Adopted: Callie

Yes…with dog friendly cats! Kids? 9+ Background I came from a very nice family who unfortunately did not have enough time to care for me. They told the person who runs the kennel/grooming place where I had been that they were going to have to surrender me to the local shelter, and that great person knew that would be awful for me. I boarded at her kennel once, and was so scared and depressed—not anything like my normal self. So, she contacted CDR and managed to get me into their foster program, which has been SUCH a relief! I have been staying with four veterinary students for the past few weeks, and have been learning so…

Kids? 8+ years old History I was surrendered to a high kill shelter in KY when my family could no longer keep me. So sad in a way, but as it probably wasn’t the most loving home, maybe it was a good thing too! Especially since I avoided being put to sleep (the shelter was SO overcrowded) when Schoolhouse Rescue said they could take me into their rescue program! Whew! That was a close one!

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…

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: 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…
