My name is River and I am a beautiful boy who is full of energy! ** River is not a CDR dog but please fill out an application and it will be forwarded to his people!*** History I was born in Smyrna, NY to some backyard breeders. My parents were on site. I was only 6 weeks old when I went home with my new family, but they didn’t figure that out until we got home. At that point though, they were not about to bring me back–I was too cute, and the place I came from did not seem like a good place for any dog, let alone a puppy. I have been with the same…

My name is Violet and sometimes I think humans are lollipops that need to be licked down to the center! Other times I like to keep your feet warm by sleeping under the blankets! History I came from a small litter of puppies that all looked identical! I got adopted by a terrific couple, and was the only dog in the home for the first two years of life. When I was almost 2, I was in a very bad vehicle accident and barely made it out alive. So very scary and painful, but thankfully I got good veterinary care and help with rehabilitation and got to have my whole life ahead of me! I am in great shape now! I am…

My name is Bruce and I am a sweet and loving boy who loves to relax in the sun! History I was adopted from a foster home in Texas and brought to New York in July 2022 to live with my current family. I had been with my foster mom in Texas for ~2 months and before that I had lived in a shelter. My early life is unclear, but it’s left me with some anxieties that make it hard for me to live with young rambunctious kids. I’m extremely sweet and loving and my family loves me deeply, but I think I will thrive more in a house without very small kids. Personality I am 90% a cuddly couch potato! I…

Kids? 14+ Hi, I my name is Thea and I am an athletic, friendly, very good-natured and snuggly girl! History and Why I am Looking for a New Home I was adopted as a puppy by my current mom and have lived happily in my current home since. I’ve been a great girl, and have lived well with the male dog in my home, and also with the female dog in my current home until I came into heat. That was about 3 years ago, and since then, our fights have become more frequent, and more serious. Right now, I am recovering from wounds from the most recent fight and our mom has had to keep the other dog in a crate most of the time,…

I’m an easygoing hound dog who loves to bask in the sunshine! History I was found wandering the woods of Kentucky, landed in a rough shelter there but 3 years ago was transported to NY and adopted by my current wonderful, loving family. I’m a very calm, old-soul kind of pup in general, but my early life left with me some anxiety/sensitivities and I’m not a good fit to live with little kids. I’m so sweet and loving, and it breaks my parents hearts to have to find me a new home, but with a little toddler in the house and another on the way, we all know I’ll be happier and safer in a home without little kids that I…
