Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Cypress is a sweet, biddable boy who LOVES to give kisses. When your face is remotely near him, he will find a way to give you all the kisses in the world. If you’re looking for a family dog, this is your guy! With his even-tempered personality, he naturally finds a place for himself wherever he goes. Sometimes he loves to be in the middle of the action and other times he is content to observe from the perimeter while chewing on a bone. Cypress loves to play fetch, bonus points if it’s with a squeaky ball. While Cypress does very well with children of all ages, he would do best in a home with older children as he is a good sized dog who is still working on his manners. Cypress is fully house and crate trained and knows sit. Because he loves people so much, Cypress will voice his displeasure when first put in his crate but then will settle down on his own after a few minutes. As of right now, adventuring into the wild blue yonder is not what Cypress was built for as he has a definite skittish side. His favorite place is at home with his humans and he is happiest there. He also prefers settings with ideally one other dog, as large groups of dogs tend to make him more nervous. All said and done, Cypress is an incredibly loving, friendly fella who is longing for a furever couch to call his own and will fill the hole in your heart that you didn’t know you had until you met him. P.S. He also LOVES frozen carrots, strawberries, and blueberries.

They will be completely vaccinated, vetted, neutered/spayed (if age appropriate) and on heartworm protection. All of them come with complete medical records. They are transported to you with our USDA licensed and certified transport – Rescue Riders LLC, “The most animal-friendly transport on the road.”
Their adoption fees vary but, in all cases, it covers the animals vetting, vaccinations, spay/neuter as well as their foster care, and their transportation to your area.
Thank you for opening your home to a rescue animal.
ADOPT, DON'T SHOP.

Go meet their pets
Our rescues generally do not have an actual shelter building in the New England area. This means it is often not possible to meet these babies prior to their adoption however all of these rescues have been rehoming dogs to the North East for many years and are happy to offer you references who can fill you in on their experience and how well the process works.
There is generally a money-back guarantee and a mechanism for returning the dog to the rescue if needed. All these rescues then work to re-home the animal. None are returned to a shelter. We never leave a rescue behind!

More about this rescue
Rescue Riders Cooperative is a group of rescues across the southeast that are linked together by our love of animals and our desire to see as many as possible in the loving arms of a new family. Each rescue is independently run but realizing that there is strength in numbers, we have formed a cooperative to work together to place as many animals as possible.
Not only do the rescues save these animals and give them badly needed health care but they also work tirelessly in their home communities to help educate people regarding the importance of spay & neuter and how it reduces pet overpopulation.
When you adopt one of their dogs you help with this mission. We all thank you for that support and for opening your home and heart to an animal who needs you. You are a hero!
