Adopted: Charlie Bear

Quick Facts: Breed: Yellow Lab mix Gender: Male, neutered Age: 7 years old? Size: 90 pounds Good with… Dogs? Calm dogs, introduced slowly! Cats? No, sorry! Kids? Not a great match, sorry. My name is Charlie Bear! Though my life pre-rescue was scary and sad, I am an incredibly loving and good dog who I attaches very deeply to people who are nice to me. My deepest wish is to find an adoptive home that is loving, safe and kind (and that my stuffed animal lamb best friend can come with me!). History I was originally adopted from a shelter in Tennessee by a young couple. When they split up, she took me with her far away, as she was my official owner. Sadly, she was very unstable, and living with her was rough. Sometimes I didn’t have any food for long stretches. Sometimes I didn’t even have access to…

Adopted: Redwood

  Quick Facts: Breed: Shepherd Husky mix Gender: Male, neutered Age: 1 year old Size: 45 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? No! Kids? Yes! Hello! My name is Redwood. ***Redwood is not a CDR dog but please fill out an application and it will be forwarded to his rescuer!*** History Redwood started his life being passed around a bit before making his way to his current foster home. Personality Besides being gorgeous he loves everyone he meets including dogs! He does love to chase things so a non cat/poultry home is required and because of his love/hate of chipmunks he must be on a leash or in a fenced in yard at all times. Cohabitation He is crate trained, loves riding in the car and knows a few basic commands. He loves to be with his people so he will not succeed if he has to be crated several…

Adopted: Willow

Quick Facts: Breed: Treeing Walking Coonhound/ Black Lab mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 1 years old Size: 60 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? 16+ only! Hello! My name is Willow and I love hiking with my person and playing with other dogs! Maybe I can join your pack? History I was found on Craigslist! My mom was a breeding mom of purebred hunting dogs, but she accidentally got pregnant by a Black Lab neighbor dog. I was one of eight puppies and lived outside in a kennel during a treacherous summer of storms. I wasn’t handled much and may have been a low pup on the totem pole with not enough access to food and water, as I didn’t really trust people when I was adopted and was very concerned about access to resources. My family has worked hard with a wonderful positive trainer to help me…

Yes, 12+ Hi, I’m Lygia and I am a delightful, sweet pup! History I lived with my first set of humans for the first 6 years of my life. I love my first family as we went on many walks and played in the gorges in Ithaca.  My family needed to move into an apartment, and they had two babies! It became a little tight for all of us and the human babies didn’t understand how to play with me in a safe way.  I had a wonderful and happy life with my humans and now I am looking for my new forever home. Personality I love my humans and I really enjoy going for walks with them.  If we go for a car…

Adopted: Momo

Quick Facts: Breed: Dachshund-Chihuahua mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 10 years old Size: 12 pounds Good with… Dogs? Sorry, no! Cats? Untested Kids? NO!!! This is Momo, she is a super wonderful dog. *** Momo is not a CDR dog but please fill out an application and it will be forwarded to her rescuer!*** History and Why Momo is Looking for a New Home I adopted Momo in 2014 from an Alabama rescue that takes dogs out of kill shelters and ships them to new homes in the Northeast. I wanted a Velcro dog, and I got one! Momo will follow you everywhere, snuggle at the drop of any hat, and want to sleep in bed with you at night. Unfortunately, she is also very possessive, attacking any dog she suspects of having designs on you, even large ones. Because she couldn’t stop attacking one of our larger dogs and…

Adopted: Flissie

Quick Facts: Breed: Pocket Pittie Gender: Female, spayed Age: 6 years old Size: 40 pounds Good with… Dogs? See summary Cats? Unknown Kids? Yes, 12+! ***Flissie is not a CDR dog but please fill out an application and it will be forwarded to her rescuer!*** History, Personality, and Why I’m Looking for a New Home Flissie (an affectionate form of Felicity) we think has quite a sad story, even though she is an exceptionally joyful girl (we and her veterinarians have inferred her past based on her condition and her behavior). She probably spent the first two years of her life in a cage, almost all the time. She also must have tried to chew her way out of it based on her having only three remaining canine teeth (we got her the dental surgery she desperately needed). When we adopted her, she had no idea about how to be…

My name is Chance and I am the most loving and cuddly dog you’ll ever meet!! History I adopted Chance came from a high kill shelter in the south in 2017, and since then we have been pretty inseparable. We enjoy exploring new trails and swimming almost every day in the summers! Chance would often go spend weekends at my parent’s lake house with their dog and they would play in the yard and swim/chase after sticks in the water for hours! In recent years I have begun to travel more and more, leaving Chance with family, which has become hard for Chance and my family. Chance loves to love and be loved and wants to be…

Adopted: Louie

Quick Facts: Breed: Lab/Shepherd mix Gender: Male, neutered Age: Almost 3 years old Size: 95 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Yes! Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes, 6+! My name is Louie and I am a big sweet loving pup ready to be your new best friend! History I was born in the farm country of eastern Washington and was brought to a shelter with my litter as tiny puppy. At 12 weeks old I was adopted into my current home. We lived on a little farm but was not a good farm dog because I have a strong prey drive, including for the chickens on our farm. I did love living there though with my big yard and fence to patrol. My family recently moved me all the way across the country to New York to a small house. I miss my yard but do get lots of walks and…
