Story
Radar is being fostered in PA. He has some vision, possibly shadows. Radar is the sweetest snugglebug with an intrinsically calm demeanor. He loves to be with his humans at home and is always up for meeting new people and dogs in the neighborhood. He LOVES going on walks and being outside. He gets very excited when he finds out a walk is happening and jumps up and down! Playing with toys is a favorite activity, second only to laying on the couch with his humans, getting headrubs. He sleeps in bed with his foster family but is also very content being in his bed. Radar can see some shadows and light but is mostly blind. He has no trouble getting around or navigating stairs. Radar is a gentle and loving soul. He would make a joyful addition to any home. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Freya is a border collie mix that we adopted a few years ago. She has been fantastic with our small children, but she does not get along with other dogs. We are living with my in-laws at the moment and she keeps attacking their dog, forcing us into the hard decision to find her a new home. She is very sweet, very smart, very energetic, and very cuddly. She knows how to sit, lie down, wait, and she does not beg. She excited tinkles every time she meets someone new, but she will willingly let you put a diaper on her if necessary.

Story
Cotton is a very special and loving boy, who was born deaf. According to a DNA test, he is a double merle, most likely responsible for his deafness and unique blue eyes. He and his foster mom have been working with a professional trainer to learn alternative means of communication, such as the use of hand signals. Cotton is a quick learner and wants to please his human(s). He is about 2 ½ years old and weighs about 25 pounds. He is housetrained but might have an occasional accident. He gets along well with a cat and other small animals in his foster home. Cotton is a cute and playful boy. While he loves playing with his human(s), he also entertains himself playing independently with a variety of toys. He has a soft, somewhat fluffy coat and loves to be snuggled and petted. While Cotton would make a wonderful addition to any home, he needs a family committed to learning how he communicates with humans, providing him with consistency. The professional trainer working with Cotton and his foster mom offers transitional services to assist with acclimation to new homes for a minimal cost.

Walter in Oliver Springs, EAST Tennessee Meet Walter! He is available for adoption and is currently being fostered in East Tennessee. Walter is a 9 month old Aussie who is full of love and energy! He is neutered, potty trained, fully vaccinated and current on preventatives. He loves to snuggle with you and get pets but also always ready to play and run. He gets along with other dogs and absolutely loves his 2 foster siblings. However, Walter can be PICKY with who he chooses to befriend. Walter will require a meet n' greet with any current dogs in the applicants home or dogs that he will spend a lot of time with. Walter is also cat friendly but being a puppy does still get excited when they make noise or run. Walter is also WONDERFUL with aussie savvy kiddos! He is looking for a home with a family that will give him lots of love, lots of exercise. He does know a few commands but is still in the puppy stage so will also need more training. If you feel Walter is a fit for your family please fill out the application so we can connect you with his foster mom & dad. *Walter will require a meet n' greet. Closer to home is ideal. Here is the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.

Look no further. Patches is a 10 month old Aussie Mix. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old. He was born in May 2024. We adopted him from a foster. He has been through the pet smart puppy training, neutered and micro chipped. Up to date on all shots. He is crate trained and sleeps comfortably in his home at night. Also does great in crate when family is at work. He is partly house trained and gets along well with our senior pit bull. We are rehoming him because he is not a good fit for a family with small children. He is true to his herding nature and has anxiety in an environment with small, loud children running around. Patches would love an owner that takes him on walks and can continue to play with him in a fenced backyard.
