Story
Meet Jack Frost Don’t let the frosty name fool you — Jack Frost is pure warmth. At 13 years young, this sweet Shih Tzu gentleman has perfected the art of companionship. His favorite place in the whole world? Curled up next to you (or better yet, in your lap), soaking up snuggles and handing out soft little tail wags like they’re gifts. Jack isn’t just a dog — he’s a cozy, living, breathing best friend. He loves the simple things in life: leisurely walks around the neighborhood, sunny nap spots, gentle belly rubs, and being close to his people. Wherever you are, that’s exactly where Jack wants to be. Jack does have dry eyes that require daily drops, but don’t worry — he takes them like an absolute champ. No fuss, no drama, just one more reason he’s such an easy, lovable guy to care for. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys their company, though when it comes to mealtime, he politely prefers his food to himself (and honestly, who can blame a distinguished gentleman for wanting to savor dinner in peace?). Jack Frost may be a senior, but his heart is full of love and his spirit is as sweet as ever. He’s past the puppy chaos and fully committed to the good life: cuddles, companionship, and quiet moments with his favorite human. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow, a professional snuggler, and a gentle soul to warm your days, Jack Frost is ready to melt your heart. Come meet him — he’s saving a spot right next to you. PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $200 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org. ##2650952##

Story
Royal was brought from Petland in 2017! He came with a chip. He is very friendly and gets along well with other animals. He is playful and loves children. He needs rehoming due to allergies of gran and my health issues since retirement! I was recommended by the Animal hospital in pine hills! He has dry eyes and I was told to wipe with water as needed! He is up to date on shots. A loving home for him would be great! Thank you!!

Story
Crimson is being fostered in VA. Crimson is blind and has kidney disease. 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.
