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.

Story

AJ speaking, ready for my closeup. My name means “unconquered” and I like to think it fits me in a gentle sort of way. I’m a 10 year old, 6 lb little Shorkie (Shih Tzu/Yorkie blend) with a big heart, happiest when I’m trotting beside my people, soaking up attention or curling into a warm spot for a nap. I don’t need much to feel content; just a soft bed, a comfy outfit and someone who enjoys my enthusiastic wiggle when I say hello. Favorite things: AJ is most content when he’s close to his people, whether he’s curled up in the people bed, resting in his own bed or quietly wandering the house. Walks are his greatest joy and he perks up the moment he hears the word. While toys don’t interest him much, he loves wearing clothes, enjoys a warm bath and greets friends with his signature fullbody wiggle. Training and manners: AJ has a naturally polite, steady way about him. He walks beautifully on a leash, settles easily and moves through the home with mellow confidence. He’s clever and observant, adjusting smoothly to new routines. He can be left alone for several hours and has full access to the house during that time. Health and care: AJ is microchipped, neutered and up to date on all shots. He takes standard monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventatives and needs grooming every couple of months. With only a few teeth remaining he prefers soft food that’s gentle on his mouth. His vision is slowly fading but he adapts with resilience and curiosity. Other animals: AJ has experience with dogs of all sizes and gets along well with them. He hasn’t been tested with cats, though his foster believes he would likely coexist peacefully. Children: This little guy is comfortable with children of all ages and enjoys their company when interactions are kind and gentle. Ideal home: AJ would be happy in an apartment, condo or townhome, especially one with few or no stairs to help him feel secure. He’s independent enough to relax when left alone for a bit, yet social enough to appreciate a home where he gets plenty of companionship. A family that enjoys leisurely walks, cozy evenings and a pup who looks adorable in little outfits would be a wonderful match. Overall: AJ is an affectionate, bright, adaptable sweetheart who asks for very little and gives so much in return. Anyone seeking a softsouled, easygoing friend will find something truly special in him. Are you the one for sweet AJ? Then visit our website at www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with the foster family for more information if it’s a potential match. His adoption donation is $525. ##2655115##
