Lily

We have very sad news. Our longest resident foster dog, Lily, who came to us in 2011, passed away last Friday from hemangiosarcoma, in the arms of her foster mom and dad, and with foster siblings Sammy and Elfie at her side. Lily was a good, good, good girl. Rescued from a high-kill shelter in KY, she joined the CDR foster care program when she was just 4 months old. She arrived to us with one of her ears half cut-off and with a fractured pelvis. And a fear of children of a certain height, and short, heavyset blonde women. Clearly, she had suffered something traumatic in her first months. But such a spirit she had! A pup who was more filled with love and humor, good nature and joy, you could not have found! Lily was all about fun-fun-fun, and kisses-kisses-kisses. 😊 But that pelvis fracture that she arrived…

Adopted: Paige

Hi! My name is Paige. I am adorable and loving! Quick Fact Sheet: Age: 3 years Breed:Terrier mix (maybe Feist mix?) Size:24 pounds, full grown! Gender: Female, spayed Very shy at first but wants attention and affection very much. Traumatic back story: Was found stray and unable to be caught, so folks in KY set a live trap for her. It worked, but she was stuck in the trap, in frigid, freezing temperatures, for 12+ hours before someone checked. Must have been very scary and terribly cold for this little girl with very, very short fur. Nervous with the small dogs in her foster home; did fine with the dogs with whom she was kenneled at the KY shelter. Great with the 8 year old in her foster home Not yet cat tested. More info coming as we get to know her better! If you are interested in adopting Paige,…

Barks and growls at them, not a good sign… Good with kids? Yes! Background: I come all the way from KY, where I was originally in a high-kill, very crowded shelter, and it’s a pretty amazing thing that I am alive right now. The shelter needed to make some space, so called their veterinarian to come and put to sleep those of us who had been there for a little while, but when the vet met me, she just couldn’t do it. I was too sweet, she thought, and far too friendly. So she called…
