Why we still list buddies that have been adopted.
When we have special needs dogs that stay in long term foster care, there is no question that these dogs are loved as much as any other dog.  Many times the foster home will adopt the dog and sometimes they can't.  When we highlight the dogs that require a little extra care we want to show the public how wonderful they are even with their disabilites and the extra care that they might require.  Very often someone will see this dog, read their story and become passionate about that particular animal and decide that they would like to have that dog in their life.  Special needs dogs very often are some of the most loyal and appreciative dogs and those that have adopted special needs dogs before know this, and very often wish to have another. 

CCDR is so pleased when someone adopts the special needs dogs that they wish to share this experience with the public.  It also encourages others to look into their hearts and consider adopting a "less than perfect dog."  Many of us in CCDR already have one, two and sometimes three special needs dogs since they are the lost souls who others overlook.  We look at them first because we know these dogs grasp life and look at what they have rather than what they don't have.

We wish to share some of these great dogs with you, the public, and keep you updated on their new lives. --CCDR
