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…

Adopted: Blue Belle

Quick Facts: Breed: Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mix Gender: Female, spayed Age: 7 months old Size: 10 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? ? ***Blue Belle is not a CDR dog and has not been evaluated by CDR. Willow’s Wings Animal Sanctuary and Rescue will make all decisions regarding her adoption.*** Hi, my name is BlueBelle, and I am a sweet, friendly, active, playful little puppy! I am 7 months old, I weigh 10 pounds, and am a spayed female Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel/Poodle mix). History I was surrendered to Willow’s Wings Animal Sanctuary by my owner because I am deaf. I guess she/he didn’t know that there are lots of ways to communicate well with a deaf dog, like learning to use hand signals, touch signals, and using a little vibrating collar thingee (not a shock, a vibration!) that can get my attention. Good dog trainers can teach you a…

Willow’s Wings Animal Sanctuary and Rescue will make all decisions regarding her adoption.*** History I spent the first 2 years of my life living outside under a house or in a shed. No one ever petted me or held me or talked to me, so I am nervous about people I don’t know.   I was seized in a cruelty case with my 32 brothers and sisters. . I have since learned to trust a few people, and it’s opening up a whole new world for me.  But it’s…

My name is Bessie and I’m a big, goofy sweetheart who wants to laze around, snuggle with you and be your very best buddy! History I have lived with two families in my life. The first family had me from puppyhood to age 5, at which point they decided they didn’t have enough time for me. A new family took me home after that, and they were told how amazing and wonderful I am (all true!) but weren’t told that I had reactivity to other dogs and that I would need some positive reinforcement training help with this. My current family loves me, but aren’t able to do this training with me, and as I am a strong girl, they find…

My name is Mina, I am from St Croix, and I love affection, playing with other dogs, snuggling, swimming and fun. History Mina was living under a vacant house in St. Croix, tending to her litter of pups as best she could. She was discovered when a painter heard the puppies crying and called rescuers with Cruzan Satos Rescue. They coaxed her out by gathering up the puppies and waiting for them to cry for her. They did cry, and Mina came out. She was shy and scared, but incredibly sweet. Even from under that house, she was eating from human hands. After making sure that the whole dog family was safely out from under the house, the puppies…
