1. French Toast
French Toast came to us from Manhatten ACC after being brought in with a painful and horrible ulcer in her eye and ear infections. She was seen by our vet right away and put on medications for both her eye and ear and is doing much, much better and we are pretty hopeful she can keep her eye! We were so worried she would lose it and it’s now looking just so much better.

2. Deanna
Deanna is a cute little pittie/lab mix (we think) who was brought to the shelter with a mild rectal prolapse. When we have helped so many recently – what’s one more – so welcome Deanna! Currently in an upstate NY foster home, she is about 6 1/2 - 7 weeks old and happy, sweet and spunky. She is already proving to be a smarty pants and doing great with potty training, and will learn additional puppy basics as she settles in.

3. Cosmo
Brindle boy Cosmo is ready for his forever family!
At just over 3 months old and a solid 25ishlbs, he’s that perfect mix of goofy and sweet. He definitely has that funny, bouncy puppy energy—he loves wrestling and playtime—but his favorite thing to do is crash right on top of you for a long nap.
He’s doing great with his puppy basics in his Upstate NY foster home, working on potty training, crate time, and leash manners. Cosmo is going to make an awesome, loyal sidekick for a very lucky family.

4. Cherry Garcia
It honestly blows our minds that Cherry is still waiting for a family to call his own.
From the day he left the shelter, he has been pure joy, big laughs, and total goofball energy. He was a little rough around the edges in the beginning, but the second he realized he was safe, his sweet, spunky personality took over. Right now, he’s thriving in a wonderful foster home in VT, proving every day just how incredible a rescue dog can be when given a chance.
His cherry eye corrective surgery was a huge success—he has healed up beautifully, looks fantastic, and is completely ready to move on to his forever couch.

Age: 3 years young

5. Pebbles
Pebbles is the cutest, sweetest, gentle little girl. Smaller and cuter than she appears in photos. She is only 3 years old, under 40 lbs, and has not had a great life. Bred several times (probably not on purpose) and not well cared for, this happy, silly girl is a love, once she comes out of her shell (takes a day or so). A touch timid with new people, but then super playful, affectionate, and a bit goofy, once she knows you. She should have a fenced yard (or experienced people), since she is a touch skittish in new situations, and on leash. Good with dogs and cats. Pebbles truly is a happy, silly girl, who just wants to be with her person/people. A must meet, for again, so much cuter and smaller in person and she will steal your heart, for sure.

6. Molly
Molly is the cutest little thing. Just a sweet, mini-cattle dog. She is only about 1.5 years old and 22 lbs of an adorable and playful little herder. Molly is super friendly and social and good with dogs, and cats (but with cats, she needs correction from time to time). She is truly such a good little girl and so easy to work with and train, and such a happy, bouncy, fun, companion dog, although a touch timid at times, with some new people. BUT, she is a cattle dog and needs folks who understand what this means, so she can get the home she will thrive in. Way smaller than she apears in the photos and SO adorable! Knowing this type of breed is a must, for her to get what she needs, and so folks understand what a little dog like this is all about.

7. Ralphie
Ralphie is a goofy, silly, playful, affectionate pup. He is only about 1 year old and about 43 lbs. He is smart and easy to work with, but a fenced yard and continued training would make him even better than he is now. He is affectionate and loves to play with other dogs. could be trained around cats, but would need an experienced person to guide him. Ralph is good in any situation and truly just a wonderfull, hypoallergenic buddy. A must meet, for this boy is so much cuter than the photos show. Great active (not hyper) companion. Guessing at his breeds, but this is what he looks like to us.

Suki is a magnificent and wonderful long haired GSD. She is athletic, but not hyper, and very smart. Eager to please. Suki is only about 1 year old and 48 lbs of beautiful. She is good with dogs and we can cat test. Shepard experience is important, so she can continue to train, and become the best dog she is meant to be. A fenced yard is important.

