Meet Mocha, a very sweet 7-8 year old girl, who came to CGRR last spring. She had been used for breeding, although we were told she only had a couple of litters. Her life was not the best as she was kept pretty isolated, and definitely not part of the family. She was fostered for a while, by Jerry and Lorene, who showed this girl what a real home was like. She did get adopted and was with a wonderful family we knew. We thought this would be her furrever home, but because Mocha had been kept isolated, she was not prepared for a busy family life, and unfortunately, she was not comfortable around the toddler.

Read MoreBlue is a beautiful, dark red 5-year-old boy, looking for his furrever home. He is a big guy, who weighs 80 pounds, and he is solid!
This boy has a quiet but powerful personality. You can cuddle with him and he will melt your heart, but then when you're done, he gets overly playful and has some bad habits that can overwhelm a novice dog owner. Because of this we are looking for a home that will love his personality but give him the structure that is needed.
Read MoreIt has been a bit of a stressful month at CGRR. Our special needs boy Shiloh had a seizure last month and another seizure the first week of August. This seizure lasted just over three minutes and was quite violent. We took Shiloh to the ER and while the doctor was examining him, he had another seizure, so they kept him overnight. They started him on a pretty hefty dose of Keppra and phenobarbital. After meeting with the neurologist, the next week, it was decided to do another MRI on to see if there were any significant changes in his brain. They also did a CSF tap.
