My personality

My story

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

Cilantro is a happy girl that is both blind and deaf, and not yet housebroken. She is fostered in Illinios.

Meet Cilantro! Cilantro is an easygoing little girl; a gentle soul looking for love. Cilantro is a senior, both blind and deaf. Sadly, she was found wandering around on her own, but those days are over! She loves to sleep the day and night away. And who doesn't love a good cuddle?! Cilantro loves a good cuddle and kisses but will let you know when she isn't in the mood to be picked up by moving her legs a lot. She loves to burrow herself under a soft, fuzzy blanket. I call this her version of hide and seek. She tends to grunt and bark at times out of frustration and to let you know when she is hungry for food/snack or thirsty. And she makes the cutest sounds! This little one is special due to little grunts (sounds like a human) and how she has to work up her bark. Cilantro is ready for her forever home!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

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.
