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
Meet Fluff — Big Personality, Small Package Fluff is a Shih Tzu mix who is very clearly a big dog trapped in a little dog’s body — and he knows it. Found as a stray roaming the streets, we’re pretty sure that little adventure went straight to his head. We tried giving him a softer name to chill him out… It didn’t work. Fluff is still very much Mr. Personality. Fluff is best described as a Sour Patch Kid — sweet, a little spicy, and full of character. He’s a good boy at heart, but like many small dogs with big confidence, he can be possessive over his belongings at times. Because of that, an adult-only home is a must for him. The good news? Fluff has been working closely with our trainer and has made great progress learning better coping skills and boundaries. He’s done the work, he’s grown, and we truly believe he’s ready for his forever home. What to know about Fluff: • Shih Tzu mix • Big personality in a little body • Sweet, confident, and entertaining • Has shown possessiveness in the past but has made strong improvements • Adult-only home required • Training support already in place Fluff is looking for a home that appreciates his bold personality, continues his structure, and understands that sometimes the best dogs come with a little extra spice. If you’re looking for a small dog with confidence, character, and a whole lot of charm — Fluff just might be your guy. Apply to adopt Fluff today: www.roversdoover.com/adopt Life’s never boring with a dog like Fluff — and honestly, that’s part of the magic. ##2547287##
