Story
Odin is a 7-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Great Pyrenees mix with a big heart and even bigger cuddle energy. Calm, loyal, and low-maintenance, he’s happiest lounging on the couch or napping in the sun. He’s fully house-trained and doesn’t need much exercise—just a yard to sniff and a comfy place to snooze. Odin is a natural protector and will always let you know if someone’s nearby. He responds well to a gentle “quiet,” but his watchdog instincts are strong. He can be wary of strangers and loud noises, so a calm, child-free home is best. He’s not a fan of fireworks or surprises but loves routine, head scratches, and belly rubs. While he might snore, he’s all heart - and will be your loyal shadow once he bonds with you. If you’ve got a peaceful home and a spot on the couch, Odin might be the perfect companion.

Story
Wrangler is being fostered in PA. Wrangler has some limited vision. 3/24/2025 Wrangler has been doing much better in the crate when his foster has to go out for a while. His wire crate is next to the xpen of another dog so he is not alone and he loves Himalayan chews, so gets one while in his crate. His house training has gotten much better. He goes to the door when he has to go potty to let you know. His foster is starting to try teaching him to use bells on the door. Will see how that goes. Wrangler is such a sweet boy and so loving. Wrangler is a sweet 4-month-old Husky/Catahoula Leopard Dog mix. His vision isn’t perfect, but he does have some sight. His eyes did not develop properly. But it doesn’t stop him from enjoying life to the fullest. He loves to play with other dogs and loves to cuddle with humans. He would do well in a home with other dogs to play with, and a fenced yard to run around in. Wrangler is a smart puppy and is learning commands quickly. He got a late start at potty training and learning commands but picking things up. He loves toys and nylabones to chew on. He also loves to chew on antlers and anything else hard. Wrangler does not like being left alone in a crate, so he has been sleeping with the other dogs and his foster Mom and doing well. He will sleep through the night with someone in bed. Wrangler will make a wonderful addition to a family and bring lots of laughs and joy and love. He is still growing so has plenty of time to learn so much and become a great dog for a loving family. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
