Story
If you’re looking for a sweet, loving, fun and good natured family dog, this is the litter for you…you can’t go wrong with any puppy in this litter! They are the BEST puppies! There are eight of them…we’ll be posting the others over the next week or two. Their pregnant mom showed up at a nice family’s home and had her puppies as soon as she got there. The family cared for them until they were old enough to wean, spoiling them rotten the whole time. They have never known anything but love and kindness since the second they were born. These little love bugs have the biggest time playing with each other, their toys, kids and they LOVE playing in their wading pool full of water…guess it’s the Lab in them. By the way, that loving family kept Mom, so she will have her dream life too! All this baby girl needs now is a fun and active family to love her and include her in their everyday comings and goings. Zuri is 12 weeks old (dob 6/7/25), weighs 21 pounds, has been spayed, microchipped, fecal tested, current on all vaccinations, worming and is on heartworm and flea prevention. Her adoption fee is $400. Zuri is being fostered in Tennessee. Once adopted she will be transported to her pickup location by a professional dog transport company. Our rescue ships to the New England area every week and her fee includes transportation. Due to state laws, we cannot accept applications from residents of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Maine since we can’t adopt directly to those states.

Story
Lady, Female, Labrador Retriever Mix, Age 2 years, weight 45 pounds Lady is a gentle, affectionate Black Lab mix looking for a home where she can truly belong. Once a pregnant stray, she was taken in by a family but kept chained to a tree, where she gave birth to her puppies. Her little ones found loving homes, and now it’s Lady’s turn to be cherished. She’s a shy but sweet girl who takes time to trust, but for the right person, she will be the most devoted companion. Lady may not be the type to rush up to strangers, but once she bonds with you, she’ll be your loyal shadow. She’s looking for a peaceful home with gentle hands and a patient heart—someone who understands that some of the best friendships take time to grow. If you’re ready to give Lady the love she’s always deserved, she’s ready to meet you. * The adoption fee of $475 includes age-appropriate vaccines, initial de-worming, spay/neuter surgery, microchip and transport fee.   * The application is the first step in all inquiries and adoptions     Canine Compassion Fund - Online Adoption Application www.caninecompassionfund.org/Forms/OnlineAdoptionApplication   * Additional information is available on our site caninecompassionfund.org January 31, 2025, 11:52 am

Story
Woodstock   Male, Labrador retriever/terrier mix, Age 11 months (12/25/2023), weight 55 pounds   You know, they say you can’t judge a book by its cover, and Woodstock seems to embody that in the most literal way. Not quite "pit" enough for some, and maybe a touch too much for others, he’s the kind of dog that forces you to question your own assumptions. Spend a little time with him, and you'll discover a heart that’s enormous, as deep and soulful as his eyes. He’s the soon-to-be favorite on your couch, not to mention your new go-to snuggle buddy. There’s a quiet determination in the way he’s eager to learn, mastering ‘sit’, ‘down’, and ‘speak’ as if proving a point. He approaches new people and pups with a gentle, almost cautious curiosity, as if assessing whether they’re worthy of his loyalty. But once you’re in, you’re in for life. Woodstock doesn’t just bring energy to a room; he brings a certain warmth, a comfort that only comes from a dog who’s seen the rough side of life and decided that love is the only way forward. Whether he’s engaging in a lively game of tug-of-war with his pals or acting as the gentle overseer for the younger ones (they’ve all taken to calling him Uncle Woody), he’s got that rare blend of playfulness and responsibility. When the day winds down, though, it’s all about the snuggles. He’ll curl up next to you on the couch, content with a chewie bone, a stuffed toy, and your presence. He’s not too keen on cats or loud kids, making him the ideal companion for someone looking for a quieter home. The truth is, Woodstock’s story is as big as his heart. Found alongside his brother Snoopy, abandoned and starving, it’s a wonder he’s come so far. Malnutrition left its mark on his left forepaw, but he doesn’t let that slow him down. He runs, plays, and lives with a kind of zest that’s nothing short of inspiring. His paw, slightly malformed from Rickets, may never fully correct, but it’s just a small part of a much larger, braver story. What Woodstock needs now is someone who sees not just his flaws but the journey he’s been on, someone who values the resilience and love he has to offer.   Good with Dogs Good with kids 7+ No cats House training in Progress     * The adoption fee of $285 includes age-appropriate vaccines, initial de-worming, spay/neuter surgery, microchip and transport fee.   * The application is the first step in all inquiries and adoptions     Canine Compassion Fund - Online Adoption Application www.caninecompassionfund.org/Forms/OnlineAdoptionApplication   * Additional information is available on our site caninecompassionfund.org December 9, 2024, 12:05 pm

