Story
We love Chopper but unfortunately our living situation is changing and we can no longer parent him. We adopted Chopper from the Humane Rescue Alliance approximately 9 years ago. We don't know his exact age, but we think he's probably 10 years old. He has brought a lot of joy to our family. He is loyal and very chill. Yet he is protective and has to warm up to new people. His veterinary care is documented and up to date. Though we adopted him when our son was 10, I don't think he has the patience anymore to be around children. Ideally, I think a home with 1-2 adults would be best for him. Even though he cannot run like he used to, he loves being outdoors in a spot where the sunlight directly shines on him. He has never been around cats, so I wouldn't recommend. He does well at doggy daycare and playing with my sister's Bichon. We are hopeful that Chopz (his nickname) can find a new loving home and never sees the inside of a shelter again.

We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model). Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis. Most cats and dogs will have a house-training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained. We also update our Facebook page daily with new cats and dogs.

Story
Meet Ella. This pretty Collie mix was originally picked up as a stray, found roaming in rural SC. She ended up in a shelter and was very thin and terrified.  She went into decline at the shelter, so the staff reached out to our team with a plea for help. We took Ella in and quickly learned she was anxious about change and is a pup who will need time to trust and settle in….but she can acclimate and be a happy dog.  Ella was fostered in the Carolinas for a few months while she rehabilitated and was introduced to home life. She had a wonderful foster family who helped her integrate and connect as part of a family. We had a chance to get to know her better in her foster home and her needs. We learned that she is a sweet pup who is unsure. She needs someone to guide her, and time to open up to new people. She came to N. VA late 2022 and we thought we had a committed adopter for her, but Ella is back in our care now, and we are looking for her true forever home. Ella has been blessed to get two excellent foster homes. She is currently being fostered in a quiet area of Catharpin and doing well. She’s living a single woman, Tonia, and has made a real connection. She watches her for guidance, seeks out pets, and gives consistent tail wags. We are so happy to see her progress. She is not a difficult dog, but she will need a patient owner who is willing to work to gain her trust; someone who will engage her and help her work through her insecurities.  We brought in a professional trainer to assess Ella after she lost her home. She was depressed and had gained weight in her adoptive home, so we spent the past few months getting her back on track with daily walks and giving her the stable, consistent routine she needs.  After two months of rehab that included daily exercse and a consistent routine, Tonia shared this update: "Ella is doing amazing and is a totally different dog! She's gone from laying by the door, staring away from me, to looking to me for "what are we doing now?" She's outside right now, in the grass, chewing on her turkey tendons I got from Chewy. She loves them. She's doing better engaging with company now. She's fine as long as everyone is sitting down. But when they stand, she may bark at men. Women are better than men in her eyes, but she's not aggressive towards anyone. She even likes some people now too. " Inside the home, Ella’s house manners are excellent - she’s housetrained and crate trained and does fine being left home alone. We’ve learned that she LOVES walking on the trails with her foster mom and will run and explore the creek beds where she really comes alive. She also likes hanging out in the backyard grass chewing on her favorite treat keeping an eye on oll the critters. Ella is a country girl at heart and is not meant for city living, so we are looking for an adopter in the quiet suburbs or more rural parts of our region. While Ella is not one to seek out conflict, she is fearful of other dogs and is best as an only dog. She did coexist peacefully in her prior foster home with cats. Her family did a very gradual introduction, and she learned to respect the kitties’ space…so cats with a savvy owner are possible. We are looking for that special someone for Ella who can give her a calm, stable home environment and is willing to invest in helping her grow. She is a low to moderate-energy pup, and would love a large yard to explore but does not need a lot of exercise. She will make an excellent hiking buddy and really enjoys exploring the outdoors. BREED ESTIMATE: Border Collie Mix/Mutt Mix GENDER: Female APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  46 lbs (needs to lose a few pounds) APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 5 years COAT TYPE:  Short ADOPTION FEE: $400 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/spayed/microchipped + dental LOCATION:  Catharpin, VA   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. September 30, 2023, 11:48 am

