Artemis is a sweet young girl.  Even though she had a big litter of 9 puppies, she is young herself; we estimate about 2 years old.  She's a medium 35 lb mix-breed (we can only maybe guess pittie and hound?), with beautiful brindle orange/brown and black coloring with a white patch on her chest.  She is sweet and submissive; cautious with strangers, but wants to be loved!  She's a good protector of her babies, and is starting to warm up to her foster family! 

In the short time she's been in our care, we have noticed that she needs time to warm up to strangers (adults, kids, and other dogs).  She is quite affectionate and warm to her foster mom already, but still a bit nervous around the foster dad, kids, and other family dog.  We think, with training and socialization, she will warm up nicely, but it's best for her to be in a quiet and respectful atmosphere while she's learning how to love and be loved.  We think she came from a home where she was not interacted with much at all, and she was kept outdoors.  Her potty habits are already great though; she wants to go outside, or on a training pad at the very least.  She is also starting to get more comfortable on a leash, just around the yard for now.

Our first step is an application which can be filled out at:   www.cvrrescue.org 

The adoption fee for this dog is $175.00 which helps to cover a portion of the care provided, including: spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing, deworming, age appropriate vaccinations: DHLP/P, Bordetella, Rabies, and any medical care received while with CVRR.  All animals are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care.

CVRR is a nonprofit organization, we have no paid staff. Applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it takes an average of 7-14 days to process the applications including reference checks and follow-up questions.   You can expedite the process by providing phone and email info for all your references.  

Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the dog picks you too.  If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee and an adoption contract to be signed.  The adoption fee helps to cover a portion of the care provided to the animals.   By the time of adoption all dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vetting.

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 is to be returned to CVRR.   We will re-evaluate and choose a new home based on the best fit for that particular animal.

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.
