Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Update:  Thankfully, Bleu and Rez were able to move to a foster home together. Due to their Grandpaw's status, they are going to be a hard adoption, but it's even harder to live in a kennel day after day. They now have a nice big yard and a house with doggy doors. Foster mom says they are the nicest dogs ever with great manners.They integrated beautifully with the other dogs.They're very active, they certainly don't act their age. Now they can be adopted individually or together.  Bleu and Rez were found in their home after their owner passed away. They are both really nice dogs and very healthy. It would be wonderful if they could be adopted together. See their letter below to Santa.GrandPaws applies to any dog age 7 years or older. The adoption fees are reduced to help offset veterinary costs that occur as dogs age.  If you would like to adopt a GrandPaws please complete our online application at www.cvrr.usVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 8, 2026, 1:43 pm
