Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.    *All applicants must have a vet reference and a fenced yard to be considered.* Due to no fault of his own, Toi is in a new foster home. Unfortunately for all concerned, he lost his foster daddy and his foster home due to a house fire. He has managed to worm his way into the hearts of his foster parents. He gets along with all of his foster siblings due to a very slow meet and greet. He is doing extremely well and we are so proud of him. Toi is UTD on all vaccinations at this time. He has a voracious appetite and will not miss being in the kitchen under foot while we are cooking. Toi would love to have a home of his very own where he will get all the attention he deserves. He needs a stable environment with no children in the home. Children tend to move fast and that movement scares Toi. Hello lucky lottery winner!!!  No— not really a lottery, but you will feel like you have hit the jackpot if I choose you to be my forever home.  So let’s talk about me and see if we could be a family.     My name is Toi.  I am a Min Pin/Chihuahua mix who is 12  years old.  Don’t let that age thing bother you,, I am a medium energy dog who loves walks, zoomies in the backyard with my foster sister and brother and car rides.  My favorite word is Treats!!!   I am a little bit choosey about who I do and don’t like. Foster mom says I need some more “socialization:”- whatever that means.  Hey— do you instantly like everyone you meet?  I bet you don’t.  I choose to think of myself as discerning about who I let into my inner circle!!  But just think how special you will feel when I decide that you are deserving of my trust, snuggles and love.  I didn’t get to meet a lot of people when I was growing up and it takes me a while to let my guard down with new humans. I do best when I am on a leash when new two-leggers come into the house. I can be growly, but if they leave me alone, I leave them alone. I listen to Mom when she tells me “Toi, settle down, don’t be growly, you’re fine”.     My foster home has two other dogs in it, so I have a foster brother and sister who are my best friends.  We love to run around the backyard together, wait for our treats, mealtime and jump into the big bed every morning..  My favorite place to sleep at night is on a chair covered in my blankets in the big bedroom. I need lots of blankets so I can burrow down inside of them!!     Children aren’t really my thing, so foster mom says we are looking for a home with adults only.  And my new family needs to be very experienced with dogs who need a little extra attention, time and patience. Do you know the saying, “good things come to those who wait” or  “patience is a virtue”?  Or how about— just love me for who I am, just like I will love you for who you are and together we will grow and become the best we can be.   Am I a lap dog?  No. Am I going to instantly trust you? No. Am I worth the work you will put into building a relationship with me?  You bet!! And on top of that— I am very handsome.  So maybe it’s okay that I play a little “hard to get”!   This is what I need from my new family:   A big fenced in backyard so I can run and run and run.  At least one other dog to be my bestie and to show me how to be a dog. Someone who can understand that while I love to lay right next to my human, I am not one of those silly lap dogs who wants to be held like a baby.   Maybe some day, but not right now.  Someone who loves me unconditionally and will take the time to earn my love and trust.   I do not really like men and so I need a Mom in my new home. I have gotten used to my foster Dad- but really need to have my main forever parent be a woman.   Adults who are experienced with dogs who have fear and socialization issues.   And don’t forget about toys— I need lots of toys!! Toys to carry around, toys to throw up in the air, toys to chase— you can never have too many toys!!  But mostly time, love and patience.    So let’s get those applications rolling in and I can pick out my new home!!!  I’m posting some new pics that foster mom took of me and I know they make me look irresistible!!!       Toi's adoption donation is $250.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 26, 2024, 12:04 am

Story
Copo is a cuddly, early rising, cute attention seeking old man. He is currently looking for a new home due to family complications. Copo likes his quality time with his favorite people and makes a great  personal heater when he snuggles. This old man is very food  motivated, he loves praise, can be strong willed and can be playful at times when he is feeling spunky. Copo knows how to ask for potty breaks with a bell. Due to age and too many pets he can mark occasionally but may not show that  behavior in a calmer household with more attention on himself. Copo has lived with cats and dogs and does well. He can be more specific with dogs, especially males but it depends on the individual personality overall. If you are interested in learning more about Copo please contact us for more information.    ***courtesy post, will be a private adoption***March 17, 2024, 10:41 am

Story
Fontina is being fostered in PA. Tina is a sweetheart! Her absolute favorite activity is cuddling next to her humans! She burrows under a blanket every chance she gets. When Tina came to BDRA, she had a little extra weight on her. She is now down a whole dress size! She went from a medium harness to a small one. She is completely blind but navigates well around the house. She goes up and down the stairs without any help. She sleeps in bed with her people and uses the doggie steps to get up and down. When she isn't snuggling on the couch, she likes to chew on her bones. Tina likes to be outside and take walks. She loves snacks and can hear a bag open from a mile away! Tina loves people and especially loves when they rub her belly and give her butt scratches! She is good around other dogs but isn't very interested in them. She lived with other dogs in her previous foster home. When they bumped into her, she would get mad and grumble, but that's all. One time, she stepped on her little foster brother and he went after her so she just grumbled and held him down with her paw. Tina is a silly pup who loves to be with her people. She is a lovebug who is just waiting for her perfect forever family! BDRA voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
