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…

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…

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…

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…

My name is Jackie and I am loving life after being rescued from a high kill shelter in North Carolina.
