Canine Adoption and Rescue League (CARL) - a 501 (c) (3) non-profit dog rescue and NO KILL since 1996 We operate almost entirely by volunteers.

Canine Adoption and Rescue League is an IRS 501(c)(3) Private Non-Profit No-Kill Organization. We rely on donations and do not receive government, state, or city funding. Since 1996, Canine Adoption and Rescue League has rescued and placed thousands of unwanted, sick, abandoned, and homeless dogs. Dogs in our adoption program are placed in pre-screened, loving and secure homes. We make a lifetime commitment to all of our dogs. Canine Adoption and Rescue League receives hundreds of calls from people who must find a home for a stray, a litter of puppies or even a family pet.

November is National Senior Pet Month and National Adopt a Senior Pet Month. For our dogs, this typically means those who are ages 7 years-plus.

Willow is one of the “Super Seniors” housed at our rescue. She’s a lovely, nearly 8-year-old Doberman Pinscher mix with a kind disposition whose hobbies consist of playing fetch and tug of war. While she is a fantastic walking buddy, she also does well on car rides and going out in the community to restaurants and to stores.

Other positives about this black and tan beauty:

🐾 She is a gentle treat taker

🐾 She is loyal

🐾 She prefers to be near people all the time

🐾 She knows how to “shake,” “sit,” and “stay”

Willow would love to be in a home for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday watching you carve the turkey and making pumpkin pie.

Say hello to Peaches. 👋

We took her in from challenging living conditions, yet Peaches still dreams of finding love and happiness. She is a four-year-old Chihuahua mix and a member of the “Extraordinary 8” group.

Although first shy when she meets people, Peaches is quite an affectionate and playful girl once she gets to know you. She is a true lap dog, and she thrives when in the company of other pups, especially those on the petite side.

Looking for a steady, well-behaved companion? Inquire about this little charmer by going to the “Adoptable Dogs” section on our website. 🐾🐾

🎃 Rounding out our pups for CARLween is none other than R***r! One of his favorite foods (and treat ingredients) is chicken, so he decided to be that for his costume! If you get him excited enough before a walk, you can probably get him to dance a bit for you too!

This handsome boy is definitely no scaredy pup when it comes to adventures and kids. Always up for a car ride, hike, snuggle session, or sunbathing, R***r is definitely at the ready to try new things.

Foster or adopt your very own R***r chicken 🐔

👑 Was it even a question as to what Zeus was going to be for CARLween this year? Only the king of the Gods would be fitting for this king of the kennel. Zeus can’t wait to be sitting on his own throne in a foster or forever home. He, and all of our dogs, deserve the royal treatment! While staff and volunteers love spoiling him, we would be thrilled to see the mighty Zeus leave our kennel and join his new family.

🎃 Sonora wanted to do her best Toto impression for CARLween this year! She is a big fan of the Wizard of Oz and truly believes “there’s no place like home”.

We are sure she’d be willing to don some ruby red slippers and sit politely in a hand basket if it meant her finding a foster or forever home 🐾

🦇Bat wings were only fitting for handsome Marmaduke! This Great Dane is boarding with us but available through another rescue (DM us if interested!). Marmaduke and his long limbs are perfect as a bat because he basically flies through our arena when running at full speed! With devilishly good looks and a happy go lucky demeanor, we think this guy would be an amazing addition to any home!

Adventure-seeking, adoptable Otis, aka Otie, has resided at our rescue for more than 1,300 days, and we’re shocked that nobody has scooped him up yet!

Hiking and beach walks are two of his interests, but his favorite thing in the world is playing fetch with a tennis ball. He can do that for hours. He also does well in doggy play group with the female dogs and jumps into the “kiddie pool” during the warmer months. 💦🌞

Otis would love to find a foster or forever home for Thanksgiving. Get to know more about him by clicking on the “Adoptable Dogs” section on our website.
