Story

Allow us to introduce Grandpa Leo, a charming 12-year-old Shih Tzu with a heart as big as his personality. Life has given him a few bumps along the way — including the loss of one eye — but don’t let that fool you. This little gentleman still struts around with quiet confidence and plenty of love to give. Leo is a cautious little guy who takes his time getting to know new people and surroundings. Once he trusts you, though, you’ll see the sweetest side of him — the one that melts into his favorite bed for a long nap or enjoys gentle pets along his back. He’s happiest when life moves at a calm, steady pace with plenty of comfy blankets and cozy corners. True to his “grandpa” nickname, Leo likes attention on his terms and won’t hesitate to toddle over when he’s ready for some affection. He’s not a fan of having his face fussed with, but he enjoys soothing rubs and scratches along his body, especially after a quiet stroll or during a peaceful afternoon. Because Leo treasures tranquility, he’d do best in a home without children — somewhere serene where he can snooze, explore at his own pace, and soak up love in a stress-free environment. This wise little Shih Tzu has earned a life of comfort, care, and dignity. If you’re looking for a loyal, mellow companion who will fill your days with soft snuggles, curious glances, and the occasional “grandpa grumble,” Grandpa Leo may just be the perfect match. Adopt Grandpa Leo — give this sweet senior the retirement home he deserves, full of naps, gentle love, and peaceful days. 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 ##2662814##

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

I obtained Bailey from a co-worker back in 2018. She was abused by 2 putts very sad and malnutrition. Bailey has been a great dog. Recently she screams when she is hungry or if she needs to go outside. She needs a home that she can go outside when needed and lots of love. Un her previous home the cat scratched her eyes and at this point in life she’s almost completely blind. Last vet visit dr said she will loose her vision. She lives file minon. Also eats hard food. It’s been very hard to groom her due to my illness. She loves to cuddle.
