Story
Meet Speedy Gonzales, a tender-hearted senior who has truly mastered thebeauty of a quiet, slow-paced life. His fast-lane days are behind him, and hewouldn’t have it any other way. These days, he moves through the world at agentler pace, fully embracing his role as a distinguished gentleman. While he’s pretty content to let the younger dogs do the chasing in his foster home, Speedy would be happiest having all the attention on him rather than sharing with other dogs in the house.He is house-trained and follows a simple routine, briefly heading outside everyfew hours, and sometimes letting you know it’s time with a gentle stare at thedoor. If he waits at the door a little too long, he’ll release his signature little sound,that’s impossible not to smile at. He doesn’t need a crate and is perfectly well-mannered when left home alone. With just a few teeth left, he enjoys savoringwet food and thrives in a peaceful, predictable environment. This wise old soul nolonger has a need to win awards or learn new or tricks, at this point in this life,the greatest accomplishment he desires, is to offers quiet devotion, gentlecompanionship, and the kind of love that settles deep into your heart.Speedy Gonzales would thrive in a calm, loving home where life moves slowlyand softly. A peaceful household with respectful adults or older children would beideal, especially since he doesn’t like to be startled due to his limited vision. He’dbe perfectly happy sharing his space with mellow dogs or cats who enjoy quietcoexistence. Most of all, Speedy is looking for someone who cherishes slowmornings, cozy evenings, and the profound, unspoken bond that comes fromloving a senior dog who wants nothing more than to rest faithfully by your side.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
HELLO! We are Spuds and Winnie… the perfect senior dynamic duo. Our beloved owner passed away and left us without a home. CDR stepped up and helped us find a soft place to land while we look far and wide for our furever home together. We have been together for 10 years, but when you meet us, you will realize that we still have quite a bit of pep left in our steps! And we will still make the perfect companions for someone looking for fun and lots of love! Our foster Dad asked us to tell you a bit about us, so here we go: Hello! My name is Spuds, but you can just call me “silly boy” because my foster Dad says I’m just a happy-go-lucky little dude. I LOVE playing in the yard, exploring the yard, just hanging out in the yard! In fact, sometimes my foster Dad has to make me come in! I have a cute, quiet bark to let you know it’s play time, potty time or hey! I’m hungry! I am short-haired, which means I will always look my most handsome with a bath and some brushing! And speaking of eating, I would like a cozy space of my own to eat in because I will steal the other dog’s food every chance I get. I guess you could say I’m a chow hound! Even though I’m an older boy, I still love to run and jump, and I walk great on a leash! AND… Hello! My name is Winnie, or Win for short. My foster Dad says whoever adopts Spuds and I will be the WINNER! I am VERY sweet and very cuddly, and will curl up in your arms as much as you will let me! But don’t let my hold me, please attitude fool you! I am quick on my feet and love to play with all the other dogs at my foster home. I must admit that yelling and strange, loud noises scare the heck out of me, so a quiet home would be perfect! And full disclosure, I have a heart murmur that requires me to take ½ a pill twice a day, but that murmur doesn’t slow me down at all! If you would like to meet us, please fill out a preadoption application, and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quick as they can! Sweet cuddles and happy tails-Spuds and Winnie

Story
Tucker was surrendered in Oklahoma and was left with no options. When he arrived in Illinois we quickly learned that men were on his "naughty" list and that he may have had a harder first few years than we had hoped. Lucky for him he found an amazing foster mama who took him in and showed him a life of love and companionship. He is great with dogs and cats and crate trained. He can be a little naughty with potty if not watched but has gotten better every month he is here. He loves to lounge on the couch after a jaunt around the yard and will be your best side kick with his loyal nature. Tuckers ideal home would be similar to his fosters- an understanding mama ( no daddy please) with or without other dogs and cats, and no kiddos. Tucker has a lot of love and silly antics to share with the right family. Could it be yours ??

Story
Archie is a 2 year old mix breed boy weighing 12 pounds. Archie is the perfect combination of playful and chill. He has a puppy enthusiasm for life and playing with the other dogs, but he also loves snuggling and sleeping on the couch by his people. He adores the cat as well, but the cat does not reciprocate and swatted him after he kept trying to kiss the cat! Archie is still a bit timid because his first two years of life did not include living in a house and being around loving people. But this wonderful dog doesn't have an ounce of aggression in his body. He's good with kids as well. His tail doesn't stop wagging, even when he's scared - it just wags lower. He's very athletic and can walk on his hind legs and leap high in the air. He's gentle when taking treats, he's just a delight! Archie needs to go to a home with another dog because he takes comfort and cues from them. He follows them outside to do his business and comes back inside when they do. Vigilance is still needed so that he goes outside at appropriate times to potty. Archie's routine: Wake up, leave crate to go out and potty and jump for joy in the air. Jump on bed to wake sleeping human with kisses. Breakfast in crate. Midmorning nap before going outside again. Snuggle with other dogs by the window and join them in alerting to people and dogs walking by. Naptime in crate. Outside before having dinner in crate. Snuggle with humans while watching TV in the evening. Out once more before bedtime in crate in bedroom. He's a young dog who will blossom in the right home. He is capable of giving so much love and affection, in fact he really really wants to. He just needs a bit of patience and a lot of love.

Story
Baby Bat embodies the personality, uniqueness and likeness of the Batman. First, he works alone. No sidekicks or partners. He prefers solitude and his space. Baby Bat has lived with his foster and her dog pack for 5 years, he gets along with them but tolerates them at most. He would do well in a home where he is the only dog, no children, and adults only. Next, Baby Bat is an apex predator. Which means he needs his sleep and food and not to be interrupted or coddled when given either. Baby Bat is not a lap or cuddly dog. Finally, did we mention Baby Bat is a Chihuahua mix? That's a really important detail! Baby Bat is a great and loyal dog seeking a great family to adopt him! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
