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…

Jackie

** COURTESY POST ** Hi everyone! My name is Jackie and I am loving life after being rescued from a high kill shelter in North Carolina. Breed: Dachshund/Corgi Mix Gender: Female spayed Age: 1-2 years old Size: 28 lbs Good with… Dogs?Yes, see below Cats?Maybe Kids?Yes Hi everyone! My name is Jackie and I am loving life after being rescued from a high kill shelter in North Carolina. For reasons that remain a mystery, I was at the shelter for over a month and on the put to sleep list for two weeks because it was so crowded. Things worked out for me when I gave the photographer my best smile and my silly picture was seen by a great rescue group as well as a man way up in NY who just knew I would fit into his home while we waited for my forever family to find me.…

Their family friend and caretaker tried to take care of me, coming twice a day to feed me and walk me in my empty house, but we soon realized I needed a new home where…

Adopted: Shay

Hi, my name is Shay and I am a very cheerful, loving, and adorable 8 year old Beagle! Quick Facts: Breed: Beagle Gender: Female spayed Age: 8 yrs old Size: 20 lb Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes! History I, along with 3 of my Beagle buddies, lived a very traditional former life, as hunting Beagles. Our owners were a very nice older couple– we got to go on occasional rabbit hunting expeditions and we lived full-time in nice indoor/outdoor kennels. Our owners were super nice, but we weren’t indoor pets, so we weren’t exposed to lots of time with people, or all the ways of indoor living (like couches! And watching movies while having snuggle time!). One of our owners sadly passed away and the other has health issues and is not able to take care of us anymore. Three of us already found homes through CDR,…

Lily

We have very sad news. Our longest resident foster dog, Lily, who came to us in 2011, passed away last Friday from hemangiosarcoma, in the arms of her foster mom and dad, and with foster siblings Sammy and Elfie at her side. Lily was a good, good, good girl. Rescued from a high-kill shelter in KY, she joined the CDR foster care program when she was just 4 months old. She arrived to us with one of her ears half cut-off and with a fractured pelvis. And a fear of children of a certain height, and short, heavyset blonde women. Clearly, she had suffered something traumatic in her first months. But such a spirit she had! A pup who was more filled with love and humor, good nature and joy, you could not have found! Lily was all about fun-fun-fun, and kisses-kisses-kisses. 😊 But that pelvis fracture that she arrived…
