Story
Welcome Skipper to CCPAL Rescue. Skipper is a 90-pound Ridgeback/Dane mix is our best guess. He is a mush to the people he knows and his breed is very loyal. He was adopted out as a tiny puppy and a year and a half later he was found on the streets skinny and with hair loss. He is now back at the rescue and he is doing great. He is friendly to all of us and very happy to see his friends. He didn’t jump up but he does pull on leash. I don’t think he got to do much leash work. He has an adorable widow’s peak. He would be great for a family who has a traveling father or someone not home. You could feel safe that Skipper would keep the family safe. He looks intimidating and has a big bark but very very gentle and goofy to those he loves. He has a low coat and not a big shedding dog. We would like someone who has worked with an extra-large breed or a Ridgeback. He will do good with a strong owner that is willing to work with him to give him direction and training. He is one of our favorites and we think he may be related to JJ who is also available at CCPAL. Skipper has been checked over by the vet and is in good health. He has been given a Bravecto and is growing hair and putting on weight here at the rescue. He would be a great partner for a jogger and due to his large size could definitely keep up with even a faster stride. He can go with children. We like them to be 8 or older. He is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally. We can also work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Story
Rooster is a sweet gentle soul that wants to make friends with everyone he meets. He’s a smart boy that is very well behaved. He currently lives with kids, other dogs, cats, rabbits and sheep that he socializes with well. But he is a bit fearful of the horses. He’d thrive in a loving home that would spend plenty of time with him and take him for walks and let him explore.

Story
Meet Buddy – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Match! Buddy is a senior Ridgeback/Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of love and a personality that shines once he feels safe. He may be shy at first and take some time to decompress, but once he’s comfortable, his sweet and gentle nature comes through. Buddy absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys their company. He is both house-trained and crate-trained—in fact, his crate is his happy place! When left alone, he prefers the security of his kennel, and even when his humans are home, he often chooses to relax there with the door open. This lovable senior does well on a leash and would thrive in a quiet, low-energy home with a patient adopter who understands that he needs time to adjust. While he hasn't been around young children, his gentle nature suggests he would be great with them. We don’t know how he is with cats, but he gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Buddy’s favorite toys are anything soft and squishy, and he enjoys the simple comforts of companionship. He would be the perfect match for someone looking for a loving, loyal companion who doesn’t need a high-energy lifestyle. With patience and understanding, Buddy has so much love and potential to share. Are you the kind soul ready to give Buddy the forever home he deserves?

I'm already house trained! We can get right to the fun stuff...right away!! And....I'm learning some basic commands. I haven't had too much learning yet in my life, but I'm picking up new things very quickly. I already walk really well on or off the leash and know how to 'sit' and I am eager to learn so much more! I also love riding in the truck here at the rescue and will load right up to go see the sights!! I'm a very gentle soul that does pawsome with people both tall and small and I'm also great with the other doggies! I would make a great playmate to either a 2 or 4 legged 'sibling' or a terrific sidekick as your one and only! I haven't had the pleasure meeting any of those strange creatures y'all call a cat yet.

Story
Great dog just need a new home. He would really benefit from a single owner who can take him for long walks. Very loving but he has a habit of chasing our kids and knocking them over and this has been an issue so a house without young children would be better. He is not an aggressive or mean dog just has the natural instinct to want to run and catch things that are running. He really needs a person who will walk him daily and take him down trails and hikes.

These pups are in Middletown, Connecticut too!

Story
Meet Livi, she’s an amazing young dog who will steal your heart. Livi was adopted when she was just a pup, she’s been very loved by her prior owner unfortunately due to circumstances beyond his control he was no longer able to care for her. We promised we would find her a home as amazing as she is. Livi is just about perfect. Let’s talk about Livi, she’s a cuddler but is also content with sitting on the couch or her bed by herself. She loves to play with her toys and will constantly come and drop something on your lap for her to play. We play gentle tug of war with rope and chew toys, and she loves her squeaky dinosaur. Outside she’ll chase a lacross or field hockey ball and return it to you. They’re the most durable ball I could find that she won’t completely destroy. I also have a football and a soccer ball that she’ll chase down and return to you as well. We’ve worked very hard to distinguish between her toys and what’s not appropriate for her to play with. A simple “Leave It” command will get her to drop anything from her mouth. That can be a toy, ball, baby rabbit (it was not harmed at all and was able to run off!!), or a bone. She responds to the command “Livi Come” when I need her to either come back in the house or come back to me if there’s something I don’t want her to chase after. She also responds to “Stay” if I don’t want her to give chase after something. We’ve had deer, turkey, geese, and everything other woodland creature in our yard. If I say Stay, she’ll just huff and watch them. She is house protective, meaning she’s a barker when anyone is in the driveway or entering the house. She’s really good around other dogs and just wants to play!! She has a ton of energy and rarely has an off button. She plays very active, but not aggressively, and she tones it down for smaller dogs and puppies. She’s good around cats, wants to play, but most cats don’t want to play with her. Livi is housebroken, crate and leash trained, loves everyone and every animal she meets. Livi will be an amazing addition to your home Livi is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Please fill out an application at www.northboundrescue.com