Story
Cooper was brought to me as a last ditch effort to figure out what his behavioral triggers are and hopefully to help him find a much deserved well-fit forever home. Cooper is a BIG, handsome American Yellow lab. He is well behaved at the vet and during grooming (nail trims, baths, etc.). He is extremely smart and perceptive–unlike any other dog I’ve seen in the last 24 years, you cannot fake your way out of your emotions and energy with Coop. He will know exactly what you’re meaning & feeling regardless of what you’re trying to portray to him. As a lover of dogs and a trainer for over 24 years, I find him fascinating to work with because he keeps you honest. Although this is not confirmed, Cooper shows reactivity in and around his crate that strongly indicates that he was abused as a young dog. Cooper also has some serious resource guarding issues with food and high value treats. We are thinking that these two issues are somehow connected and related to the abuse. Working with a professional trainer for the last 7 months, he has made strides in improving both his crate and food reactivity. Coop has the potential to become a great companion for THE RIGHT ADOPTER. He will need the proper structure to thrive. I could see him being: -A fantastic hunting dog– his nose is amazing and he loves to use it! -A great companion to any dog behaviorist, or trainer in training, looking to fine-tune their skills on a truly dog-brained dog. -A great physical fitness buddy for someone who is active and outdoorsy Coop, outside of his predictable crate and food issues, is a near perfect working dog or companion. He will pretty much do anything for food. He certainly is an opportunist and is so food driven–he knows if you’re not paying attention, and he will be eating every crumb and surfing every counter he can find. He learns quickly and will execute his new skills with style. Despite the resource guarding of his food, he will take any treat happily out of your hands without even a hint of aggression. Coop LOVES other dogs. He loves to play and plays hard. He is submissive to strong, confident energy and has been around hundreds of dogs over the last 7 months and has had no trouble with any of them during play. He’s a big fan of hikes and walks, and is sweet as pie outside of his issues with his crate and food. Once Coop establishes trust, he dulls down on his reactivity, but by no means would I ever say it will completely be overcome. This is a dog that has likely endured some serious hands-on abuse and needs a confident, strong, calm, and understanding owner to help him continue to succeed on his journey to improved behavior. After these months of extensive rehabilitation, structure, and training, I can now put him in his crate, hand him his meals, tell him to leave it and have him go back to it without issue. He trusts me and understands I’m not here to hurt him or take his food, but it took a lot of hard work. As such, we are looking for an adopter who understands his needs. Cooper absolutely should not have a novice owner who hasn’t had experience working with reactive dogs. He needs an owner who likes to establish structure and who will set him up for success in his problem areas. He needs a STRONG, calm and confident owner to help him thrive. He needs somebody who will create hard boundaries for him. If Cooper sounds like he might be a good fit for you, you will need to meet with him multiple times and learn what it will take to set him up for success. He is a gem of a dog that can make the best companion to the right owner; you will learn and grow so much together. If you do not fit this adoptive description, please do not apply for Coop. This is a delicate situation that could lead to Coop losing his life if anyone tries to take him on without being TRULY qualified. Please inquire if you are interested in applying (serious inquiries only)
