Story
Shorty is a very active dog who loves to be outside, with his nose to the ground and grunting like a little piglet while he sniffs everything. He thinks he can catch squirrels but doesn't understand how they just disappear! He enjoys spending time with my grandchildren and would fit well in a home with children. He is initially fearful of men, but once they get down to his level and he sniffs them, he is all wiggles. He is skittish around other dogs. He is fully house-trained and if he needs to go between walks, he will come and scratch your leg. He doesn't mind being brushed and has a beautiful curved tail. Overall, he is a sweet dog that requires someone/family that is active and ready to play or walk. At the end of the day, he is content to have a few belly rubs and be near his person(s).

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.
