Story
Gracie is a sweet dog who enjoys the outdoors, car rides and being a lap dog. While she is good with some children she has little patience for toddlers. She also will try to sneak out the door whenever it's opened which is a problem with the busy road and large aggressive dogs nearby. She would be best homed with a nice yard to run around in and with a family able to offer plenty of lap time

Story
Adoption Area: East Tennessee Annie needs: An active home -Children over 8 years old -Someone home part of the day to continue potty training -Someone committed to giving her a Phenobarbital twice daily to keep seizures controlled -ONLY TOPICAL FLEA/TICK PREVENTION, no oral preventives because of seizure history -No apartments/condos -Fenced yard -No cats Hi! My name is Annie! I am an active, smart 3 year old 10.8 lb female Chihuahua (possible MinPin) mix. I was surrendered by my owner for possible seizures. Turns out, I was having seizures, but the fine folks at SBRET know how simple that is to fix. Their vets put me on Phenobarbital twice a day and my seizures are now controlled. Phenobarbital is super affordable too. I take my medicine in a pill pocket with no problem at all. My new people need to be committed to giving me my medicine twice a day to keep me happy and healthy. See, easy peasy! I’ll be honest, I was pottying in the house when I first came to my foster home, but I am a very smart girl and my foster people have taught me that pottying in the house isn’t something dogs should do. My potty training is going very well as long I go out regularly. There may be some backsliding when I first get to my furever home, so I will need someone home part of the day to keep my potty training on track. I walk well on a leash too. I ride well in the car. I sleep in a crate at night in my foster parents’ bedroom but I imagine I would love to be snuggled in the big bed with my people too. I do not like being in a crate when my foster people leave the house though. It upsets me and I cry. My foster people have discovered I do better out of the crate and I even stopped having accidents while they are out! I love to run at top speed in the fenced yard and get my zoomies out. I like playing with all the toys in my foster house and even play fetch with them. I am very food motivated and could probably learn all sorts of cool tricks and good behaviors with someone with the time to teach me. I get along fine with the other dogs and cat in my house most of the time, but I will guard food. I love to snuggle next to my people on the sofa too, but I lap guard my humans from the other pets and my foster people are working on that with me as well. I respond very well to verbal corrections as well as praise. I absolutely LOVE my Mister Man (foster dad)! I follow him everywhere. He is the apple of my eye. My foster mom is cool too, but when my Mister Man gets home, I am beside myself with joy and am very vocal about it. I am a vocal little lady, I will talk back to you when you talk to me and I will sing along with you if you sing to me. I’m fun! No cats please. I am spayed, microchipped and up to date on my flea and heartworm preventatives. By the way, I cannot take oral flea/tick prevention due to my seizure history, I have to use the topical varieties. I am also up to date on my Rabies, Distemper/Parvo and Bordetella. My adoption fee is $175. I am a super smart, high energy little lady looking for her active furever people. Is it you who I’m waiting for?!!!

Story
Bree is being fostered in NJ. Her name is Bree but you could also call her Little Miss Perfect! Bree, Bree The cutest dog who cannot see Soft and furry is her coat When on your lap, you will surely dote She dreams of her own forever family For your love and loyalty she does plea Yes, Bree loves poetry! She also loves snuggles, treats, sniffing around the yard, and squeaky toys. Bree was an only dog for most of her life. Then she arrived at our crazy home and had to adjust to sharing everything with the other dogs. She is now a well-mannered, affectionate, friendly little gal. Bree adjusted to her foster home with no problem and immediately found her way around. She makes a cute low grumbling sound when she needs to go outside or wants the water bowl filled up. Just don't bother her when she is eating - she is very serious about meal time! Bree has the playfulness of a puppy - if you bring Bree into your family, have plenty of squeaky toys on hand. She loves to destroy them to get the squeaker out! Bree is also happy to sit on your lap or next to you as you relax. She enjoys "watching" TV and is a big Phillies fan. Her favorite player is Brandon Marsh - Bree likes his long beard. She is also an excellent car rider. Bree knows to "sit" when receiving a treat. And she does expect a treat when she comes back inside from going potty. Bree mostly sleeps in her own dog bed at night, but will sometimes want to sleep in the bed next to someone. As with any blind dog, Bree can be startled by a sudden noise or touch. She would do best with older children (over age 6). She needs to be introduced slowly to other dogs. Bree prefers a private dining experience. Even though Bree is a senior dog, she has plenty of playful years ahead of her and will be a joy to any family who adopts her. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
