Story
Imara is a beautiful 1-year-old Shih Tzu with a striking black and grey coat and the cutest, most expressive little face. She’s a very happy, snuggly girl who loves being close to her people and enjoys “talking” when she gets excited to see you.  Imara loves other dogs and does well with cats. She is best suited for a home with older children who can respect her space. She’s affectionate, social, and would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can be spoiled and adored. Imara was found as a stray in very rough condition, suffering from severe chemical burns on her back, a heavy flea infestation, and significant matting with hair loss. She has healed beautifully and while she does have a scar down her back from the burns, it is barely noticeable with her hair grown out. She was born with an underdeveloped eye which does not slow her down at all or require extra care.

Story
Meet Kelsey — a 1-year-old Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix with a scruffy little face, long skinny legs, and a heart full of love. She’s truly “all legs,” giving her the cutest, most unique look. Kelsey is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to cuddle and be close to her person. She lights up when she sees you and can be a little talker when she’s excited — not loud at all, but with the most adorable, quiet howl that makes everyone smile. It’s just one more thing that adds to her charm. She gets along beautifully with other dogs, cats, and children, making her an easy addition. Kelsey is crate trained, rides wonderfully in the car, and is exceptionally well behaved for baths and nail trims. Her gentle, loving nature and easy manners make her a joy to have around. If you’re looking for a unique, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Kelsey may be the perfect match for 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.
