Adopted: Pickles

Hi, I’m Pickles! I’m the hugest lover, and a very easygoing, very delightful, very happy and sweet little girl. Quick Facts: Breed: Beagle mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 4 years old Size: 30 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes! History I was found roaming the backwoods of rural KY and was scooped up and turned in by a nice person, who I am sure hoped that family would come looking for me at the shelter. Sadly, no one ever did, and since it was a high-kill shelter, I was in great danger. Luckily the shelter staff noticed that I was the NICEST little dog whose acquaintance they’d ever met, so they contacted the KY rescue lady they knew and she got me out of there and sent me up to join the CDR foster program! Personality I LOVE people. Seriously LOVE LOVE LOVE people!! The KY rescue…

Quick Facts: Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/German Shepard Mix Gender: Female Age: 8 months old Size: 35 pounds and growing Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? No, sorry!

Adopted: Callie

Hello! My Name is Callie! I love the outdoors and cuddling on the couch!! Quick Facts: Breed: Catahoula mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 1 years old Size: 54 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? 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…

Adopted: Lizzy

Hello! My name is Lizzy, and I am sweet, smart and silly! Quick Facts: Breed: Weimaraner Gender: Female, spayed Age: 13 years old Size: 55 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? No Kids? 12+ years History I lived with a sort of ok person for the first 8 years of my life, but I’d been neglected a bit and not fed enough, and generally not treated with the sort of love and care that all dogs long for. Luckily, my parents knew my former owner since I was a puppy, so knew me since then too! And then five years ago my then-owner finally realized that he wasn’t able to take care of me very well, my current mom and dad stepped up and rescued me! I’ve lived with them ever since, and things have been so much better!! The only vestiges of some of the pain of my former…

Sweetie Pie

Sweetie Pie, I am named well—I am the sweetest dog around!! Quick Facts: Breed: Cattle dog mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 9 years old Size: 43 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes, see below! We are not accepting applications at this time while we assess Sweetie Pie’s current medical condition. Background I was a homeless girl who got picked up and put into an over-crowded shelter in rural KY. Not a good situation! Luckily a kind rescue lady heard how sweet and wonderful I was, so she contacted Cayuga Dog Rescue and they invited me to join their foster program! Best. Day. Ever!! The sad news is that I am Heartworm-positive and had extremely painful ear infections in both ears, but the good news is that my Heartworm was in the very early stage (making it super treatable) and CDR said they would get me excellent treatment…

Adopted: Bracken

Hello! My name is Bracken and I am an adorable puppy! Quick Facts: Breed: Whippet/ Boxer Gender: Unspayed female Age: 7 months old Size: 40 pounds Good with… Dogs? Dogs? Yes Cats? Yes! Kids? Probably! History I was adopted when I was a little 12 week old pup by an awesome person I call “First Mom.” She did a great job taking care of me throughout my puppyhood, taking me everywhere with her and teaching me all kinds of great stuff. Her life has changed though–she is now both going to college and working a lot so we both moved in with her mom (I call her Gramma!) and Gramma is doing most of my care at present. Since First Mom isn’t going to have the time to take care of me well for quite a number of years to come, everyone wants to find me a great new home…

Adopted: Penny

Hello! My name is Penny. I am a sweet, smart, fun loving young lady. I adore tennis balls and spending time with people!! Quick Facts: Breed: Border Collie Mix Gender: Spayed female Age: 2-3 years old Size: 60+ pounds Good with… Dogs? No, sorry! Cats? No, sorry! 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! I have been living at Schoolhouse Rescue in the Binghamton area since Spring 2015. I LOVE all of the people who I have met and who visit with…

Callie Hi! I am the cutest, wiggliest, happiest little girl around! Quick Facts: Breed: Beagle/Shepherd mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 1 year old Size: 33 lbs Good with… Dogs? Yes, most dogs Cats? Not yet tested Kids? Not yet tested History Hello everybody! My name is Callie! What’s yours? I am a beautiful (if I say so myself) beagle/shepherd mix who was found as a stray in Kentucky. We don’t know much about my past, but I was in a high kill shelter down there when the kind folks at the Bowling Green/Warren County Humane Society took a shine to me and, with the help of Cayuga Dog rescue, whisked me up north to a foster home. 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: Maggie

Hi, My name is Maggie, and I am incredibly gentle, sweet, and calm! Quick Facts: Breed: Great Pyrenees mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 4 years old Size: 55 pounds Good with… Dogs? Dogs? Yes Cats? Yes! Kids? Calm and mature. History I was owned by some folks in rural KY who kept me outside 24/7. They never spent any time with me, I was out there by myself all the time, it was very sad. With nothing to do, I would dig holes in the dirt to entertain myself (and also to lay in when it was hot). They didn’t like me doing that, and when they took me to the local high-kill shelter to leave me forever, they told the staff that they were tired of filling in the holes I dug, so they were getting rid of me. Sad story, and I was quite scared at the shelter,…

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…
