Story
Hi, everypawdy! My name is Grace. I'm a beautiful, loving soul who is looking for a family to call my own. Walks, runs, and hikes are a few of my favorite hobbies. Attention and being pet are necessities as well, of course! A good cuddle at the end of a long day will fill me with joy. My foster family says I'm smart as a whip...I already know how to sit, heel, halt, and more! A good treat and some cuddles are enough to motivate to learn like a pro. I love being near my favorite humans, and playing with my favorite toys. If you want a reason to smile every single day, then I am the pup for your family. If you are interested in adopting Grace, please fill out an adoption application at https://bfp.org/rescue/ and email us with questions: adopt@bfp.org. Location: TULSA, OK

Story
Poppy is a stunning, 8.5yr old beagle girl. This lovely senior is a total sweetheart, despite suffering years of abuse in an animal testing laboratory. Poppy is the perfect little companion for any individual or family! Poppy loves to go on walks, spend time around other dogs, and sniff around the yard (in true beagle fashion), but more than anything... Poppy loves to be near her people! She's great with kids, too! Poppy has received an A+ in couch snuggles. Poppy has been learning lots from her two foster siblings and, while she hasn't initiated play with them yet, they have given her a lot of confidence. She would love a home that could provide her with both exercise and lots of laid-back cuddle time together. Poppy is also cat approved! If you are interested in adopting Poppy, please fill out an adoption application at https://bfp.org/rescue/ and email us with questions: adopt@bfp.org. Location: Houston, TX

Story
True to my name, I like to always know whats going on and be a part of the fun. I like to show my friends that I enjoy being the center of attention and will playfully remind them that I am "The Chief ". I love to play and take every chance I get to get my exercise playing chase around the yard with my brothers. I love belly rubs and all the attention I can get. My favorite things are playing with and smelling other nice dogs, running around the yard, and letting everyone know when it's time to get up for the day. I have lots of energy but I also enjoy a good nap so I can rest up to play some more. If you are interested in adopting Chief, please fill out an adoption application at https://bfp.org/rescue/ and email us with questions: adopt@bfp.org. Location: Arkansas