9. Hank
Hank is the best boy! He was found wondering the streets, either left behind, or lost, but no one showed up at the shelter to claim him. He is so friendly and affectionate and gentle. We believe him to be only about 3 years old and a lean, 70 lbs at this time. He could use a good grooming, but all in all, is jsut an incredible family dog, for folks who like the bigger breeds. Hank is good with everyone he meets and with dogs - we can cat test. SO handsome in person. A must meet, for this great dog will steal your heart, for sure.

10. Harry
Harry is the cutest guy, and super sweet and silly. His owner got sick, so he ended up at the shelter. His coat was a mess and his hair was almost glued over his eyes, but he is a lot better now and on his way to a beautiful coat (will take several more months of good nutrition). He has clearly been fed junk and not cared for very well for a long time. He has a little vision and hearling loss, but gets around fine and will follow us everywhere. He is a diamond in the rough, for sure. Harry is 7 to 9 years old and 17 lbs of affection. Harry is so gentle and loves being in the yard or going for a walk, and would do best if not alone all day without his humans. He does not shed and loves being with his person/people. Not an ounce of agression, but we prefer no very young kids who are not super experienced with smaller dogs. He is good in most any situation and good with dogs, and cats. A must meet, for this adorable little hypoallergenic boy is just the best. So much cuter than these photos. Sweater photos show him with his face groomed up a bit. Harry will steal your heart, for sure.

He is 7 to 8 years old (so not quite a senior), and 45 lbs of love. A must meet, for this handsome guy will steal your heart for sure.

12. Timothy
Timothy is the best, especially considering the terrible situation he came out of. Left in a filthy trailer with over 20 other dogs, this poor guy did not have a great start. Yet he is so friendly and social and affectionate. He walks as if he is high stepping, and could use some weight, but other than that, he is playful and a real velcro sweetheart. This great little guy is about 7 or 8 years old, and about 20 lbs. Just a wonderful little companion for anyone! A must meet, for he is so cute in person.

(We all know how emails can be at times!) Our dogs are spayed or neutered (if old enough), up to date on vaccines, wormed, heartworm tested, and free of fleas and ticks. We temperament test our dogs and they are all suitable for many family situations. Our dogs are well mannered, know some basic commands, and are usually housebroken within a week of being with us (if old enough). They are in our family/home situation at this time (not in kennels or crates, although most are crate trained) and are worked with daily. All of our dogs do well with other dogs and many do well with cats. Adoption donations vary with age, breed, vetting, and training of the dog, and range from $250 to $695 (most being $595). (We do not tend to place puppies or small dogs with kids under 6 and reserve the right to match who WE feel would be the best homes for our dogs.)

15. Diesel
Meet Diesel!
This handsome 4-year-old, 65-pound Boxer is ready for a fresh start!
After not receiving the care he needed and frequently wandering out of his yard, a kind neighbor helped convince his owner to surrender him to rescue.
Diesel is now being treated for ear infections, a UTI, and a skin infection. He's on the mend, but still sensitive about his ears and mouth after being uncomfortable for so long.
Despite everything, Diesel is a friendly boy who loves people and gets along with other dogs.
He'll be available for adoption starting November 7th and is ready to find a family who will give him the love and care he deserves!

16. Maximus
79lbs OF BOXER ENERGY, COMING RIGHT UP!
Meet Maximus! He’s 1.5 years old, full of bouncy Boxer energy, obsessed with squeaky stuffies, and convinced he’s a lap dog. ❤️
The problem? Shelter life is overstimulating, and Max needs more exercise, enrichment, and structure than the shelter can consistently provide. Give this boy a chance to burn off some energy, and even that enthusiastic leash-grabbing can improve!
Max is dog social, people social, neutered, and up to date on vet care. He’s having a hard time in the shelter, and we’d love to see him decompress and do his zoomies in a home.

Max needs a foster or forever home! An experienced Boxer home that understands adolescent energy and can give him the exercise, consistency, and outlets he needs could make all the difference.
MAX is in Maine and needs a FOSTER OR ADOPTER URGENTLY!

