All donations are tax deductible.
 
The dogs need you. Your donation goes to the direct cost of medical, gerneral, and rehabilitative care.
 
The average stay for a dog in most shelters is under three weeks.

The average CRR dog is with us three to six months.

Please donate to Central Rescue and Rehab online with your credit card or you can print out our donation form and send in a check or money order.

Many dogs have stayed with us for many months, we have had a few that took over a year to place and Spirit was with Wendy for two years before finding his forever home. 

 

Spirit has since passed on to the "Rainbow Bridge" due to cancer. He will forever be with Wendy and all those whose paths he crossed.  

 

 
Rehabilitative care comes in many forms; many dogs are turned into shelters between the ages of eight months and two years of age due to lack of training and socialization.
 

Socialization at an early age is critical. Many dogs come to CRR big and bouncy and out of control, many come to us hiding in the corner and fearful.

 

These dogs don’t “show well” to a potential adopter. Many shelters won’t take the out of control or the fearful dogs.

 

CRR gives them a chance.

Expanded medical is typical because many dogs test positive for lyme disease, erlichea. and anaplasmosis, the is antibiotics.

Ear infections are another very common health issue we see.

Grooming is very important for dogs especially those with long hair. Mats pull on the skin and are painful, cleaning a dop up helps them feel good about themselves.

 

The average person would pay over three hundred dollars for these services, our adoption fee is just $150 for adults and $200 for puppies.

Many dogs like Keena and Beanie are rescued initially by CRR and transported to other great groups that are willing to help when we are full and can't keep them. In many cases CRR pays for the medical care and transport of these dogs.

Darla had pneumonia.

A heartfelt thank you to Darla and Nico's foster's, (human and canine, for giving of themselves and their resources selflessly. I don't know that we would have been able to save them without these wonderful spirits.

Spirit exuberantly loving Wendy

Spirit was with Wendy for two years, he was fearful, had heartworm, erlichea and he had been running wild for over a year before he came to her. Special thanks to Dr. Northrup for coming to the kennel to treat Spirit.

Orphan Baby

Bottle fed babies are very expensive to care for. Occasionally we get a litter that was abandoned or for some reason their mom couldn't care for them.

A heartfelt thank you to Darla and Nico's foster's, (human and canine) for giving of themselves and their resources selflessly. I don't know that we would have been able to save them without these wonderful humans.

Tony, socialization and training.

A medal of honor goes out to Tony's foster mom for her patience and time with this exuberant boy. Sometimes it takes a village....

Rocket

We take in litters of pups, usually bully breeds, because we worry where they'll end up if we don't. These puppies take a huge amount of time, patience and resources before they are rehomed.

Otis had exceptionally high exercise needs and a short attention span. Off and on Otis was with us over a year.

Annie

Senior dogs like Annie can take many months to adopt out, they have their quirks and we need to find loving quirky people to give them the forever home they deserve.