Story
Going along with the fall season and apple time, we decided to name these pups after apples! We always have a "name that litter" contest on Facebook and the apple theme was the winner. Here's their story. Mama is a full blooded Border Collie who was dumped off in a church parking lot. The parishioners started feeding her so she hung around. After a while they could see that she was pregnant so they reached out for help. By the time we had arrived mama Phoebe had crawled under a huge rock where there was a little cave, soooo, we literally had to belly crawl into the cave to get the babies! They were just hours old but healthy and safe. We can tell you for sure that mama is a pure bred but it's appears that there was more than one daddy involved here!. Being that they are at least 50% border Collie, they will be very smart and pretty high energy. Be sure to research the breed before you apply! Their birthday is 7/19/23 They won't be ready for transport till mid October PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $650

Story
his stunning 3 year old, 50 pound Border Collie girl is called Evee and she is looking for a home where she can be herself.  This girl needs an active person or family or couple to take her on hikes, jogs, walks and just a lifestyle filled with experiences that are stimulating and challenging mentally.  Border Collies are so very smart and it is not good for them to be bored or ignored.  We are looking for a situation with perhaps older children, empty nesting couple that wants a strong minded and loving dog that will be devoted to them.  She is housebroken, crate trained and needsto be out and about experiencing new things in her life, so that she is less nervous meeting new people and going places. She has led a very limited life so far and we want to see her have more FUN!  She is a beauty that is striking with her shiny black coat with snow while accents.  She is the definition of 'Black and White' coloring.  It would be ideal for her to be in a home with a secure, fenced yard.  If you are interested in our girl Evee please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com   She is ready for a happier new chapter in her life. PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comSeptember 30, 2023, 1:13 pm

We think he might be more of a Unicorn. After all, he's a laid back border collie who does not need a job. Nope. He's happy to chill --and play if you're interested. He's no chicken, just a very dignified 3 year old who seems to love humans of all sizes, including the teacup variety. He'll take a treat every so gently from your hand and calmly lead you on his leash whereever he wants to go. He gets along fine with other calm, well-mannered dogs, but does not suffer hyperactive canine fools gladly. He'll signal his disdain with a low growl that might turn into a firm bark for dogs who can't take a hint.   If  you're looking for some extra love in your life, look no further, charming Chicken has got it covered! He is looking for someone who will be there for him and love him always. Not a lot to ask for all the unconditional love you’ll get in return.

Meet Pretzel! This six year old, 43 pound boy is a cool combo of all black with brindled legs. Not totally sure of his mix (maybe part Kelpie, Shepherd, Lab?) but we are sure he is a sweet, smart, and good boy! House and crate trained, he knows commands (sit, down, shake, but stay could use a little work), great with recall too. His owner surrendered him due to military service/relocation. He is building confidence in a quiet foster home - enjoying a fenced yard, basket of squeaky toys, comfy dog bed, and the company of human adults (as he follows their every move). He is a little shy at first but warms up. If you are looking for an all-around great buddy, look no further than Pretzel! Pretzel is neutered and is up to date on vaccines and preventatives. The adoption fee for this dog is $350 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. Petconnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060. You can also go to our Facebook page... https://www.facebook.com/Pet-Central-SATX-866684826744181/ and LIKE us to help us out. COCO-2 is a delightful dog that is smart, active, and loves attention. She is about 1 1/2 yrs old and we think she is an Australian Cattle Dog mixed with Boxer...best guess. She has not had a lot of training...manners/behavior. She has been outside most of the time. The few times she has come in she has been calm and inquisitive. I did introduce her to one of my cats and she backed off quickly. She was more afraid of the cat than the cat was of her. This is not a guarantee that she won't pester a cat after she becomes comfortable in the house but she at least doesn't have the "prey" drive to turn the cat into dinner. She has been receiving leash training of which she is doing very well... walking calmly, not pulling. She loves attention... hugs and kisses. After we review your application, we will contact you, and you'll have the opportunity to find out more from the rescue. If you experience any issues filling out the application you can contact us directly at petcentralsatx@gmail.com. This is ONLY if you have problems applying. If you have not applied, you will not receive a response so please only email if you have any issues applying. Adoption Fees The adoption fee includes transportation to the NE. All pups and dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, dewormed, have a negative heart worm test for all dogs over 6 months at time of transport, have a health certificate, and have all age-appropriate vaccinations. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and other vetting. All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog. This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. Also, one application is good even if you are interested in several different dogs...one application no matter which one you choose. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. We firmly believe there is NO breed other than "rescue" for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.
