Story
Adonis and Titan are being fostered in Ohio. They are great with people, but probably best with older children due to their size. They are not good with small dogs or cats. Adonis and Titan are bonded, happy, enthusiastic, athletic, and affectionate 60-pound boxer/bulldog mixes who find joy in being around each other and people – ANY people! They were found starving, weak, and wandering in rural Kentucky, when they took shelter from a rainstorm in the home of a kind woman who opened her door. Adonis is suspected to be around 9-10 years old, blind, and the father of Titan. Titan, closer to 3 years old, was helping his dad survive as best he could and stayed loyally by his side. They found themselves at a county shelter where they quickly became staff favorites and were doted on by staff and volunteers alike. But the shelter was crowded and despite their best efforts, nobody came for the dynamic duo, so BDRA stepped up. Nobody is sure where this bonded father/son pair came from, and it’s hard to guess their story. They seem to be familiar with both the bad and good life. Both have mouths full of broken teeth. In fact, a few teeth just fell out of their mouths in their first days at their foster home. Their doctor thinks they broke their teeth chewing on chains or a metal cage, desperately trying to escape. They have matching scars on their legs where bones protrude, as if they were stuck laying in one position for long periods of time. They are also hand-shy around their heads. They were neglected, abandoned, and mistreated in the past. But they were also beloved house dogs once. They were already house trained, crate trained, and leash trained when they were picked up as strays. They take treats gently and think they are lap dogs. Adonis does a perfect “sit” (Titan is working on it) and Titan has a 100% return rate when playing fetch. They both come when called. They are both quick learners and food motivated. They love EVERY human they meet — and they want to meet every human they see! (People can be intimidated by their looks; they are big, athletic, and strong.) They absolutely LOVE kids, but forget how big they are, so small ones are not recommended. Adonis and Titan are sweet, loving, cuddly, and funny boys. They are big squishy babies who love to cuddle. They absolutely live for “Netflix and cuddle” time. They love to snuggle up on the couch with humans for a movie or TV marathon. Their foster parents always squish their faces because it's impossible not to. They soak up every bit of attention they can get. They live for cuddles, pets, attention, and treats. Adonis gets around very well despite his vision impairment. He occasionally runs into things and often stares at things that aren’t there, but he can go up and down stairs very well and navigates the house. He occasionally runs into things or isn’t sure where the steps start, but he can always find a treat, a cozy bed, or a person. (Or he’ll play Marco Polo and bark to get a response to find the person!) His sense of hearing and smell are perfect. Adonis has decided he is an inside dog and thinks the good life is in the house. Titan LOVES toys and playing fetch. He resource guards his toys because he’s convinced Adonis wants his toys (he usually doesn’t) and will pick a fight, so he has to be supervised with toys. He is very loving and listens to correction very well. He seems to have a strong prey drive, so no cats, bunnies, birds, or other small animals! They have a medium amount of energy. They can be couch potatoes, but they also like to run around and play in the backyard and take walks. But if it’s raining or extra cold, they don’t want anything to do with being outside any longer than necessary, and they are perfectly content to just be lazy all day. Titan has more energy than Adonis, being a younger guy, and will make up his own games in the back yard with his favorite green ball. Adonis prefers to sit on the deck or be inside — wherever the humans are! They love each other very much and get very worried when they are separated. They often sleep in the same (very large) dog bed together. They are very bonded. They have some resource guarding from having to survive on their own, so they must be fed separately and supervised with toys. But they have gotten much better as they have learned resources are unlimited. They are NOT good with cats or small dogs. Since they are SO enthusiastic about showing people their love, they are probably best for bigger kids. (They will knock the little ones down because they have no idea how big they are.) Adonis and Titan have seen hard times, but they don’t hold any grudges. These two are ready to find someone with bully-breed experience who appreciates the bully personality and quirks, and is ready to welcome the sometimes slobbery, but always enthusiastic zest for life that these two are offering! BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Izzy is a 2 year old, fun loving boxer, she is a cuddly ball of joy. Like most boxers she has a loud personality, and does not enjoy being ignored. Izzy likes playing outdoors, especially in the snow. She is kennel trained, loves her blankets and toys. Unfortunately she does not get along with my other dog and I have to split them up for safety reasons. She has all her shots, is spayed, and will be someone's best friend forever!

Story
Hope is being fostered in LA. Hope is a sweet and happy girl. She does have some vision loss. Hope had her annual last week and she did good. We went to a new vet in our new town and she was a big hit there. Hope is always very friendly to everyone she meets. Hope loves to ride and does pretty good on a leash with a halter on. Hope can still be picky about other female dogs so we are very careful when introducing her to new ones. Hope could be someone's couch potato or someone adventure buddy. Hope is very strong and muscular. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

High-energy and intelligent. Housebroken and keeps a clean crate at night. Plays with both small and large dogs. Fine around cats. Has been receiving socialization but will need to continue his training. He is food-focused, which helps with training. He will need physical and mental stimulation. An experienced owner of high energy is recommended but not required. Being he is very smart and generally eager to please, he does best responding to positive reinforcement. He tends to have a strong will, so consistent, and varied training to stay engaged is suggested. He should become a medium-sized dog with a strong, muscular build. His coat is low-maintenance. He is much heavier than he looks, as his body weight is dense.

Story
Spayed, vaccinated, chipped and ready to go to her forever home Brita is a strong, muscular build girl with a short, beautiful brindle coat. She is the size of a lab. Low maintenance coat requiring minimal grooming. She is affectionate and playful but very shy with people she doesn't know. She is very intelligent and athletic. Crate trained, house broken and just started basic training. She will require consistent controlled socialization and ongoing training to ensure she develops into well-adjusted adult. Will make great family companions. While she is actually placid in nature when you first meet her, she becomes a wiggle butt once she trusts. . She will need positive, fair training. She does NOT show to have a high prey drive but may get too excited with kittens or small puppies at first but gentle on the excitement of the first meeting is over. Some dogs can be an emotional support dog BUT this girl is the opposite in nature. She needs her own emotional support person to help to know she is loved and help guide her. A calm home with kindness both confidence would be best. She needs to know she is secure. She needs individual attention to help her grow emotionally in new situations. Her emotional support human should be one that is confident, calm and understands basic canine body language. She would do best with a patient person that can offer a secure and structured family environment, She can walk on a leash but not totally comfortable with the idea. A home with a small fenced in yard would be preferred. She prefers to be INSIDE with her human, and loves cuddles. Although she LOVES water, good luck getting her to go outside in the rain. LOL She loves other dogs; big or small. Would be fine as the only dog but can benefit from a mature dog that can help teach her the ways and rules of the home. She has a moderate energy level, and may come on like a wrecking ball when she first meets another dog, so low introductions would be best. She will receive started food, new leash, new collar, transition food, post adoption support and medical records. All adoptions come with a 14 day trial period. If you are looking for a loving, devoted dog that would jump in front of a train for you, this is your girl. Once, she gives her heart to you, she would do anything for you. Very Loyal. Her love doesn't come fast but it will last.
