Story
  Meet Hazel, a truly special girl with both beauty and brilliance wrapped into one stunning package. This gorgeous 2-year-old, 75-pound English Shepherd mix was found as a stray in a neighborhood, and sadly, no one ever came looking for her. Their loss is about to be someone else’s greatest gift.   Hazel is a head-turner with her soft, long fur and graceful presence — but it’s her spirit that really shines. She’s full of joyful, puppy-like energy and loves nothing more than zooming around the yard with a toy proudly carried in her mouth. Watching her play is pure happiness.   This girl is incredibly intelligent, the kind of dog who thrives when given guidance and purpose. She wants to learn, wants to grow, and has all the potential to become the confident, well-trained QUEEN she was meant to be. Training her won’t feel like work — it will feel like bonding.   Hazel is crate trained, housebroken, wonderful with cats, great with other dogs, and loves people of all ages. She’s looking for a home with a fenced yard and a family who appreciates larger breeds and enjoys helping a smart dog reach her full potential.   Hazel is a diamond in the rough — loyal, loving, and ready to shine.If you’re looking for a dog who will grow with your family and reward you tenfold, Hazel may be your perfect match.   Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com.   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

Story
Meet Milo!This handsome Border Collie mix went from neglect survivor to professional treat-catcher extraordinaire. Milo was living with dogs, cats, and a chicken in rough conditions, but is now living the good life — mastering “sit,” “shake,” and “snag a treat midair” like a champ. He’s super friendly, good with other dogs, kids, cats and always ready to show off his skills (especially if snacks are involved). Basically, Milo’s the goodest boy with Olympic-level snack reflexes.Milo had to have surgery on his knee and is recovering nicely in a foster home. There, he has proven that he is house-trained and extremely well-mannered. Milo would be an excellent addition to any home!For more information about Milo please fill out an adoption application at www.hsfc.org or contact us at farm@hsfc.org
