mix boy puppy who was rescued from a small town shelter where he was under weight and riddled with internal parasites.  His future was very bleak but now Murphy has been treated and is a healthy, happy little guy free of parasites and gaining weight like a puppy should.  Born around November 1st, he is approximately 10 weeks old (as of Jan 5th) and weighs 12 pounds.  He is expected to reach around 40 pounds as an adult.  He is friendly with all humans (toddlers included), dogs and cats that he has been in contact with.  Murphy is curious, playful and very loveable and is quite the talker.  Murphy seems to be the most curious of his siblings.  His foster mom believes he is mixed with many different breeds that are smart and inquisitive.  If you are interested please email us 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.April 23, 2024, 4:30 pm

Story
We are trying to help this sweet girl called Bonnie Belle to find a home since her elderly parents are in failing health and cannot care for their five dogs.  Bonnie Belle is a mix of some interesting breeds.  We think she has some Aussie and maybe Boxer in her.  The Australian Shepherd trait is what makes her a protector of the yard and home when strangers approach.  She is the home security dog officer!   This girl is losing her home because her elderly parents have fallen into bad health.  Bonnie Belle is 4 years old and weighs a little over 40 pounds.  She adores people and is good with the other dogs that she spends time with in the fenced yard.  She is housebroken, affectionate and a devoted girl to her family.  If you would like to give Bonnie her next forever home, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue who is helping her 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.April 23, 2024, 4:30 pm
