Story
Buddy belonged to my late uncle who recently passed, and we want to find a kind and caring family who will give him the attention and love he deserves in his golden years. Buddy is up to date on all vaccinations and is overall in great health for his age. He's currently on daily medications for anxiety and dry eyes (eye drops), but he's doing well. His anti-anxiety meds help keep him calm and happy, and with the right owner, possible the medication could be adjusted to only be used for stressful events (like thunderstorms). Buddy is gentle, loving, and enjoys quiet companionship and would do best in a home without young children or other pets. He will thrive in a peaceful environment, ideally with someone who's home more often and can provide a lot of affection. He loves going on walks and basking in the warm sunshine. Buddy is currently located in the Chestnut Mountain neighborhood and looking for a family who can give him a calm and loving home where he can enjoy his senior years.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Coal and Ziggy found themselves homeless after the passing of their owner in November 2024. They are sweet dogs who have been together since they were puppies and would thrive adopted together. Ziggy is quite active, while Coal is quieter. Coal is on arthritis medication and is mostly blind, and Ziggy has cataracts but can still see well. Both are neutered and up to date on their rabies vaccinations. The adoption fee is $100 for both dogs together.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/. 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. December 22, 2024, 2:56 pm
