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...]

When Rescue Became My Family

January 30, 2016 by CVRR

When I first started volunteering for Community Service hours as a college student, I never could have possibly imagined the impact that the rescue community would have on me. One of these things that I never expected was that rescue became my family. In my case, this happened quite literally, as I married my husband as a result of a blind date set up by Laura! I simply cannot … [Read more...]

Welcome to the Sunshine {Kalea’s Introduction Post}

January 30, 2016 by CVRR

So I have been contemplating what would be my first CVRR post. I know there will be many more, but there's only one first post and first impression. I truly love both my job and volunteer job. My full time job is an elementary school counselor. I LOVE the kids I work with, there are fun days and challenging days but no day is the same and each day I am making an impact on their … [Read more...]

Matchmaker Laura

January 23, 2016 by CVRR

Once upon a time there was a foster dog coordinator... We will call her Laura... Just for fun. She had two single, good natured animal lovers that fostered dogs for her. They didn't know each other well... Just occasionally bumped elbows at adoption events. But Laura noticed Robbie's gaze linger a little on Joy, and her cheeks blush a little when she mentioned Robbie.... So … [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
