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: Luna

Hello! My name is Luna, and I love to play and spend time with you, whatever you’re doing! Quick Facts: Breed: Chocolate Labrador Retriever Gender: Female, spayed Age: 4 years old Size: 55-60 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Dog-savvy cats! Kids? Yes! History and Why I am looking for a new home I used to live with a family with lots of land and got to run around all day off-leash without a fence. It was great! Unfortunately, this also meant that sometimes I ran on to other people’s farms in the area since I didn’t know the difference and some of our neighbors weren’t very happy about this. One farm that had chickens on it got me so excited that I picked one up with my mouth, and the farmer was not very pleased with this and neither was the local animal control! My owners were at a…

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…

Adopted: Buster

Hello, my name is Buster and I am the most laid-back, loving dog you will ever meet! 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…

Adopted: Sherlock

Hello!! My name is Sherlock! I am an adorable, sweet, loving, very affectionate and curious boy! 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,…