17. Bailee
BAILEE HERE! REPORTING LIVE FROM MY FREEDOM RIDE!
Okay, friends… I’m not sure where we’re going, but I’m LOVING this freedom ride thing! The wind, the adventure, speeding toward my new life… 10/10.
I’m a 3-year-old brindle Boxer girl, and I’m told I’m a pretty special passenger. I’m sweet, petite, happy, and ready to find my very own family!
A little about me:
I’ve lived with kids and other dogs.
I’ve seen cats, and so far, not too interested.
I’m a picky eater so I'm pretty trim
And my FAVORITE thing in the whole wide world? MY FOSTER MAMA.
Read more about Bailee
I follow that woman EVERYWHERE. She moves, I move. She sits, I’m right there. If she ever figures out how to shower without me supervising, I’ll be shocked.
I guess you could say I’m a little Velcro girl!
I’ll be ready for adoption NEXT WEEK, and I’m hoping my freedom ride is just the beginning of a lifetime of adventures with my forever family.
Could you be my copilot for life?

18. Cincy
Meet Colombia, now known as Cosette.
Cosette is about 1–2 years old, healthy and spayed, and she’s slowly gaining weight, confidence, and trust. She absolutely loves other dogs, and her canine friends have been so important in teaching her what it means to simply be a dog.
She’s still timid and unsure of new surroundings, and we don’t have any history with little kids. But she is a total sweetheart who is making progress every day.
For Cosette, a fenced yard is a must right now. She isn’t comfortable walking on a leash or navigating unfamiliar places yet, so having a safe space where she can take things at her own pace will be important.
Read more about Cincy
She has already come SO far. Now she just needs someone willing to give her the time and patience to discover how good life can be.
9 Cincy dogs have found their people. Can we find Cosette hers?

*********
THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH. NOW IT’S THEIR TURN TO LEARN THAT LIFE CAN BE GOOD. ❤️
Please welcome Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil & Columbia.
These four beautiful girls were among the dogs rescued from a condemned property where they lived covered in fleas, feces and urine, with little to no socialization.
Right now, they’re still in the shelter—and they’re struggling. The noise, unfamiliar surroundings and sheer overwhelm have made it difficult for them to understand that people are here to help.
But their story isn’t over. ❤️
This week, they’ll leave the shelter. We’re hoping that with quiet spaces, patience, gentle care and time, we’ll begin to see these scared girls discover their brave.
We can’t wait to meet the dogs hiding underneath all that fear.
Welcome, girls. Your good life is coming. ❤️

19. Axel
Is Axel a hunk or what?!?
Axel is a 10 month old male American Bulldog (we love all the bully breeds here at CHBR) coming to rescue because his dad is getting married and the soon to be wife has 2 dogs who are not nice to him. He’s been working on his “give paw” skill and we think he’s finally getting it, lol!
He has been well cared for and is a smart, wonderful boy!
He knows sit, down, and paw, loves to swim, and enjoys both people and other dogs. This handsome guy is truly a 10/10!

20. Molly
Please welcome Molly to CH Boxer Rescue!
At just 2 years old, Molly has officially decided she knows exactly what she wants out of life—and sharing her castle with other female dogs is NOT on the list.
Molly is looking for a free-of-other-female-dogs kingdom where she can be the one and only canine queen. And honestly? She’s pretty fabulous, so we think she deserves it!
Kids? YES! Molly has lived happily with three children—ages 6, 9 & 12—and her 6-year-old bestie has her wrapped around his little finger.
Bunnies? Must chase.
️ Squirrels? Must chase.
Birds? Must chase.
Leaves? Apparently also suspicious and worthy of pursuit.
Read more about Molly
Molly has a prey drive and loves keeping herself entertained, so she’ll do best with a family who understands that her hobbies include wildlife patrol and neighborhood security. She is strong on the leash.
She’s young, fun, affectionate and ready to be the queen of your castle—with no other 4-leggeds trying to steal her throne. ❤️
Welcome to CHBR, Molly! Your perfect kingdom is out there.

Adopting a dog in Starrucca
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
