Dallas didn't start out with the best start and was left to be forgotten. Once at the shelter, she was shown what it could mean to have baths and food. Now in foster care she is being pampered with AC, warm blankets, and belly rubs. Dallas is super sweet. 

Update: Dallas is one amazing pup. She is super sad that her foster mom has no kids to play with. Dallas would love to be part of a family home. 

Update: Dallas is submissive and sweet. He's good with other animals and exceptional with children! If you have kids, Dallas is the dog for you!

Update: One of the most frustrating things in rescue is how very frequently the BEST dogs are overlooked because they are "ordinary hounds". Plenty of families right now are looking for a dog who will play nicely alongside side their children. You can't TEACH a good temperament. Genetics play a tremendous part in how confident an animal is with new scary things...how easily they adapt and trust. What does that translate to? When your toddler learns how to blow raspberries and wants to run everywhere noisily spitting like a sprinkler, or your 5 year old wants to do cartwheels while making monkey noises along the length of the living room, Dallas here is going to have the natural reaction of "oh how too interesting... can I join in this fun new game!" That's what you need. Forget breed. Choose a rock-solid, bomb-proof, confident KIDS dog. Dallas is a winner.

Like all puppies, adopters can expect any puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal energetic puppy issues (jumping, mouthing, general youthful naughtiness). Because this is a guess of breed mixture, we can not guarantee a pet's weight and you should not apply for a puppy if your place has weight restrictions or you are looking for an ideal weight. You can always check out the adult dogs, whose weight we do know!

This dog's doption fee is $175, which covers the following: spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing, dhp/p, rabies, bordatella, age appropriate vaccines, deworming, and all the care he/she received while with CVRR. All animals are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for their duration in fostercare. We are an all-volunteer group, who process the applications so please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications. This includes reference checks and follow-up questions.  You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone and email addresses for all your references. Time to make phone calls is limited and we often have multiple applications in process. We make every effort to move through them as quickly as possible. If your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the dog picks you too. If it seems that the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee and an adoption contract to be signed. The adoption fees help cover a portion of the care provided to the animals. All dogs and cats are microchipped and all animals adopted out are spayed/neutered and fully vetted. All of our animals have a lifetime commitment. If for any reason, the adoption does not work out, the cat/dog is to come back to CVRR, which is a NO KILL rescue. The foster family and the rescue volunteers will choose the new home based on the best fit for the dog/cat.

The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care.

Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy.

We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter.

CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract.

CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it.
