I’m part gentle giant, part princess! **Xena is not a CDR dog but please fill out an application and it will be forwarded to her people!*** History I was born in May of 2018 and the family who first had me didn’t have the time for a puppy so at no fault of my own, I landed at the shelter when I was just a couple years old. That’s where my awesome Mom found me! She adopted me in…

Quick Facts: Breed: Golden Retriever (purebred?) Gender: Male, neutered Age: 18 months young! Size: 60 (ish) pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! (but am possessive of toys!) Cats? Unknown Kids? Yes! 14+ Hello! My name is Bentley and I am a very friendly, exuberant, enthusiastic young Golden Retriever! History I was adopted as a puppy by my family, but circumstances have prevented them from being able to keep me. Luckily, Cayuga Dog Rescue was able to take me into their foster program, my former family was happy to surrender me, and the wonderful owners of the Bed and Biscuit Kennel were happy to foster me at their kennel! I am very happy, everyone is being so nice to me and I get to run and play in their big fenced yards like I always dreamed of being able to do! The only thing missing is a wonderful new family, but they…

Adopted: Bruce

Quick Facts: Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Gender: Male, neutered Age: 2 years old Size: 60 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Some cats! Kids? Yes! 13+ Hello! My name is Bruce and I am a sweet and loving boy who loves to relax in the sun! History I was adopted from a foster home in Texas and brought to New York in July 2022 to live with my current family. I had been with my foster mom in Texas for ~2 months and before that I had lived in a shelter. My early life is unclear, but it’s left me with some anxieties that make it hard for me to live with young rambunctious kids. I’m extremely sweet and loving and my family loves me deeply, but I think I will thrive more in a house without very small kids. Personality I am 90% a cuddly couch potato! I…

Adopted: Harper

Quick Facts: Breed: Pitbull mix Gender: Female Age: 7 Months old Size: 39 pounds (and growing!) Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes! Hi I’m Harper, I love all people, new friends and old, men and women, children and seniors! History My background is sad. I was probably born with demodectic mange (the kind of mange that is not contagious to people or other animals). I had no medical treatment and was kept in a bathroom itching like crazy for months. This created a lot of infection and wounds on my skin and I had no relief. I was also very malnourished/super skinny and dehydrated. I got rescued and my rescuer immediately took me to the vet hospital, and they kept me for 3 days in order to get me stable. I am so grateful for that! But THEN…things got even better! I got to come home from the…

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…

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…
