Story
🐾 Rue – The Brilliant, High‑Drive Australian Shepherd with AKC Papers Meet Rue, a stunning full‑blooded Australian Shepherd with AKC papers and the kind of intelligence and energy that make this breed so extraordinary. He will turn two years old on April 24, 2026, and he’s ready for a home that truly understands what a working‑minded dog needs to thrive. Rue is an active, athletic boy who absolutely requires a secure, fenced‑in yard where he can run, explore, and burn off his energy safely. He does not try to jump fences, but he does need room to move. He’s incredibly smart and already off‑leash trained—he’ll return to you with the blow of a whistle, a testament to his natural drive and eagerness to work with his person. Rue currently lives with both dogs and cats and does well with respectful, balanced dogs. He’s best paired with dogs who understand boundaries and don’t overwhelm him. He’s a sensitive, high‑drive dog who needs a home that is breed‑savvy—someone who knows how to provide the right mental and physical stimulation to keep him confident, calm, and fulfilled. Without that structure, he can become anxious or destructive, not because he’s “bad,” but because he’s incredibly intelligent and under‑challenged in his current environment. Rue is heartworm positive but is already on a slow‑kill protocol and doing well. With continued care and a stable routine, he has every chance at a long, healthy life. He would thrive with: A knowledgeable Australian Shepherd or herding‑breed adopter A fenced yard Respectful dog companions (if any) Plenty of exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation A calm, confident handler who can give him structure Rue is located in Windsor, VA, but he can be transported to a loving adoptive home—a transport fee may apply depending on distance. Rue is a truly exceptional dog with enormous potential in the right hands. He’s loyal, smart, eager to learn, and deeply bonded to his people once he trusts them. For the right adopter, he’s worth his weight in gold. His adoption fee is $500. If you’re ready to give Rue the active, structured, and loving home he deserves, he’s ready to give you his whole heart in return.

Story
  Tink’s story didn’t begin the way any young dog’s should — but we believe her best chapter is still waiting to be written very soon now that she is in the care of Critter Cavalry Rescue.  At just two years old, this striking blue-eyed Australian Shepherd girl has already experienced motherhood and heartbreak. She gave birth to a litter of puppies on Thanksgiving Day, nurturing them with devotion. But by Valentine’s weekend, her own world changed. When her owner suffered a stroke and was hospitalized in ICU, Tink was left confined inside a camper for four long days, alone and unsure. It would be understandable if that experience made her fearful or withdrawn. Instead, Tink emerged gentle, loving, and incredibly devoted to people. Currently weighing 38 pounds (and needing about five more to reach her ideal weight), Tink is a petite Aussie with a soft and gentle temperament and a playful streak. She absolutely adores children and has a naturally sweet, careful way about her. She loves playing fetch, going on walks, and burning off her energy in a securely fenced yard — which is a must for this active, intelligent breed.   Tink is mostly housebroken and simply needs the consistency of a routine. She does well in a crate and walks nicely on leash. We are currently evaluating her with other submissive dogs, as a recent attempt to pair her with a strong alpha female was not a good fit — which is understandable after all she’s been through. She may truly shine as the center of someone’s world. Tink has proven she is resilient. She has proven she is loving. Now she just needs someone who will prove to her that she will never be left behind again. If you feel your home might be the safe and steady future this beautiful girl deserves, please email Critter Cavalry at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and tell us your city and state. Tink is ready to begin again — this time, forever.   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
Margot is a beautiful and charming Aussie mix puppy that was born December 4th to a large litter of 11 siblings. All were cared well by their momma dog and Margot is one of 7 girls and 4 boys who are remarkable puppies with kind souls and good and loving hearts.  Margot has one of those personalities that makes her excited about life and every adventure she can go on.  This girl and her litter were broken in to little groups that would allow each of them to have some real one on one time with a foster.  Margot is in with 3 other siblings in this foursome she is the RINGLEADER.  She keeps the antics going and the laughter resonating in the foster home as the humans watch these puppies play.  Margot loves to steal her siblings toys and generally taunt them.  She is smart and witty and full of crazy ideas to make life 'exciting'.  She would be so well suited with a family that has children who wants a fearless and smart little puppy who has great confidence and personality that goes for miles and miles. Some of her favorite games are tug of war and playing fetch.  Fetch can be so much fun and great exercise for her young and playful mind and body.  A tired puppy is a GOOD PUPPY!  She would truly love to have another dog to play with when her humans are too busy.  Margot is destined to be a soft, long furred beautiful with some amazing eyes and soft features.  When fully grown we predict this beautiful black  girl will most probably be 40-45 pounds.  If you are ready to give her a fenced yard, another companion dog, an active and vibrant family life with good citizens training time and maybe a few children sprinkled in for great fun then email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   Mention where you live please.  We are based and fostered in Tennessee but we also have a transport van that goes to the northeast and our dogs and puppies can travel every weekend to new families that are outside of Tennessee.  We welcome local adopters as well.   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
Stella is a friendly and intelligent dog with plenty of energy. We want her to be happy and have a space where she can run around and play with other dogs. Previously, Stella lived in the mountains of Colorado, where she enjoyed a large fenced yard and had lots of friends to play with. Now, she is living in a townhouse without a yard, which has been challenging for her. As a very active young lady, she is currently feeling unhappy. Stella is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, German Shepherd, and Golden Retriever, and she is expected to weigh around 30 pounds. She is a loving and eager-to-learn dog who picks up new skills quickly. Stella would be an amazing agility dog, as this would engage both her mind and her need for physical activity. If agility training isn't your interest, she would also thrive in an active lifestyle with an avid walker, hiker, or runner.  Stella is a very quick learner and was immediately fully potty trained.     To ensure the best for Stella, her new owners should have a yard or live on a farm, and it would be great if they have another dog and children.  Stella has plenty of energy to add playing at home to her list of activities.    Stella has been spayed and is current on all her shots until May 2026.  To be considered for her forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Stella is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)  March 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

Story
Hi, my name is Zara! I am a beautiful gray and white 3-year-old Australian Shepherd Poodle mix. While ladies typically don’t disclose their weight, I am about 50 lbs. If you are a smart and active person or couple looking to adopt a dog with a similar temperament, then we could be a great match! I love going for walks and would appreciate having someone who can incorporate that into my daily routine. Getting outside for exercise is something I enjoy, and I would also make an excellent running companion. Visiting the park or going on hikes would be a lot of fun, too! Not to brag, but I believe I'm quite a looker, and I’m confident that if you took me to the park, we would make lots of friends together. While I love people, I am not used to being around other dogs, so a dog park wouldn’t be suitable for me. However, I’m always up for hanging out where the people are! I’m also a bit too energetic for young children; I sometimes forget that I'm bigger than they are and might accidentally knock them over. It would be wonderful if someone in the household could work from home, as I am crate-trained but don't like spending long hours alone. I thrive on human interaction and am seeking a loving home.  I promise to return your love! If you would like to be considered for my forever family, please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com. Please note that an approved application and adoption fee are required. (I am currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)    March 7, 2026, 12:24 pm

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
