A Social Experiment

June 20, 2016 by CVRR

Remember our social experiment? "After business is done and the world has been conquered, a bit of silliness generally ensues after board meetings. In this case, we were picking on our dearly adored and youngest board member and her (throat clear) *creative naming.... Kids these days and their wild ideas. ?? We were discussing how, as silly as it sounds, by choosing a … [Read more...]

Give Me a Chance, I Think You Might Like Me!

March 28, 2016 by CVRR

I went to story time at the library today with my one year old son. While I thought maybe Charlie and I MIGHT make friends there today I'm afraid I was THAT mom. While trying to get my son and I ready I found out story time was starting earlier than I had thought. So I just threw on the clothes from the dryer that had not dried yet, really they were there first pants and shirt … [Read more...]

Laura

March 6, 2016 by CVRR

As a kid I spent my days building makeshift agility courses for my family dogs...boxes duct taped in a row for tunnels, and 2x4’s precariously balanced across cement blocks as jumps. My dogs were my constant companions on every adventure and my trusted allies….partners in mischief. Several decades later and not much has changed. I got involved in rescue about 5 years … [Read more...]

Education Equals Change

March 6, 2016 by CVRR

I'm a firm believer in being a voice, a firm loud voice if need be, for those who cannot defend themselves. In the rescue world you will find some of the most vocal, assertive, opinionated, and loyal people, you'll ever meet. You'll also find that we can also be a little crazy :). It comes with the territory. But all those things we have to be. We have to be relentless to see … [Read more...]

Adopting a Puppy is Like Getting Married

March 6, 2016 by CVRR

Adopting a puppy is kind of like getting married. A young couple on cloud nine, dressed to the nines and staring lovingly into one another's eyes as they take their vows...They aren't thinking of the spats over his inability to put socks in the hamper, or how they will grow and change as time goes on. When you pick up that little fluffy puppy...your heart nearly bursting as he … [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
