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: Willow

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…

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…

Unknown Kids? 12+ (I like a peaceful home setting) Bo is a super sweet, Hilarious little guy. History I lived with a man for the last 10 years of my life. Nothing bad happened to me there, but not much all that good either. Then my person got a girlfriend and she didn’t like dogs, so my person took me to a high kill shelter in KY where he lived. Super scary and awful for me. Luckily, a wonderful KY rescue person reached out on my behalf to Cayuga Dog Rescue, and put me in a temp foster home until they could have me driven by a team of volunteers up to central NY to join their foster program. I was really unsure and shy when I arrived,…

I am Ayla (it means “moonlight”), and I am adorable, sweet, and loving! History I am one of the lucky ones, because even though I’ve had a number of very sad losses, and also a lot of physical discomfort, I had a lot of love in my former life in rural KY. I was found as a stray puppy by a really sweet guy who lived on a farm. He kept me, loved me, and I had a fine life roaming around the farm with him all day long. Tragically, he died unexpectedly, which left me orphaned. His parents were able to bring me to live with them on their nearby farm, and they took good care of me for…

My name is Cedar, and I’m a fun-loving, sweet-hearted, enthusiastic Lab-Beagle mix! History I’ve lived with my family in Ithaca for about 4 months. Before that, I had spent my whole life in shelters, which was very sad and scary for a tiny puppy! I was born in Alabama, landed in a shelter there, and then was transported at 4 months old to a no-kill shelter in Binghamton, NY. Whew! That was lucky! Then I got adopted by my current family and life started to get much better! I learned so much in the past 4-5 months! I got house-broken, learned how to walk on a leash, what kinds of furniture were ok to be on (couches) and what kinds weren’t (tables, haha!), and…

Kids? 10+ Hello, my name is Milo and I love my people, my toys, and playing with other dogs! ***Milo is not a CDR dog and has not been evaluated by CDR. This is a courtesy posting for his foster family who will make all decisions about his adoptive placement.*** History An elder in the family went into nursing care with dementia and when I was transferred into a temporary foster care situation, they found that I had unfortunately been severely neglected due to the dementia of my owner. My ribcage was sticking out an awful lot, and I was very dehydrated. When they found me, I was eating grass to try to keep myself going. It was very sad,…
