My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Fontina is being fostered in PA.

Tina is a sweetheart! Her absolute favorite activity is cuddling next to her humans! She burrows under a blanket every chance she gets. When Tina came to BDRA, she had a little extra weight on her. She is now down a whole dress size! She went from a medium harness to a small one. She is completely blind but navigates well around the house. She goes up and down the stairs without any help. She sleeps in bed with her people and uses the doggie steps to get up and down. When she isn't snuggling on the couch, she likes to chew on her bones. Tina likes to be outside and take walks. She loves snacks and can hear a bag open from a mile away!

Tina loves people and especially loves when they rub her belly and give her butt scratches! She is good around other dogs but isn't very interested in them. She lived with other dogs in her previous foster home. When they bumped into her, she would get mad and grumble, but that's all. One time, she stepped on her little foster brother and he went after her so she just grumbled and held him down with her paw. Tina is a silly pup who loves to be with her people. She is a lovebug who is just waiting for her perfect forever family!
BDRA voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Can I meet the dog before I submit an application?
All of our dogs are cared for in private foster homes. We cannot make arrangements for private meet and greets until an application is received and references have been checked. That being said, many of our dogs are at local public events where you can certainly go to meet them.

Will you transport the dog to me? What if I live in Canada?
Generally yes, as long as you do not live more than 18 hours from a dog’s foster home. If you are unsure, please email adoption@blinddogrescue.org
