Story

Tiny, Tilted, and Totally Perfect Tinker is a 15-year-old, 15-pound sweetheart with a built-in head tilt that makes her look like she’s always politely listening—even though she’s deaf. She may not hear your voice, but she absolutely feels the love, and she’s all about gentle pets, cozy naps, and being your loyal little sidekick. This lovely senior gal does great with other dogs and cats and would thrive in a peaceful home where she can enjoy her golden years in comfort. If you’ve ever wanted a tiny companion who will happily accept all your affection and give you unconditional love in return, Tinker is your girl. Warning: prolonged exposure to Tinker may result in spontaneous “aww” noises. March 7, 2026, 9:03 am

Story

Coco is an energetic, expressive, and sassy dog who loves to go on walks. She loves to sit up on the couch and sunbath outside. She is highly intelligent and needs as much mental stimulation as physical stimulation. She would do best in a fenced yard to play in. She loves having her hair brushed and is used to grooming. She has recently gotten her rabies and DA2PPV vaccines for this year and is well behaved at the vet/clinic.

Story

Crimson is being fostered in VA. Crimson is blind and has kidney disease. Crimson Update – April 1, 2026: Crimson has settled into his foster home, making friends with his foster parents and the four other blind dogs who live in the home. He now knows all about evening sofatime with his foster mom and the other pups, and, after a belly and head rub, takes a nap. He is doing a great job learning to go up and down the two steps from the deck into the yard and then back into the house again. And, with the warmer weather, he likes to take a quick roll in the grass when he goes out to do his business. Crimson does have dry eye now, so is on daily Optimmune (eye ointment). He does a very good job at medication time. For more information about this sweet boy, read what his foster home wrote about him in February 2026. See below. Crimson is a friendly little guy who loves belly rubs! If you would like to know more about this special pup, read on! Crimson is from Florida. His family could no longer care for him and so they turned him over to the Blind Dog Rescue Alliance. He traveled to his Virginia BDRA foster home in January 2026 and made friends all along the way. Crimson has settled into his foster home quite well! There are four other blind dogs in the home and Crimson gets along just fine with each of them. He is happy to share a bed and doesn’t mind if a dog bumps into him. He ignores the family cat. At night, he settles easily into his bed and sleeps through the night. He is housetrained – not a single accident yet! He has a deep bark and, when he first arrived, he barked fairly often but now that he is learning the routine, he barks only occasionally (usually when anticipating a meal!). As mentioned, he loves belly rubs and he enjoys head rubs too. He also likes toys. Crimson is blind, diagnosed with SARDS several years ago. SARDS (Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome) is a condition that causes rapid and irreversible blindness due to changes within the retina. In addition, he arrived at his foster home with ear infections that are in the process of being treated. He hears well though and he doesn’t let his blindness bother him at all. His eyes are currently healthy although he does have some clear discharge at times. Crimson also has been diagnosed with kidney disease/kidney failure along with high blood pressure. He is on a prescription kidney diet (Purina) and also on Benazepril twice a day. We don’t know all the details about Crimson’s medical history before he arrived at his foster home and – as is true with any rescue dog – we can’t predict what the future holds for his health. Anyone interested in adopting Crimson should first speak with their vet about canine kidney disease so there is an understanding of this disease, its progression, and how it is treated. Crimson has not spent time with children and, although he is such a nice dog, he should be adopted into a home with older children or adults only. And he should always be supervised when he is with young children, as all dogs should be. If you think you can provide this sweet, gentle dog the wonderful forever home he deserves, complete an application today! BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story

✨Meet Ashton!✨ Ashton came to us after his owner passed away, along with his beloved sister Mia Grace. Ashton is a Shitzu mix who is ready to find his true forever home! Ashton is a sweet, friendly boy who readily looks for love from new people he meets! He is easy to handle, even when he needed his painful matted fur removed upon arrival. He loves people, and especially loves his sister Mia Grace who he will need to be adopted with. All dogs require an adjustment period after adoption to decompress and acclimate to their new home, routine, housemates, and environment. Patience, consistency, and guidance are required to help them successfully transition and become a part of their new family! If you are interested in being considered for them please apply on our website at www.angelsretreat.org 💕🐾 Angel’s Retreat www.angelsretreat.org West Chester, PA PA Kennel License 17335

DOB: 02/11/2016Weight: 15.1 lbsSex/Breed: Neutered male Shih TzuRescued From: ACCT PhillySticker has been through more than most dogs ever should. Rescued from ACCT Philly after being found as a stray in heartbreaking condition, this sweet senior has spent months healing and learning what love feels like. Now, he’s finally ready to find a forever family to spend his golden years with.Sticker is a low-key, easygoing boy who’s happiest napping in his crate, rolling around outside in the soft grass, or enjoying a spoonful of peanut butter (his favorite treat!). He’s housebroken, crate trained, and gets along well with other dogs and even cats.His vision is limited due to glaucoma and cataracts, and he has some arthritis, but Sticker doesn’t let that stop him from enjoying life’s simple pleasures. What he needs most now is someone willing to love him exactly as he is — a gentle soul deserving of comfort, patience, and a soft place to land forever.All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.Interested in adopting?
