Sweetie Pie

Sweetie Pie, I am named well—I am the sweetest dog around!! Quick Facts: Breed: Cattle dog mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 9 years old Size: 43 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes, see below! We are not accepting applications at this time while we assess Sweetie Pie’s current medical condition. Background I was a homeless girl who got picked up and put into an over-crowded shelter in rural KY. Not a good situation! Luckily a kind rescue lady heard how sweet and wonderful I was, so she contacted Cayuga Dog Rescue and they invited me to join their foster program! Best. Day. Ever!! The sad news is that I am Heartworm-positive and had extremely painful ear infections in both ears, but the good news is that my Heartworm was in the very early stage (making it super treatable) and CDR said they would get me excellent treatment…

Adopted: Bracken

Hello! My name is Bracken and I am an adorable puppy! Quick Facts: Breed: Whippet/ Boxer Gender: Unspayed female Age: 7 months old Size: 40 pounds Good with… Dogs? Dogs? Yes Cats? Yes! Kids? Probably! History I was adopted when I was a little 12 week old pup by an awesome person I call “First Mom.” She did a great job taking care of me throughout my puppyhood, taking me everywhere with her and teaching me all kinds of great stuff. Her life has changed though–she is now both going to college and working a lot so we both moved in with her mom (I call her Gramma!) and Gramma is doing most of my care at present. Since First Mom isn’t going to have the time to take care of me well for quite a number of years to come, everyone wants to find me a great new home…

Hello, future family! My name is Howie. And I am such a goofy, sweet, loving friend! Quick Facts: Breed: Beagle/Basset hound mix Gender: Male, neutered Age: 4 years old Size: 27 pounds Good with… Dogs? Dogs? Yes Cats? Yes! Kids? 8+ years History I came from a crowded, rural Kentucky shelter where I was overlooked because of my shyness, which put me in danger of being euthanized. I made the trip to the safety of CDR and my foster family in early October. I still sometimes hide behind the couch or try to fit under the bed when I’m feeling shy or unsure. But once I trust you, I’m happy to come to you for love or playtime. Personality I’m super sweet! I like to come find you and lay my head on you. I put my paws up on your lap to see if maybe you’ll pet me. People generally…

Adopted: Jed

Hello! My name is Jed and I am a gorgeous, soft, and hilarious puppy! Quick Facts: Breed: Plotthound mix (maybe mixed with Greyhound?) Gender: Neutered male Age: 1 year Size: 45 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Very playful! Cats? Untested (ask us, we can cat test) Kids? Most likely! History I was found stray in TN and was taken to a pretty rough, dismal TN shelter. Dogs only have 30 days there before being put to sleep, so just in the nick of time, a nice KY rescue lady got me out and stashed me at a kennel while she waited for a spot in a northern rescue to open up. I quickly became a favorite at the kennel, with the people and all of the other dogs! Since I was doing really terrific with kennel living, CDR said they could let me join their foster program, and that the…

Adopted: Callie

Callie Hi! I am the cutest, wiggliest, happiest little girl around! Quick Facts: Breed: Beagle/Shepherd mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 1 year old Size: 33 lbs Good with… Dogs? Yes, most dogs Cats? Not yet tested Kids? Not yet tested History Hello everybody! My name is Callie! What’s yours? I am a beautiful (if I say so myself) beagle/shepherd mix who was found as a stray in Kentucky. We don’t know much about my past, but I was in a high kill shelter down there when the kind folks at the Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society took a shine to me and, with the help of Cayuga Dog rescue, whisked me up north to a foster home. I’ve been at my foster home for just a couple of weeks, and I’m really looking forward to finding my just right “furever” home!! Personality I really, really want to be a member…

Adopted: Maggie

Hi, My name is Maggie, and I am incredibly gentle, sweet, and calm! Quick Facts: Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 4 years old Size: 55 pounds Good with… Dogs? Dogs? Yes Cats? Yes! Kids? Calm and mature. History I was owned by some folks in rural KY who kept me outside 24/7. They never spent any time with me, I was out there by myself all the time, it was very sad. With nothing to do, I would dig holes in the dirt to entertain myself (and also to lay in when it was hot). They didn’t like me doing that, and when they took me to the local high-kill shelter to leave me forever, they told the staff that they were tired of filling in the holes I dug, so they were getting rid of me. Sad story, and I was quite scared at the shelter,…

ADOPTED: Bozeman

Hi! My name is Bozeman, and I am the sweetest, friendliest, most chill dog around! Quick Facts: Breed: Black Lab mix Gender: Male Age: 6 years Size: 47 lbs Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Not yet tested but probably! History I landed in a pretty rough, high-kill shelter in rural Kentucky. I was running out of time (you know, we black dogs are always the last to be picked at the shelters), and then they found out I was heartworm positive. Uh-oh. It’s a fatal disease if untreated. For dogs who have families, it’s not so bad. They go to the doctor and get treatment. But for us homeless, family-less dogs, it’s a death sentence. Most shelters don’t have the resources to treat it, so with more homeless dogs than they know what to do with, dogs with medical issues are the first to go. So, that was…

Adopted: Jackson

Hi there! My name is Jackson and I am a super affectionate and hilarious little guy!! Quick Facts: Breed: Wheaton Terrier Mix (we think!) Gender: Male, neutered Age: 4-ish years old Size: 14 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes! History: You could say I’m an international man of mystery!  It’s hard to say where I came from, but someone obviously cared for me at some point.  I was found stray in the Ithaca area at the very end of June and luckily one of the neighbors there offered to care for me until my owners could be found. They put the word out online via FB, reported me to the local SPCA, and had me checked for a microchip (there was none) but shockingly, no one ever came looking for me.  Cayuga Dog Rescue offered to take me into their foster program, and I get to keep…

Adopted: Gemma

My name is Gemma (like “gem”) and I am one miraculously lucky and amazing pup! Quick Facts: Breed: Lab mix Gender: Female Age: 6 months Size: 30 lbs Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? 12+ years History On July 4th of this year, I was a homeless puppy in rural KY. One night, I ran across a rural road and was hit head on by a car doing 60+ miles an hour, ending up being lodged in the grille of the car that hit me (check out that crazy photo and get the whole story). Worst day of my life, right? Nope! Sort of the best day, because that is the day that I went from being a lost, starving, scared and homeless little puppy, to having all sorts of wonderful rescue people and doctors and volunteers and donors and pilots, all wanting to help me! Totally amazing! To…
