Background:

I was surrendered with my ‘brother’ to a very poor, overcrowded shelter in KY when my family was no longer able to care for me.

Personality:

I am a calm, sweet, gentle dog! I’ve only been with Cayuga Dog Rescue for a few days, but so far everyone says they love me so much. Which is great, because I love them! More …

Adopted: Nevin and Natalie

Hi! We are Nevin and Natalie! We are a bonded pair (maybe daddy and daughter?) and are the most special pair of dogs imaginable. Really. Our foster mom says we are the 2 nicest Great Pyrenees dogs that she has ever had the pleasure to know, which is a stunning statement, because she has rescued and fostered easily 75 of them, and pretty much every one has been a total gem! Wowza! That kind of praise makes us a little embarrassed, but it’s mighty nice to be seen to be so extra special!

    Quick Fact Sheet:

  • Breed: Both purebred Great Pyrenees dogs
      Age and Sizes:

    • Nevin is about 4 years old and about 85 pounds.

Working on house training…lovely manners in general.
Peewee has typically pug breathing problems, and will need soft palette trimmed, nares widened, and other breathing things fixed. This is not uncommon in smooshy-faced breeds, and will help him breathe better…and CDR is covering this $$$ pricey surgery!
Gunther needs to have 8 teeth removed and is on medication for an eye condition, which is being evaluated soon.
All of these are very treatable, and CDR is footing the bill for it all!

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!

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. …
