Story

Kenny is being fostered in VA.Kenny is NOT BLIND!Kenny arrived at rescue in June 2026 like a little spark — small, scruffy, and full of hope. Today, hes a joyful, wiggly, toy chewing, rope tugging, people loving pup who lights up his foster home.This 13 pound, one year old shih tzu (maybe with a dash of mystery mix) was found as a stray in Ohio. After the shelter suspected concerns about his vision, he traveled to Virginia to join the Blind Dog Rescue — and surprised everyone by seeing just fine! What he really needed was comfort, care, and a fresh start.Kenny settled in quickly with the resident dogs and is learning the art of polite play. Hes housetrained, crate trained, and sleeps quietly through the night. He trots beautifully on leash unless a squirrel dares to appear, in which case Kenny becomes a tiny, determined explorer. Hes a great car buddy, too.His favorite foods? Purina One with gravy for breakfast and dinner and then, for snacks, he enjoys peanut butter, tiny dog treats, and, his favorite: chicken jerky! Hes a shy eater at mealtime who waits for his humans to step away before he begins.Kenny has been thoroughly vetted: ear infections treated, Giardia resolved, skin improving (still a bit flaky), bloodwork and vision normal, teeth lovely. The vet staff adored him.His front legs are a bit bow-legged and he has congenital hip dysplasia with a left cruciate injury but, after a Librela injection, hes moving much more comfortably and with better stamina. During the first couple of weeks in his foster home, he sometimes favored his left leg but he has not been noted to do that anymore even before the first Librela injection he began to use both hind legs symmetrically. Hell need monthly Librela and an adopter willing to partner with their vet to address any mobility issues if they arise in the future. He can manage a few steps but should be carried on full staircases. And, when carried, his foster mother said he feels like a squishy teddy bear. And usually she gets a kiss from Kenny when he is in her arms.Kennys one big nope: cats. He becomes intensely focused on the foster homes cat and wants to chase, so he must be adopted into a cat free home. He hasnt lived with children and so should join adults or families with older kids.Kenny is still a puppy — bright, sweet, and ready to learn. He needs a home with structure, patience, and lots of love. If youre looking for a joyful little companion with a huge heart, Kenny is waiting for you.BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story

Carmella is an energetic sweetheart, but as she has aged she has become less patience with our 4 small children. She nips at them when she is afraid or believes they are reaching toward her. We believe she has cataracts but it is hard to know for sure and we are unwilling to put forth the costs for medical treatments! We are hoping someone will come along and take care of her!

Story

Rocco is an approx 10 year old Shih Tzu boy looking for his furever family! This handsome boy Rocco is a quiet, gentle soul who loves nothing more than a soft bed and a peaceful nap - he will happily snooze the day away. He is incredibly well-mannered, making him the perfect calm company. He loves long walks and car rides too. He prefers all four paws on the ground when interacting. He can be a bit sensitive when being picked up, so he needs a patient owner who goes at his pace. He is dog friendly and living with other dogs in his foster home, but would do best in a home without small children. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped and had a dental. If you're looking for a quiet, sweet, low-key buddy who will be your loyal shadow, he is your guy.He doesn't ask for much - just a warm bed, a quiet home, and someone to love him. https://peytonsplaceanimalrescue.org/adoption-application/ ##2818953##
