She loved and spoiled us, though was not *too good* at training (she was too nice and not very firm–tee-hee, we got away with a lot!). In March, she fell and broke her hip and was no longer able to take care of us. Luckily, her son came and got us and took us to his home in Ithaca, where we have been ever since. We hadn’t been on long car rides before, but…

Adopted: Wally

Quick Facts: Breed: Black Lab/Border Collie Mix Gender: Male, neutered Age: 8 years old Size: 50 pounds Good with… Dogs? Sorry, no! Cats? Sorry, no! Kids? Yes, 12+ Hi! My name is Wally, and I am a ridiculously happy, silly, fun loving 8 year old neutered male Black Lab Mix! History and Why I am looking for a new home I was picked up as a stray when I was about a year old, by a local shelter that had no facilities. All of us shelter dogs were chained up to a dog house with tons of food and water. That was the best they could do, and I appreciated their efforts, but it was incredibly cold outside, all through the winter. I was very confused and sad, and it was super hard for a young, athletic and super affectionate dog like me to be chained up 24/7. I need…

Please contact by above phone or email to apply to adopt Jack!*** History: For 6.5 years, I lived with two other dogs and a small child but my family did not have much time for me and so I was frequently crated. They gave me to an older woman that had cats (which I don’t like) and who was unable to give me the exercise outlet that I needed. So I was then surrendered…

Size: 65-70 pounds Good with… Dogs?Females, yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes! History: I landed in a scary shelter at age 3, and I don’t remember my life before then, so can’t tell you anything about that. That was 7 years ago. Luckily I was adopted by an awesome mom, and I have lived so happily with her and her female dog since (that dog passed away a while ago). Mom loves me to pieces and wishes she could keep me forever, but she had to move from NC to NY suddenly to provide long-term care for an ill relative, and I’m not allowed to stay there. It’s very sad. I had to be kept in the garage for a…

Adopted: Buster

Quick Fact Sheet: Age: 4 years old Breed: German Short-haired Pointer mix Size: 50 pounds Gender: Male, (neutered soon!)​ Good with… Dogs? Females for sure! Cats? Unknown Kids? Yes, 12+ History I have had ​it rough​! I was a 24/7 chained out dog, without reasonable shelter, all through the frigid NY winters. My current guardians saw me standing outside on an exceptionally freezing night (there were times when it was -35 degrees wind chill​!) and decided to go talk to the people who owned me. Turns out they didn’t care about me one way or another, and ​were more than happy to let these nice strangers take me ​off their hands. Which they did! Amazing!! No more lonely outside life, no more freezing cold with no way to get warm, no more hunger…

Quick Fact Sheet: Age: 4 years old Breed: Great Pyrenees/hound mix Size: 60 pounds Gender: Male, neutered Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Maybe, see below Kids? Yes, see below Background: I came in as a stray to a very overcrowded, high-kill shelter in Tennessee, where I was going to be put to sleep because I had heartworms. This was a totally curable illness, not contagious, but sometimes in these shelters it’s “one strike and you’re out.” Lucky for me, they said I was just too special and one of their trainers took me under her wing so I could get treatment (I’m all better now!), and then helped get me into a rockin’ CDR foster home! Personality: If you’re looking for a perfectly mellow, gentlemanly dog, look no further than me. I am a…

Adopted: Jax

Hi my name is Jax and I’m as cute as can be! Quick Fact Sheet: Age: 1-2 years old Breed: Lab mix Size: 36 pounds Gender: Male, neutered Good with… Dogs? Yes! Love them! Cats? Maybe, see below Kids? Yes, see below Background: Thank goodness, CDR rescued me from a high-kill shelter in KY, where I was turned in with 5 other dogs when our owners couldn’t take care of us or didn’t want us anymore.   The staff at the shelter liked me so much because I was so sweet and adorable, but their hearts also broke for me because I was so scared.  Whatever my circumstances were before coming to the shelter, it was clear to everyone that I had not had the luck of kind and loving relationships with people.  I seemed to expect bad or scary things to happen whenever someone came near, and I would freeze…

Quick Fact Sheet: Age: 4-5 years old Breed: Black Lab mix Size: 65 pounds Gender: Male, neutered Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes! History: I was found as a stray when I was about 2 years old. When the nice lady who found me couldn’t find my owners, she offered to take care of me! She was very good to me, and I got along beautifully with her, her other dog, and the 6 year old girl in the house. I kept getting these terrible skin and ear infections though, and after 2 years of her veterinarians being unable to get me well, she ran out of money for my care. I was in rough shape. The infections were so out of control,…

Cats? Yes. Kids? Unknown History: I was purchased from a pet store as a puppy.  While in this home somehow my leg was injured.  My leg did not get better and I was returned to the pet store.  The pet store returned me to the breeder.  There was no indication that I ever went to a vet’s once I was purchased, not even to have my leg checked out.  The breeder brought me to the vet to have x-rays taken of my left rear leg.  The x-rays did not reveal exactly what had happened to my leg.  The damage is not repairable.  I can use my leg; the muscles and tendons are not…
