My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sleepy is being fostered in PA.

The cats in Sleepy's foster home just avoid him, but his foster mom believes he would be okay with cats.
Sleepy is a very sweet little boy. He soaks up any and all of the attention you will give him. He likes to cuddle when he is worn out because he does have that puppy energy.
We give him lots of toys/chews but the thing he loves most is to tumble around with the other dogs. It gives him lots of confidence when he is around the other pups in the house.
Sleepy is not house broken yet and we are working on basic commands, but he is very food motivated which helps him learn really quickly.
What Sleepy enjoys the most is to sit on the patio with a bone and just listen to everything going on. He is a great companion.
BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Interested in adopting a BDRA dog? Simply fill out our application.

All of our adult dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventive. All puppies are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm and flea/tick preventive.

We ask a $400 adoption fee. This does not begin to cover the vet work we do on our dogs, which is why we are always fundraising! For unaltered dogs (such as puppies too young to be spayed/neutered prior to adoption), we now require an additional $100 spay/neuter deposit that is refundable upon BDRA receiving proof of spay/neuter and rabies vaccination.

Go meet their pets

Can I meet the dog before I submit an application?
All of our dogs are cared for in private foster homes. We cannot make arrangements for private meet and greets until an application is received and references have been checked. That being said, many of our dogs are at local public events where you can certainly go to meet them.

Will you transport the dog to me? What if I live in Canada?
Generally yes, as long as you do not live more than 18 hours from a dog’s foster home. If you are unsure, please email adoption@blinddogrescue.org.
