Story
Meet Booties! He can be quite the little shadow and just wants to jump into laps. He gets so excited to see his staff buddies and practically jumps right into their arms. He will cuddle for a little bit, but will also snooze on his little bed on his own. In playgroups with other dog friends, he can be confident and social. He would do best in a home with teens or older, as he needs understanding and pateince in his newly adopted home. If you'd like to visit Booties, ask about him at Division Street today!

Story
Adoption Area: East Tennessee Riblet needs: -Professional belly rubber -Patient owner who will give me time to warm up to you -Children over 12 -Calm and quiet home -If there is a cat in the home, needs to be a dog-savvy cat as he may chase Hi, I'm Riblet!! I am an adorable 3 yr old, 11 lb male Chihuahua mix and I somehow became homeless. Luckily, Small Breed Rescue was able to bring me in and I'm hanging out in a foster home waiting for my forever place. My foster mom tells me I'm pretty perfect but new owners will need to be patient and give me time to get comfortable. I think 3-6 hours should be enough! Within a week you will see my full, happy, goofy self! I love to play fetch by myself or with you and snuggle on the sofa during down time. Foster mom is teaching me all sorts of things about being a good boy. Things like not marking my spot in the house and sleeping in a crate. We also are working on more fun things like tricks. I'm a smart guy so I'd love someone to teach me more! Oh, did I tell you I love going on car rides?! I do! Foster mom takes me to the hardware store and we even have gone to the mountains. I hang out in my crate and keep quiet when she drives too fast! I also just learned that I think hiking is pretty cool! Foster Mom says she is super impressed with me! If there are other dogs in the home, I am probably not going to play or be their best friend. I am rather indifferent to dogs as I am more focused on my person. Now for those not so perfect things about me.... I can be a little wary of strangers and sudden movements so my new parents will have to work on my confidence. Because of this it would be best if there were no small children in the home. I LOVE to chase cats!!! This might be okay if you have a dog-savvy cat who will bop me on the nose but it's definitely not okay if your cat doesn't like pup-arazzi up in his space! I can embrace my Chihuahua side and bark along with the rest of them if something needs to be barked about! I might not be a good fit if you live in an apartment. The vet says I have a slippy hock on my rear leg. Sometimes you will see me hold my leg up when I walk. There is not a fix for this but it really doesn't bother me — just the way I was born. I’m neutered, microchipped, also up to date on my vaccines, flea and heartworm preventions. My adoption fee is $175. Don’t forget I’m looking for a professional belly rubber. If you think this could be you please contact my friends at SBRET.com and I could become your new best friend.

Story
Bree is being fostered in NJ. Her name is Bree but you could also call her Little Miss Perfect! Bree, Bree The cutest dog who cannot see Soft and furry is her coat When on your lap, you will surely dote She dreams of her own forever family For your love and loyalty she does plea Yes, Bree loves poetry! She also loves snuggles, treats, sniffing around the yard, and squeaky toys. Bree was an only dog for most of her life. Then she arrived at our crazy home and had to adjust to sharing everything with the other dogs. She is now a well-mannered, affectionate, friendly little gal. Bree adjusted to her foster home with no problem and immediately found her way around. She makes a cute low grumbling sound when she needs to go outside or wants the water bowl filled up. Just don't bother her when she is eating - she is very serious about meal time! Bree has the playfulness of a puppy - if you bring Bree into your family, have plenty of squeaky toys on hand. She loves to destroy them to get the squeaker out! Bree is also happy to sit on your lap or next to you as you relax. She enjoys "watching" TV and is a big Phillies fan. Her favorite player is Brandon Marsh - Bree likes his long beard. She is also an excellent car rider. Bree knows to "sit" when receiving a treat. And she does expect a treat when she comes back inside from going potty. Bree mostly sleeps in her own dog bed at night, but will sometimes want to sleep in the bed next to someone. As with any blind dog, Bree can be startled by a sudden noise or touch. She would do best with older children (over age 6). She needs to be introduced slowly to other dogs. Bree prefers a private dining experience. Even though Bree is a senior dog, she has plenty of playful years ahead of her and will be a joy to any family who adopts her. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.
