Story
Bmo is a very loving 2 year old dog. He loves playing fetch in the yard and the house. Bmo recently learned how to play "find" where he sniffs out one of his toys in the house and brings it back to be hidden again. Bmo is a high energy dog and requires someone who can give him the time and attention he needs. Bmo needs someone who has a strong "alpha" personality, as he has protective and fear based reactivity. Bmo also has a suspected poultry allergy and has only been able to eat salmon based food, Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Sensitive Skin and Stomach salmon and rice formula or the walmart brand of salmon and sweet potato (but that one is not large breed so its only fed when his normal food is out of stock). Bmo will thrive in a quiet home with limited cars coming and going, and a house without young children (13 and up will be fine as long as they understand dogs boundaries!)

Story
Sushi is being fostered in CT. Sushi loves to cuddle and would love to have her own person and family; however she would do best as an only dog so she can get all the love to herself. She travels great in the car and will either sit on your lap for a short trip or in the backseat with a doggy car seat. She is housetrained and will go to the door to let you know she has to go potty. She eats like a champ and takes her insulin well. She also does great at the vet and loves her vet clinic friends. She sleeps through the night and is very easy going. Sushi is not interested in toys but loves to chew on vet approved bones. She loves to sleep on the couch with a comfy blanket, and she uses dog steps to get on. She can safely jump down as long as the floor is not slippery. I have a dog stroller for Sushi and she happily will sit in it and go for a ride or sleep in it when I am sitting at the computer. She enjoys going for short walks and gets excited when you put her leash on! She also does a very funny trot out in the backyard.

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.

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
Wilma is being fostered in NJ. Hello from Wilma in NJ! Wilma just wants to be with a person and has aspirations of being a lap dog. She enjoys walking, but is not a runner, is attracted to other dogs and ignores the cat and rabbit she lives with, so the house stays peaceful. Wilma rides well in the car regardless of where we are traveling to, and waits patiently in the car during grocery trips. Napping is a favorite pastime. And anytime treats are involved she is definitely interested. Altogether Wilma is a wonderful companion. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
