Story
Mojo was found as a stray and we made every effort to find his owners but to no avail. He is an Aussie mix and of course with the breed comes high activity. I will say that he loves his down time though! He is NOT an apartment dog. He needs a good sized fenced yard. He is not great in a crowd of dogs but will do well with a sister or brother to play with. He hasn't been tested with cats so we don't know about that. The vet believes his age to be about 6 years. He's neutered, vaccinated, crate trained and heart worm negative. He is more than ready for his forever home! ADOPTION FEE $400 PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION!

Story
This precious girl came from one of the worst hoarding situations that we have ever dealt with. there were over 100 dogs on the property, none of them spayed or neutered. Finally, the authorities went in and they managed to get ALL of the dogs out of there. Filthy dirty situation, sick puppies, you name it. We choose to take Blossom home to our rescue because her eyes were begging us for love and attention. She was very pregnant and two weeks after arriving, she gave birth to 7 heathy puppies! Every single puppy was different, every singe puppy had a different daddy! We think that Blossom had never been paid any attention to because she was so shy. Once we weaned her babies we took her out of the nursery and into the house where she just blossomed! That's how she got her name! Her puppies have long since been adopted and now it's her turn. We actually did a DNA on her and it came back with 4 different breeds, which we kind of figured from the beginning. Australian Cattle Dog, Labrador Retriever, Pit Bull, Boxer. Yes, she is truly a "Mutt!: She is extremely smart and will do anything for a treat. I want her to have a nice fenced yard with lots of room to run. Cattle dogs are working dogs and they need lots of exercise! She is spayed, crate trained, fully vaccinated, microchipped and house broken, truly a gem! Ready for immediate transport.

Story
Critter Cavalry Rescue is trying to help several dogs like Lyla out of a small rural shelter that is cramped and hard on the spirit of the kind of dog like Lyla.  She came to the shelter as an owner surrender forced by the animal control of the shelter.   She and her sister were being crated 24.7 just about and this was negligent and cruel.  She has been in this little shelter for almost 3 months now and her Blue Heeler spirit is just being stifled to get out and have some time to roam a yard, go for a fun run of fetch the ball or just be sleeping on a soft cozy dog bed at your feet.  It is just hard on the spirit when these dogs are stashed away and unnoticed and very little attention except to feed them.  She is 1-2 years old and 38 pounds.  She is mostly Heeler from what we can tell but on the darker side and she is warm and friendly but cautious too because of the confinement she has experienced.  Help us if you love the breed or love rescuing and fostering or even adopting.  She is fully vetted and ready to go!  Email us at  ccrnewengland@gmail.com   It is time to free Lyla! 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.comAugust 19, 2024, 2:03 pm

Story
Our sweet Red Heeler girl is called Calamity Jane and she is a sharp shooter girl when it comes to being smart, capable to handle herself and cute as a bonus.  She was born the end of May and is currently 7.5 pounds at just 9 weeks of age and expected to be a 4o-45 pound adult dog.  She and her mom and siblings were dropped off at a small town shelter in East Tennessee and Momma was all Red Heeler with stand up ears and dad was missing in action.  Seems that these pups of hers are all taking after Momma in looks and temperament. She is a little taller than her sibling so she may be taller than a typical Red Heeler. If you want to know what she is like then all we can say is that she is super sweet and a huge cuddler! In a perfect world she would be a lap dog 24/7. She appears to be very smart and is a playful girl who is super fast!  She has been great around other dogs. She has not met a person she did not like. Calamity will do best with a family that will help her to gain confidence in her environment by getting her out and about seeing new places and meeting new people. We call it socializing a puppy on a consistent basis and many people forget that they need to do that for a well-rounded adult dog. If you are interested in this pretty, smart and charming Heeler girl please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com and ask for an application.  Please mention where you live: city and state. 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.comAugust 19, 2024, 2:03 pm

Story
  Meet Belle Star!  This sweet little Red Heeler mix female puppy came into foster from a small town shelter. Her momma was a Red Heeler and dad is unknown. This little bundle of joy is inquisitive and very smart like all the Heelers are known to be.  Belle was born around the end of May and is currently just 9 weeks old as of 7/29. She is expected to be an average weight of around 40 pounds if she keeps growing at the rate she is now.  Currently she is only 7 pounds at the 9 weeks mark.  She will most likely have the build that is typical of the Heeler breed and we are expecting her ears to slowly start pointing upward like her Mom’s. When talking about her personality we can safely say that Belle Star is super sweet and enjoys attention. She is very playful and confident and has been great around other dogs, cats, and loves every person she meets. Her foster mom is a huge Heeler fan and has had several over the years and has one NOW.  Being a Heeler, she will do best with a family that can keep her busy and perhaps has a fenced yard for safety to run to her heart’s content.  She is a little cutie and is going to be a great dog for a lucky family. With the hot summer heat she has proven herself to be a fan of the kiddie pool and she truly loves to lounge for quite a while…of course with her sun screen on for safety.  She is ready for a new home NOW.  If you are interested, 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.comAugust 19, 2024, 2:03 pm

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. COWBOY is a family dog… about 1 ½ yrs old…63#...Red Heeler aka Australian Cattle Dog. He has been a part of the Foster’s family for over 6 months and has become the “teaching” cowboy to any new dogs that come in. He teaches them to go outside to potty through the doggie door and to go lay down on the dog bed to be out of the way. He leaves the cats alone as long as they don’t run…if they do, then the chase is on. He is kennel trained (though he much prefers to be out with you). He is loyal, attentive, and calm. He is easy-going and wants to learn. He bonds easily He is fairly good on the leash…he will pull if something really interests him…but otherwise he is right there with you. Cowboy will make a great dog for someone who loves to go out walking, hiking, boating. Heelers are known for loving the water. He loves to be right with you everywhere you go and everything you do, he’s your sidekick. He enjoys playing with other friendly, dogs. He doesn’t play rough and prefers dogs who reflect his gentle play style. This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption.

This is Sevyn. I rescued Sevyn from my Dads home. He passed away Thanksgiving Day of last year. He took such good care of her. I tried to take her in but I can no longer take care of her due to my busy work schedule. All shelters are at capacity and will not take surrenders. She is a large size dog and requires outside time. She is a good dog. Shes independent and loves to lay around. Sometimes she needs a little redirection because she can get extremely hyper. I would love for her to find a forever home, someone who can provide her proper love and attention just like my Dad did with her. If you are interested please let me know.

We are trying to help this sweet girl called Bonnie Belle to find a home since her elderly parents are in failing health and cannot care for their five dogs.  Bonnie Belle is a mix of some interesting breeds.  We think she has some Aussie and maybe Boxer in her.  The Australian Shepherd trait is what makes her a protector of the yard and home when strangers approach.  She is the home security dog officer!   This girl is losing her home because her elderly parents have fallen into bad health.  Bonnie Belle is 4 years old and weighs a little over 40 pounds.  She adores people and is good with the other dogs that she spends time with in the fenced yard.  She is housebroken, affectionate and a devoted girl to her family.  If you would like to give Bonnie her next forever home, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue who is helping her 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.August 19, 2024, 2:03 pm
