Welcome!

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, fully volunteer organization based in the Finger Lakes Region of Central New York State. We are committed to our dogs' physical, social, and emotional well-being, and to finding them safe and happy homes!

Adopt

Our goal is to keep dogs out of shelters and find them forever, loving homes. We are not a shelter, all our dogs live in caring foster homes in the central NY region. If you are looking to adopt, check out our adoptable dogs today!

Foster

If you are looking to help save lives, but can't adopt, try fostering! It is such a rewarding process. Like our adopted dogs, all of our foster homes have undergone a several-step process to ensure the safety of our dogs.

Donate

We are a 100% volunteer organization. Every donation we receive is used entirely for the dogs. Bonus: As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your donation is fully tax-deductible!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

May 30, 2023
Wonderful, dog-loving community…the pups of Cayuga Dog Rescue really need your help.
Donations have been significantly down since Covid while veterinary costs have increased. Soon we will be unable to provide the critical veterinary care, food, and basic supplies that our dogs so desperately need.

601! Dogs Have Been Adopted Since 2005

What we do:

We rescue dogs from high-kill shelters, place them into loving local foster homes, and provide them with all needed veterinary care. We love them, care for them, help them with any fears they might have, and lovingly teach them basic manners while we look for, and carefully assess, potential permanent adoptive homes.

We provide ongoing consultation and support to foster homes and permanent adopters for the life of the rescued dog.

We promote compassionate dog guardianship through our public education efforts.

No! Kids? Yes, 12+ years. ***Leigh is not a CDR dog and has not been evaluated by CDR.*** History I was found when I was around a year old and brought to the SPCA in Ithaca, where the kind folks there discovered I already knew some basic commands. My sweet face, cool tricks and intelligent manner got me adopted quickly by a couple who I stayed with for a little over a year. I stayed home with my mom most days and got a lot of attention. Unfortunately, my parents split up and I ended up with daddy, who took great care of me but had to work very long hours,…
