Story
Hello I’m Booker! I have a hard time trusting people, so please be patient with me. I’m easygoing and like my own space to relax. I’m not big on cuddles, but I do love treats! I am still working on potty training and using a leash. I don’t mind having other animals in the house, but they need to know I like my personal space. Please let me know if you are looking for a low-maintenance roommate.

Story
Adoption Area: East Tennessee Kai needs: -Fenced yard - or someone to continue with my leash training for potty breaks and exercise -Adult home only, kids would be too scary for me -No cats or the right dog-savvy cat -I might like a young playful Chihuahua mix friend as long as you will give me a bit of time to adjust -I can also be an only dog -Time to get used to the home and patience from my new family -No apartments Hello, my name is Kai, rhymes with sky. I’m approximately 2 years old and a male. I have a beautiful white coat with soft tan makings and soft brown eyes. Everyone thinks I’m a Chihuahua mix with a little bit of Italian Greyhound because I have long elegant legs. I weigh just under 12 pounds. I’ve been in foster care for a little bit and I’ve learned so much! One is that I can get along with dogs that don’t get in my face. If they do, I will growl at them. I’ve learned that I love playing with the young Chihuahua mix here and running to my heart’s content in the fenced yard. If you have another little dog near my size, I’ll need some time to realize that it IS fun to have a playmate. There are cats here in my foster home and when they get near me, I growl at them and I’ve chased them a little. The cats here have lived with foster dogs and usually don’t pay us (fosters) much attention. So I’ve learned that I can co-exist with the right cat(s). I’m good at alerting to noises outside, so I would not be a good neighbor if you live in an apartment or condo. I’m working on a walking on a leash and I do my “duties” (house training) outside. I love my foster mom and love to hang out with her and watch TV. I love my food and look forward to my meals. My ideal home would have room for me in the big bed (but I do sleep as quiet as a mouse in a crate), a fenced yard and a warm and loving lap. I ride great in the car curled up in the seat. I like to go along for the ride to Lowe’s, Home Depot, or other dog-friendly establishments, I want to be your buddy! I’m up to date with my vaccinations, neutered and on heartworm and flea prevention. My adoption fee is $175. If you think I might be the right little guy for you, please fill out an application! I look forward to starting my new life in my forever home. Hugs and doggie kisses, Kai

Story
This little fella needs to find a very special adopter!!  We don't know much about his background, but he came to us because his person had died,, and after the trauma of that event,, he had to deal with strange people and new places and other critters and it was all a bit much for him.... His default position when scared is to growl and snarl! We set him up in a nice quiet spot without anyone threatening on the other side of a partition, and just pretty much let him chill..... One day a week or two into this routine, it was like a light switch had been turned on!  He decided I was an okay person and the growling and snarling was replaced by an enthusiastic little dog spinning and jumping around and wanting to give kisses. He didn't initially want anything to do with the other small dogs, but after a bit he decided they were okay and he likes to go out in the area with them and explore,  he doesn't have much to do with them as far as playing, but there is no aggression.  We've also learned that he has a definite preference for the ladies.... Skipper needs a quiet environment with not a lot of folks coming and going and I would be concerned that kids wouldn't read his signals well enough  not to create a problem..... So we need to find just the right home for him.  He's not snapped or bit anyone here and we want that record to continue..... and it will require time and patience and  consistency to manage that. If you are up for the challenge and feel you have the situation and the commitment to give this little dog that stability he needs to feel safe and loved again.... we'd love to discuss it with you. We have an update on Skipper's health that might discourage some folks from pursuing the adoption idea...... He has a significant heart murmur, and while we are treating that with oral meds, there is a possibility that the condition could progress to heart failure with a very hard to estimate time line.November 20, 2024, 4:12 pm

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.
