Story
AUSSIE, very active, unbelievably smart. She’s 4 years old and weighs around 25 lbs Sissy needs to be in a home with an active lifestyle. Aussies are incredibly smart dogs that are motivated to learn & please you. If you don’t have experience with this breed, we highly recommend you do your research before applying. Australian Shepherds need to have a job and if they don’t, they will quickly assign themselves one.From Sissy's foster mom: Sissy is a high-energy dog who would thrive in a home with at least one other dog or a highly active owner who wants to walk her often. She loves going to the dog park and is very sociable. Having a fenced yard would be best since Sissy prefers to run around outside. She loves being brushed and loved on. She is house-broken and scratches at the door to go out. She is crate-trained and sleeps through the night. She is a very fun dog.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN. The adoption fee Includes Age-Appropriate Vaccinations (DA2PPV, Bordetella, Rabies), Deworming, Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention, and Sheltering.

Story
Nova is a wonderful, kind, fun and loving dog. Her favorite things are walks where she can stop to smell the roses, all the treats and pets/snuggles. She struggles with just a bit of separation anxiety but has not ever destroyed anything in her anxiety. The most you'll deal with are some loud whining. But with enough exercise, love, and patience that is sure to go away. We wish we could provide her with the walks and hikes we know she'd love but we haven't been able to. She hasn't lashed out at us for this but we know she'd love a home where she can get all her energy out. Because of that, backyards are required to home her. You will receive her food bowls, crate/crate cover, toys, favorite chews, and whatever necessary to make her transition as smooth as possible. She is up to date on most of her vaccines though may have a small tooth issue. She also can have irritated skin in the Spring/Summer months due to possible allergies. Her medicated shampoo will be provided.

Don't let my name fool you, I am a girl! I've been told that I have beautiful blue eyes. My foster parents taught me how to sit for treats. I also use puppy pads in the house, but have started to learn how to go outside. I like other dogs a lot. I am still not sure about cats. I am a quick learner, though. One of my favorite things to do is cuddle. I am also crate-trained. If you are looking for a sweet, teachable puppy, I am your girl!FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

I'm Stevie's brother. My eyes are a dreamy green. I'll stare at you when you cuddle with me. I get along great with my foster's dogs, but I will bark at the cats - although I'm not aggressive at all. I'm also a quick learner. I will use puppy pads in the house, but I'm starting to go outside. We both like playing with toys and are used to entertaining ourselves.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Meet Alice, our darling brown and white girl that has the most memorable face and sky high ears you have ever seen.   This girl was born around the middle of May and is thought to be combination of lots of breed influences.   For starters we think that Cattle Dog and Aussie might be a mixture that are dominant for her.  She is one smart little girl that adorable her foster family and all the other big dogs (several German Shepherds are her mentors and big sisters) and many foster cats are present as well in the home.  Her boundless happy puppy energy catapults her through the days as she grows in to a true beauty inside and out.  She is so playful and loving and always ready for the next BIG ADVENTURE!  She loves to chase toys and explore the backyard for new things to do and maybe a few squirrels to make friends with.  She absorbs whatever you teach her like a sponge.  Her foster mom is an excellent trainer and knows the importance of teaching manners and commands.  Her friendly nature makes her easy to meet new people and she is does not shy away from new experiences either.  She is a snuggler when she is tired and very loving as she sits beside you to watch a good TV show.  This girl will be an excellent recall pup since she is learning that now and is so eager to please and be with her humans.  If you are interested in this beauty who will grow to be a 45-50 pound girl, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   Let us know where you live: city and state when you are inquiring. 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.January 2, 2025, 2:07 pm

Story
Hi, everyone. My name is Special Stella, and I am a beloved, fun, well-trained 5 year old Yellow Lab/Aussie mix girl that is only 50 pounds and who is looking for a new home without young children.  I have been with my young couple, mom and dad.For the past four years, and I have been very happy and loved.And during that time, it was discovered that young energetic children made me nervous.   Now my mom and dad are having a baby and they say it would be best if I went to a home with no young young children and yeah, would be best.If I was the only dog unless I lived with a submissive male, that would not challenge me to be the top dog.   I have lived with a cat and my only bad habit is I love cat food. I am housebroken and crate, trained and leash trained, and I know commands. And I am a very good girl. That will be your buddy, rick riding around town and your suv or a pickup truck or going out on the lake in the boat for the summer months.  I'm really a good girl, but I just have 2 things that I probably do. Don't meet in my life and that is a dominant dog around me and young children. That are you being what god made them to be,  young, energetic and loud and sometimes a little too quick to make movements that make me nervous.   We are all heartbroken that I have to find a new home. Critter Cavalry promised my Dad, who originally adopted me just to be his buddy before he got married, that they would help me find the perfect place for me to live out the next ten years or more of my life.   I promise to be the best companion you've ever had.   Please consider me to come and live with you and watch TV. At your feet or go for hikes. In the woods or just take naps in the afternoon on a lazy Winter day.  I am fully vetted and microchipped and come with great dog manners and very few bad habits. Unless you have a cat and I try to eat their food.  Please consider me and write to Critter.Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com.  Tell them where you live: city and state.   They are based in Tennessee and not only adoot to Tennessee, but also transport to the Northeast.    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.comJanuary 27, 2025, 10:05 pm

Story
Our pretty girl is called Koya and she is about 10 months old and weighs 32 pounds and appears to be a  small Aussie mix girl with such a beautiful smile and soft luxurious coat of shiny black and tan and white fur.  This girl has not spent much of her early life with other dogs and is learning how to play with them and to respect boundaries of others.   She is wonderful in the foster home with the  young 6 year old active boy and she is accepting the cats in the home and showing them space and respect when she approaches them.  This girl is really a compact little beauty that will need a medium amount of exercise and a good and consistent training program will be the best for her as she gets older.  This little girl was found as a stray and taken to a small town shelter in Middle Tennessee. She was cowering in the corner of her kennel and one of the director of the shelter begged Critter Cavalry Rescue to try and find a foster to put her in to our foster program.  She is learning to find a calm state of mind and to find her wonderful smile again.  This girl is working on crate and house training.  She came to us on March 4th and so she is brand new to learning her best dog manners.  This girl is going to make someone a wonderful and loving jewel to raise and make her part of your family life.  She needs a consistent homelife and patient people to help her find her best groove in life.  If you are interested please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com   We transport weekly out of state to the northeast and also adopt to Tennessee and surrounding southern areas.    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 10, 2025, 1:49 pm

Story
Pappy is, what we call in rescue, a “very good boy!” He is young; estimated to be between 1-2 years old. He weighs 45-50 pounds and we believe he is a red Border Collie/ Great Pyrenees mix. This is an educated guess, based on his coloring and double back do claws, so Great Pyrenees mix is very likely. Pappy has interacted favorably with many other dogs in rescue. He is most friendly with female dogs and submissive males and super friendly with people! He has a gentle nature and is affectionate. He will be a fun and easy addition to any active family or individual wanting to add a 4-legged companion who will be an eager partner in crime and a constant source of unconditional love. He is pretty good on a leash and crate trained.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.
