Story
Meet this sweet 6-month-old Dogue de Bordeaux with a heart as big as her paws. She can be a little shy at first and may hang back with new people, but give her a little patience (and maybe a gentle coax), and she quickly blossoms into an affectionate, attention-loving companion. She’s playful, bouncy, and full of energy—always ready for a game or a romp with another dog. In fact, she would thrive in a home with a canine buddy to help build her confidence and keep her happily entertained. She already knows some basic commands like sit, down, and shake, and she’s eager to keep learning.She’s looking for a family who can give her the time, love, and reassurance she needs to feel safe and secure. Because loud noises like thunder can be scary for her, she’ll do best with someone who understands and can help her through those moments. With a little patience and a lot of love, this super sweet, affectionate girl will be an incredibly loyal and devoted companion.Opal’s adoption fee is $200, and an additional $200 deposit is required, which will be refunded upon proof of spaying. *Approved applicants are welcome to participate in our popular Slumber Party program and take a dog home for up to 2 weeks to make sure he/she is a great fit.  If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application at www.caninerescue.org. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again when you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email us at adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopters must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide. If they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone, so advise your references that there may be an unknown or private number calling them. Thank you!

Story
We’re looking for a new loving home for our sweet girl. This is not an easy decision for us, and we truly want to find someone who will treat her like family. She is a very well-behaved and gentle dog. She can be a little timid and gets startled easily sometimes, but she is incredibly sweet, quiet, and never aggressive. Once she feels safe, she is very affectionate and loves being around her people. She has a bit of a sensitive stomach, so we don’t switch her food often or give too many treats. As long as she stays on the same food, she does perfectly fine and healthy. She already knows basic commands like sit, shake, and lie down, and she has great recall—she will come back when called. She is easy to manage and has no behavioral issues. She would do best in a calm, patient home where she can feel safe and loved. If you think you could be the right home for her, please reach out. We just want her to be happy and well cared for.
