Lavender arrived at NCCR on 4/5/25, transferred from an overcrowded shelter that had run out of space for her. She is an approximately 5-year-old spayed female mixed breed weighing around 45 lbs. Her breed mix is unknown, but probably includes Shepherd and Retriever, although that is only a guess. Lavender is reportedly good with most other dogs, and very friendly with people, too. In fact, she was a favorite with the staff & volunteers in her previous shelter and she’s quickly becoming a favorite at NCCR too!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Lavender is kindly sponsored by W Susan Dempsey, the Chessarios in loving memory of Josh; Barb, Kevin and McSwiggan Kantz and Kris Struba, in memory of Hugo-a guest at NCCR for 1 ½ years, beloved companion for 11 years. Thank you!
