Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Opie is being fostered in FL.
Little Opie continues to be the cutest old man in the world. He loves staying on schedule with his meals and outside time. When it's a nice sunny day, he can be found relaxing in the grass. When he's indoors, Opie is either sharing the big cozy dog bed with Gracie (6 lbs. poodle) or snuggling in under the blankets in the guest room closet. The funniest thing is when we set him on the couch or the bed, he rolls around on his back until he wears himself out! Opie gets along with the dogs who are close to his size, but he does not like our big dog, Baker. As soon as Baker gets remotely close to Opie, he screeches and it scares everyone. Opie does great at the groomer - he needs a good grooming every month - and he's so handsome after his haircut.
BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Interested in adopting a BDRA dog? Simply fill out our application.
All of our adult dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventive. All puppies are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm and flea/tick preventive.
We ask a $400 adoption fee. This does not begin to cover the vet work we do on our dogs, which is why we are always fundraising! For unaltered dogs (such as puppies too young to be spayed/neutered prior to adoption), we now require an additional $100 spay/neuter deposit that is refundable upon BDRA receiving proof of spay/neuter and rabies vaccination.

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.

More about this rescue
We are a small group of volunteers spread throughout the United States (and even a couple in Canada) who are dedicated to advocating for blind and visually impaired dogs by rescuing dogs in shelters, helping blind dog owners, and educating the public. We formed in 2009, though our members have many years of experience with rescue and blind dogs.
