Here are the lucky pups who’ve found their forever families!
Hi! My name is Diesel (also known as Deedee or Deezy)! I am a cute, silly, bouncy guy who wants to show you how much I can love you and be a good boy! Quick Facts: Breed: Boxer mix Gender: Male Size: Medium (40-45 pounds) Age: 3 years old Good with… Other dogs? Fine with large dogs, not okay with small dogs (thinks they are prey) Cats? Nope, sorry! Kids? Good for kids over the age of 8; too rambunctious with younger kids. Medical notes: I am allergic to grain products so I have to have a grain free food. If I eat something with grains in it I turn a red, pink color under my coat, start sneezing and I get itchy. ***Diesel is not a CDR dog and has not been evaluated by CDR. This is a courtesy posting for Diesel’s parents, who will make all decisions about…

I love tennis balls, chew toys, and…
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…
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,…

Hi! My name is Bees (as in “cute as the bees knees!”) and I am a sweet, playful, and affectionate girl! Quick Facts: Breed: Border Collie/Black Lab mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 2 year old Size: 50 pounds Good with… Dogs: Yes! Cats: Dog savvy, dog friendly cats–YES! Kids: 12+ years History: I’m absolutely the most affectionate, SWEET, and loyal dog you can imagine, once I get to know you. I was found abandoned up in Watkins Glen and the wonderful folks at Farm Sanctuary took care of me before I was transferred to the CDR program. Whatever my past early experience was, it has left me with some fear of strangers but has also given me the ability to love and bond strongly with the people whom I get to know and trust. Personality: About my adorable personality! I am young and therefore very, very playful with other dogs!…

Yes Good with cats? Unknown Good with children? I prefer adults please! Special Notes: I am recovering from two ACL knee surgeries (done at Colonial Vet Clinic in Ithaca) and am doing really well!! Background: I was raised from puppyhood by a lovely lady in her 90s who took good care of me. I lived in a ranch house with a fenced yard and two other small terriers with whom I loved to play. She had me for 5 years, but as her health began to fail she knew she needed to find me a new home, and with the…
Hi! My name is Cooper, and I am a very sweet, affectionate, 1 1/2 year old, neutered male Great Pyrenees mix! Quick Fact Sheet: Age: 1 1/2 years old Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Gender: Male, neutered Size: about 70 pounds but needs to put on some weight Good with dogs: Yes! Good with cats? No! 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…
