Story
Zuli is a 4 year old pure bred Australian Shepherd. He is very sweet and loving, always licking everyone to show affection, always up for a walk, and always wanting to be petted. He also is incredibly food oriented and smart, and we have done some training with him. However, he is also very anxious and afraid. We got him because he bit his previous owner (a relative of mine). We would keep him but we have a baby and there have been enough minor incidents (no further biting, though, I can explain more if we move further in this process) that I am not comfortable with him being around our baby when he is a few years older and running around our home full of energy or having friends over that Zuli is not familiar with. He needs an experienced dog owner who understands how to redirect reactive dogs and is willing to put in the time to exercise him and love him. He will love you 10000x more than you love him and it breaks our hearts to do this, but our son's safety is our priority.

Story
Hi my name is Niko and I’m 4 years old. My human who loves me very much and is searching for a new home for me. She wants to ensure she finds a caring environment where I will receive plenty of attention and meet all my needs. I'm an incredibly quirky and loving dog who sees the world as one big playground! I'm always ready for an adventure, bursting with energy and curiosity. My human calls me funny because I love to make them laugh with my silly antics. I’m smart and love to learn new tricks, and when the day winds down, there’s nothing better than cuddling up for some cozy moments together! Thank you for taking an interest in me.

Story
Gus is a 4-year old purebread Mini Australian Shepherd. We are looking to rehome him because the combination of his fear-based reactivity and our now having young children (a 1-year old and 1 on the way) is no longer compatible. Gus has had behavioral issues as a puppy - he is reactive towards other dogs and should be kept at a distance. While OK with adults, he needs time to get familiar with new people and does best if allowed to go at his own pace. Treats help. Like all Aussies, Gus requires lots of mental and physical activity. Musts: home with a yard where he can run and play in a safe environment; an owner committed to continuing his behavioral training with a no-fear policy; no other pets or young children. Despite his behavioral issues, Gus is a truly wonderful dog. He is sweet and loving to those he trusts. He is playful, goofy, cuddly, and full of energy. Current medications: Gabapentin, Sertraline, and Clonidine.

Story
Lora Lee is a very sweet dog that is just 2 years old and weighs 42 pounds.  She is said to be an Aussie mix with some Terrier.  Whatever the mix is we think she is a most unusual and truly a beautiful girl who well with other dogs in her foster home.  She is a friend to all and apparently she is house trained as long as taken out regular. Lola Lee is crate trained but cannot be left for long hours in the crate.  She is not leash trained  but is trying to improve.   We are requesting that applicants have a fenced yard for her because she is an active girl that needs to run and play with freedom and not at the end of a leash only. This beauty loves to cuddle and be by your side like your BFF and shadow. If you have another dog that would be great for her to have a playmate that can help her wear out her energy every day.  Lola Lee is a great girl and she is going to need an active family that can challenge and meet her need for exercise and be able to keep up with her.   She is really not a dog for a retirement couple that are ready to have a more laidback dog with fewer exercise demands.  If you are interested in this girl please email Critter Cavalry Rescue 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.October 31, 2024, 2:39 pm

Story
Sweet Skye Man has come to us as one of three Aussie mix older pups that are still impressionably young at just 8 months and 19 pounds. This handsome, yet shy boy, is looking for a family that will fill his soul with love and affirmation and confidence building lessons every day. He and his siblings were raised in an outdoor kennel with little to no love and attention. They were merely fed, but yet eventually were released to our Critter Cavalry Rescue foster mom.  Skye Man  is a sponge for life lessons and he is so receptive to human touch and love.  He is the smaller pup from his litter of three that we have in our care now. He is comfortable in a crate, but needs leash training.  There's so many exciting experiences and a wonderful family waiting for him out there. All he needs to have is the moment he is discovered and someone contacts Critter Cavalry rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to ask if they can adopt him. We know that day is coming soon. He is fully vetted and neutered and ready to hop on the van to the home in the Northeast region or to just merely meet a new family in Tennessee where he resides currently. If you were interested please email us at the address we just gave.  Be sure to let us know where you live, city and state. We will be quickly responsive.  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.comOctober 31, 2024, 2:39 pm

Story
Critter Cavalry Rescue it's so excited to show the world this very special red heeler mix boy named Ace. He is approximately 36 lb. 5-6 month old Aussie/red ,Heeler mix and has been in a very small town shelter for over 2 months with his two siblings. This boy is so very sweet and happy and handsome and smart. We are looking for a home that will appreciate the intelligence and devotion of the Heeler and Australian Shepherd breed.   Don't let what you read about herding breeds influence you to think they are at top speed all the time. They do love their exercise and energy, but they are cuddlers, snugglers, chill by your feet and wanting to learn. They are good with children and do make excellent hiking and running companions. Up for adventure at all times, this boy is not shy and does not have any emotional damage right now. We just got he and his siblings out of the shelter as of 10/15 and Critter Cavalry has temporary fosters.  We are now looking for permanent homes.  If you are interested in being part of the solution in the life of Ace or his siblings, please write to us 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.com  October 31, 2024, 2:39 pm

Story
Manny came from a high-kill shelter in Georgia and has been in his foster home for about a month. He is very sweet and affectionate, but unfortunately his foster's dog has not welcomed him into their home so he needs another foster, or preferably an adopter.
