Meet Calliope & Cruise

Cruise & Calliope Cruise – Black Male X, 1 year old, 50 pounds Calliope – Tan and White Female Boxer, 6 months old, 35 pounds Hello Lab Rescue Friends! Yes, we see her too! Would you leave her at the shelter? We didn’t think so! This is a little story about a sweet, sweet Boxer girl who helped a terrified little Labrador boy get through his time at the shelter. Both Calliope and Cruise somehow landed at a rural shelter. Because some of the most dedicated animal saviors volunteer at the shelters, one noticed that Cruise was not fairing well. Cruise would turn his back to the world outside his cage in a ball petrified. This is hard to watch for even the most seasoned shelter staff. They felt horrible for him and decided another young dog might help him, enter Calliope. The staff took every chance they could to put them together and they were right, she was what he needed to get through the stray hold period before they both could become LRRF dogs! We just could not leave Calliope behind! They have been fostered together and still absolutely adore each other. Besides, like the foster says “it’s so nice to have a Baby Boxer in the house after so many Labradors!!” They are an adorable little pair that would love to be adopted together but are also available separately. Calliope is a typical boxer pup with her adorable smooshy little face and sweet character. She loves to play chase and be chased around by Cruise and a few other foster siblings! She also frequently finds the older resident dogs to curl up with for naps. Cruise is your very typical lab! He’s much smaller than what we’re used to seeing but this dufus is a fun guy! They’re both shy and will take a minute to warm up, but both have come a long way in a short time. Neither is great on a leash yet, but both are fully house-trained. They have not been around kids or cats but we don’t anticipate either being a problem.
