Story
She is a sweet, silly, quirky girl who is very athletic but also snuggly and fun. She makes the cutest "awoo" sounds when excited. She is extremely clever and loves to learn. 1 year 9 month old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix 34 lbs Spayed She lives with another young female dog and they play together very well. She will do best with another young dog as a companion in her new home. She has some training. Knows sit, down, leave it, stay, and come and likes her crate. Loves treats, food motivated, and is house and crate trained. She can jump our 4 ft fence easily and likes to chase bunnies and squirrels. We cannot have a higher fence so she has to be leash walked for all potty outings which we feel is not fair to her. She needs space to run and play and chase and be her best self! For this reason, she will require a six foot fenced yard. She needs a home with no children or children over 13 years old. She is a lovely dog and we want her to live her best life!

Story
  Mrs. Colley Ray is an absolute treasure — an 8-year-old Border Collie with a joyful spirit, a gentle soul, and a lifetime of love still ahead of her. She spent her early years adored by an elderly couple who treated her like family, complete with car rides, shared meals, and the occasional McDonald’s burger just because it made her happy. When her owners could no longer care for her, Mrs. Colley Ray gracefully stepped into a new life. She now lives in an active foster home with children, dogs, adults, and small livestock, and she fits right in like she’s always been there. She is calm, friendly, and deeply affectionate — especially when there’s a cozy couch and someone willing to share it. Currently weighing around 80 pounds and losing steadily, Mrs. Colley Ray is eager for a home that will help her continue her wellness journey. She loves retrieving balls, enjoys nice long walks, and thrives with positive routines that keep her active and engaged. Her goal weight is 50 pounds, and she’s already proving she’s committed to getting there. She is fully house trained, crate trained, and a wonderfully well-mannered family dog. Mrs. Colley Ray is happy, confident, and ready for the next chapter — one filled with movement, laughter, and love done the healthy way. We promised her previous owners that she would find a home worthy of her devotion, and we believe that home is out there. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will enrich your life every single day, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. Mrs. Colley Ray is truly unforgettable.            ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED. Contact ccrtennessee@gmail.com.January 12, 2026, 6:51 pm

Story
  Meet Miss Kitty – A Heart Ready to Bloom  Miss Kitty’s story is one of transformation, hope, and quiet bravery. This stunning 2-year-old Aussie mix (around 70 lbs) was once part of a large group of neglected dogs—left without love, attention, or hugs daily.  The days of indifference from humans are long behind her. With the help of a kind foster home, Miss Kitty has discovered the beauty of human kindness, human touch and now she’s ready to find a forever family of her own.  In just two months, she’s blossomed from a shy, uncertain girl into a dog who seeks out affection and enjoys the company of people—especially children, who she now happily follows with her tail wagging. She’s gentle with dogs of all sizes and loves running and playing with her friends in open spaces. Cats are still a mystery to her, but she’s learned to coexist respectfully.Miss Kitty is still gaining confidence with new experiences—like walking on a leash and spending time indoors—but her courage grows every day. She’s curious, sweet, and has a heart that’s learning to trust completely. With a little patience and a lot of love, this beautiful girl will reward her forever family with endless devotion and loyalty. If you’re looking to make a difference in a dog’s life and watch a soul truly bloom, Miss Kitty is waiting for you.  Contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to meet Miss Kitty today!   ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
