Story
PLEASE NOTE: Shelby would thrive in an active home that can keep up with her & provide plenty of mental & physical enrichment. I will no longer be working remote & won’t be able to provide Shelby the attention & lifestyle she needs. The ideal home would be with someone who works remote or is retired & doesn’t have other pets or small children. Although, she does well with other animals & people, she is used to getting 1:1 attention for the past 6 yrs. Shelby is super smart, highly energetic, loves to play with her herding balls, enjoys chasing u around the yard, plays hide & seek & is excellent at catching balls! She is extremely affectionate & loves to snuggle, will roll-over for belly rubs & will demand more kisses & cuddles. She will gently paw at ur legs or nudge ur hand w. her snout, when looking for attention. She enjoys the outdoors, especially the snow but also likes to bask in the sun. To learn more, please reach out for the rest of the bio as I ran out of space.

Story
  Gizmo is the very definition of bravery, resilience, and second chances. At just 18 months old and a tiny 10 pounds, this Miniature Aussie mix carries a story far bigger than his size. He is a breathtaking tri-color boy with a fluffy tail and the most unforgettable face — one deep chocolate brown eye and one sparkling blue eye that seems to hold an entire journey inside it. Gizmo came from a heartbreaking situation — over 200 dogs crammed into a tiny home and outdoor kennels by a backyard breeder. He was just a number there. Overlooked. Under-loved. His natural shyness became his shield, keeping him safe but also keeping love at a distance.   But then everything changed.   His foster family patiently worked their way into his guarded little heart, and once he realized he was safe, he opened up in the most beautiful way. While he can still be shy in new environments, with a little patience and kindness he blossoms. And when he trusts you? He is loyal beyond measure. He has chosen the dad in his foster home as “his person,” and he will happily follow him from room to room like the devoted little shadow he is.Gizmo is fully housebroken and an absolute champion on a leash. Like many Australian Shepherds, he is incredibly intelligent and eager to learn. He loves being outdoors — soaking up the sunshine in a securely fenced yard or patio and enjoying peaceful walks on a quiet street. A calm home environment would help him thrive. He does wonderfully with dogs and cats of all sizes, but he would also be perfectly content as your one-and-only companion. He’s a quiet little guy who loves his treats, enjoys curling up in his cozy bed to watch TV with his humans, and simply wants to belong.   If you’ve ever wanted to be part of a true rescue “rags to riches” story, Gizmo is waiting. His journey includes a recent miracle that will absolutely amaze you — and we would love to share it with serious adopters. To learn more about this incredible little survivor, please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Gizmo is ready for the next chapter of his beautiful life.   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.comMarch 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
Cody's a great dog full of energy and always wants to play. He loves the outdoors and once he knows you he will follow you everywhere. He is house trained and will let you know when he needs to go outside. I would like to find a good a home for him with someone that is experienced dog owner, has a yard so he can run around and play. I will happily bring him out to meet you for a formal introduction. My schedule is hectic so I feel sad that I don't have as much time for him as before. He is loving and carrying he is like family so he needs the same love and carrying from his new family.
