Corey's Story

8 years old, 60 pounds Personality: good running partner, snuggler, playful, smart, adaptable, goofy/funny, outgoing, independent, energetic, and affectionate. Meet Corey, a goofy, big-hearted boy whose favorite things are cuddles, belly rubs, and being close to his people. He has a wonderfully balanced personality, affectionate and social without being clingy, and he is perfectly happy relaxing on the couch or in his crate while you get things done. Corey is house trained and can be trusted home alone uncrated, though he also loves his crate. He enjoys walks with plenty of sniffing, can keep a good pace on a run, and settles nicely at home without needing constant exercise. He's incredibly smart - his growing repertoire of words includes "stay," "go to your crate," "bring it," "give kisses," "heel," and "leave it." He also loves puzzles and mental challenges. This funny guy is a charming "talker" who uses his voice and his beloved ball to communicate, sometimes adding a happy little growl of contentment when he gets his prize. He has made great progress with polite leash walking and calmer greetings, and he thrives with a consistent routine and clear boundaries. Corey would shine as an only dog or with an experienced adopter who is enthusiastic about continuing to help him develop his skills and training.

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue's Adoption Policy

All of our dogs and cats are in private foster homes. If you are interested in meeting one, please complete our application. Profiles provide all current information we know about the dogs and cats in our care. OUR ADOPTION PROCESS APPLICATION: Interested adopters should fill out an application for the cat(s) or dog(s) you are interested in. Only one application is required, and it applies for all cats or dogs listed on your application. If you are interested in adopting both a cat and a dog, you must complete an application for each type of animal. Important Note Regarding Timing: We screen all applications to find what we believe will be the best environment for each particular cat or dog. If we believe that we currently have a potential match for you, our typical response time is within a week. Please keep an eye on your spam folder! APPLICATIONS COUNSELOR: Applicants who pass the initial screening will be assigned a volunteer applications counselor to work with you throughout the process. REFERENCE CHECKS: If applicable, CDCK will call the applicant’s veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well cared for. CDCK will also call personal references listed on the application. RENTERS/CONDO OWNERS: For renters, CDCK will check with an applicant's landlord to ensure that cats and/or dogs are permitted and that the cat or dog of interest wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions. We also review condo association rules regarding pets. ADOPTION CONTRACT: If the applicant is approved for adoption and decides to adopt the cat or dog, CDCK and the prospective adopter will enter into an adoption contract. The applicant will be required to pay an adoption fee, which helps cover our costs from spay/neutering (if age appropriate), microchipping, vaccinations, and any other veterinary attention needed while in our care.
