8 Ways to Help Curb Unwanted Puppy Behavior

March 28, 2017 by CVRR

We do our best to match people and dogs based on their households, energy requirements, and personality but one of the many challenges is that just like people can be different in different situations and environments, so too can dogs. We sent this guy off to a household with kids because he was (and is) phenomenal with my two year old daughter. In his adoptive home, once … [Read more...]

Robbie & Joy

September 18, 2016 by CVRR

My name is Joy and I have been volunteering since the summer of 2013. I started volunteering to fill community service hours required by my college for graduation. I saw a plea on facebook asking for cat volunteers and that is where I started off. A few months later, I fostered my first dog (who ultimately became my first foster failure - I adopted him!) I fostered several … [Read more...]

Amber

September 18, 2016 by CVRR

Ever since since I could crawl and walk animals had always been my point of attention. I was constantly crawling under porches, sheds, wood piles, you name it to rescue kittens and any other critter I could find that needed help. Fast forward 20 years later and not a single thing has changed. I'm always the first to pull over on a busy highway with a leash to grab that dog in … [Read more...]

The Muhoro Family

September 18, 2016 by CVRR

Hi, my name is Emily! I have one resident dog and her name is Ellie.  She is an English Mastiff and basically my child.  Yes, I am THAT dog-mom and no, I am not ashamed. I started volunteering by fostering dogs in 2014, for Christian Service credit when I was a student at Liberty University. Laura (our founder) works at the vet’s office that I take my dog to and she is … [Read more...]

**Bella - SPICY Diva**Bella is a 2-year-old chorkie (Yorkie + Chihuahua), which basically means she comes pre-loaded with confidence, loyalty, and just a touch of “I run this house.” 😄 Please DO NOT APPLY FOR HER WITHOUT READING HER FULL PROFILE. Yorkies were bred to be bold little hunters, and Chihuahuas are famously devoted to their person—so when you combine the two, you get a dog who is loving, alert, and… >>>very selective.Bella doesn’t do “strangers.” She does “approved guests only,” and even that list can change without notice. One person walks in? She’s in love. The next? She’s launching a full investigation… starting with your shoes. And yes—we mean that literally--a full on attack of the shoes! If Bella doesn’t like you, your shoes are not safe. 😅There is no clear pattern to who she chooses. Bella simply loves who she loves—and if she doesn’t, she will let you know quickly. ***She may also go after another small dog if she’s not pleased, so she will need careful management, slow introductions, or to be the only pet in the home.***Now the flip side—when Bella chooses you? She is all in. 💛You’ll have a fiercely loyal, ride-or-die cuddle buddy who will happily claim her spot next to you on the sofa and take her job as your personal security system very seriously.The fine print (because Bella insists):! Must be willing to actively socialize and manage her OR! Be comfortable crating her when guests visit! Must understand she may be protective, reactive, and unpredictable with new people! Must be prepared to manage interactions with other small dogs! Must accept that Bella is the one conducting the interviewsThe perks:✔️ Crates like a pro✔️ Loves snuggling (on her terms, of course)✔️ Enjoys chasing tennis balls and chewing on Kong toys✔️ Big personality in a tiny, scruffy packageBella isn’t just looking for a home—she’s looking for her person.And trust us… she will let you know if that person is you.Apply if you’re ready to be chosen.Because Bella? She ain’t playin’. 😎🐶 ... See MoreSee Less
