Story
I adopted Sammy from a local shelter when I was in college, and she’s been my best girl ever since. She’s about 9 years old now — gentle, affectionate, a little sassy, and endlessly curious. She loves snuggling, basking in sunny spots, and happily cleaning up any dinner scraps you’re willing to share. In her older age, Sammy has developed some food aggression and tension with other animals. After several serious fights with my other dog and increasing aggression around my baby during mealtimes, I’ve made the heartbreaking decision to find her a new home. She has never bitten a human, but she needs a calm environment without other pets or children to feel safe and relaxed. Sammy would thrive in a quiet home where she can be someone’s one-and-only — spoiled with love, soft places to nap, and plenty of companionship. She’s truly a sweet, loyal, and special dog who deserves a peaceful place to enjoy her golden years.

Story
My grandmother was feeding her and we believe her mother for a while until we found that the mother was pregnant and so she took them in. My grandmother can only keep the mom to take care of her but the puppy needs a home. I’ve called rescues and shelter but everything is either full or won’t take her in. She’s a good girl and I would love to keep her but I have two dogs already and live in a studio. She has so much energy, tells me when she needs to use the bathroom, and love to snuggle.

Story
Lady is being fostered in TX. HI! I am delighted that you are interested in knowing more about me! I am about 3 months old*. My absolute passions are EAT, MOVE and Cuddle! In fact, among my many super pawers is my super sense of smell, so I became highly excited when smelling delicious foods around me! My foster mamma and I are working hard to learn how to harness this super power! My second super power is my high level of energy and my strong curiosity, I guess that makes three super powers, isn’ it? If you don’t give me a job to do, I will find it on my own! So it is very important for me that you become my guiding light. Yet, I also want you to be soft and cuddle with me in quiet times, since I actively look for bonding, reassurance, and safety. I am good with kiddos, but I will prefer kiddos 6+ since I - for now - get excited and might scratch them by accident. Also, I highly benefit from tolerant and playful siblings who can help me balance when the puppyhood zoomies come! Did I tell you that I am already potty trained? YUP!!! I am proudly potty trained. Regarding my eyes, I have Microphthalmia which “is a congenital condition where one or both eyeballs are abnormally small” on my right eye. My foster momma is seeing a little cloudiness on my left eye*, so I am going to visit an eye specialist in mid August. However, I have not presented any issue navigating the house, jumping the stairs, or avoiding any obstacles in the backyard. I am sure my foster momma will update any relevant info after our appointment. Are you ready to love me? * By the time of this writing on July 2nd.

Story
Marty is being fostered in PA. Little Marty is a sweet, easy-going little mini poodle guy who gets along with dogs and cats and people of all ages. His breed is guessed at as a full blooded mini poodle. His estimated age is about 13 but he's a very quick-stepping little man and enjoys exploring his environment, especially outside. He can find his way to the door and he was doing a great job at pottying outside until his foster mom went back to work a couple weeks ago. He will be very easy to get back in the habit of eliminating outside with a forever family who is home more. He's fairly easy to figure out in that, if he's up and exploring, he needs to go out. :) Marty has a very thin coat of fur on his torso but he does not have any visible skin issues and does not itch. His thyroid levels were checked and were fine. We know little about his past life so he may be recuperating from a past issue. Marty is leash trained and does well but because he's a small and older guy, walks won't be very fast. He also rides well in the car. At this time, he seems to enjoy dog bed hopping over being on a lap and he will walk right off the edge of a chair or bed. He needs to be carried up and down stairs and has no awareness of being at the top of stairs. He will remind his foster mom if his breakfast or dinner is overly late. Marty has had a slight cough since arriving in his foster home and following an xray on September 16th, it was discovered that his heart is slightly enlarged and he has a small amount of fluid in the upper portion of his one lung. These are both signs of congestive heart failure, which is fairly common in little old men like Marty. He will probably need to take Benazepril, Lasix and Pimobendan for the rest of his life. These medications run about 50.00 per month. Marty will have a dental on September 26th. He will probably need to have most, if not all, of his teeth extracted but it will be so much better for him to have a healthy mouth again! Marty will make a sweet little companion for some family. He's very excited to be spoiled and doted on for the rest of his days. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Beta is being fostered in NC Such a sweet laid back lady who is a joy to have around! ... enjoys being scratched and loved on, but not too much of a cuddler🤷‍♀️ or at least not with me…. Chewing on bone marrow is a favorite pastime, along with wandering around the yard if it is not hot out😂. She isn’t particularly attached to any specific bed, she kind of likes to bounce from one place to another…sort of like Goldie Locks😉. If she is needing to go out she starts wandering around, so regular bathroom outings are definitely suggested… she is wonderful on a leash, slowly enjoys sniffing everything while perking up at all the sounds around and responding with a few barks that are too adorable. As for eating, she is definitely spoiled, plain dry kibble is not going to do it. So we rotate different foods mixed into her kibble… she is quite fond of chicken broth and rice with frozen mixed veggies though so she gets that several times a week. Shredded boiled chicken and plain yogurt is another favorite… it has been a wonderful experience watching her come out of her shell, and I’m sure she has only begun that personality development… she would make anyone a fabulous companion, excellent with dogs of all sizes and cats are of zero interest to her, she just passes them by or lays with them. I can’t say enough of how much of a joy she is to have around. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Sleepy is being fostered in PA. Updates for Sleepy (1/26/25) House trained: Fine if kept on schedule; continuing to work on it Good with dogs: After proper introduction Good with cats: Unknown (Sleepy is unaware of the cats in his foster home) Good with children: Unknown The cats in Sleepy's foster home just avoid him, but his foster mom believes he would be okay with cats. Sleepy is a very sweet little boy. He soaks up any and all of the attention you will give him. He likes to cuddle when he is worn out because he does have that puppy energy. We give him lots of toys/chews but the thing he loves most is to tumble around with the other dogs. It gives him lots of confidence when he is around the other pups in the house. Sleepy is not house broken yet and we are working on basic commands, but he is very food motivated which helps him learn really quickly. What Sleepy enjoys the most is to sit on the patio with a bone and just listen to everything going on. He is a great companion.
