Story
Holly is a cute, affectionate and active young dog, look at those ears ! She doesn't miss anything. She loves people, but should ideally only live with adults and older children due to her activity level. She is dog selective in a defensive way, she becomes uneasy when an unknown dog approaches. Her new owner(s) would ideally be experienced with bully breed dogs. She is very active and will need an owner(s) who can give her enough exercise to wear her out, like a runner !! She needs a securely fenced yard with a 6 ft privacy fence, as she likes to leap and jump in her play. She is about 4 yrs old and 35 lbs, a great snuggle size; she's also good on a leash. She's been fully vetted, including spay, vaccines and deworming. She's very playful and loves her toys including old buckets, balls, kongs, antlers, beef bones and anything that can be thrown or she can kick around. She's sweet and playful, and will make a great pet for the right person. Please contact us with any questions, and to meet this sweet girl.

Story
Diamond is a beautiful, sweet blue Bully Girl who is a sweetheart, she is around 6 years old and weighs 65 lbs. She has had too many litters in her short life, but now she's on the mend. She’s such a sweet, humble girl. It was hard to get good pics because she just wanted to snuggle. She loves her toys and chew bones. Diamond is quiet and reserved. She would be best as an only pet as she has tons of love to give her family. She’d be a great dog for a solo, retired or family. She fits all bills! Ask for her video. She would thrive in a home with a fenced in yard. She is people focused and is best not having to be leash-walked and can just relax in her kingdom with her people. She is dog reactive a life where she can focus on her people and just give them all the love in the world for years to come. She just needs a quiet home with her people and she will be the Diamond she was meant to be. Ask for her videos! Email blueridgedogrescue@gmail.com with questions or to schedule a meeting.

Story
Nikki is one of the most lovable pitties you'll ever meet. She's roughly 13 years old but still had the energy of a pup. She abandoned at about 2 years and was adopted by me but now my my job responsibilities have pulled me away from home more and more to where I'm not able to give her the proper care that she needs and am trying to find a family environment for her to where she'll get the love and attention that she loves and needs. Nikki loves to be played with and get all the attention from anyone that will give it to her. She's non aggressive towards humans and loves kids! It takes her time to acclimate to other dogs but with time does adjust just doesn't care to be bothered. She's a senior dog and has a deteriorating left eye but that doesn't stop her at all. Nikki loves her bed and will never say no to a comfy place to call her bed. I hate to see her go. She's my companion but I need to do what's best for her and get her the continued love that she needs.

Story
Meet Duncan! This adorable tripod is friendly, loves to play, and enjoys head rubs. Duncan loves long walks as well where he can explore. Despite one missing leg, he really is such a perfect pup. Duncan cannot wait for his forever family to come pick him up! So please, if you find this guy as charming as we do, come meet him today!Duncan came to us as a stray with his front left leg amputated, but we unfortunately do not know why. This however does not slow this big boy down. He is incredibly sweet with every person he has met, even when he was scared of the new environment. Adoption fee paid for and sponsored by a donor. Recently written by his previous adopter: returned after two fights with the resident dog. We are at this time recommending him to be an only dog. "Duncan, AKA Dunky Bear and Funky Dunky, is the sweetest, most loyal, and loving 3-legged wonder you'll ever meet. Duncan truly defies all odds with his personality being so pure, while missing a whole limb! Duncan LOVES attention and cuddles, and despite his size, thinks he's a teeny tiny lap dog! He will lick you to death, so you don't have to worry about bath time anymore (for his humans at least), because someone isn't a fan of bath time for himself! Unfortunately, Duncan can be easily stressed, and has had a couple of incidents with other dogs in the home, so he would be best with being the only pup, or a meet-and-greet because he does seem dog-selective, but who can blame him? He seems to have been through so much in his little life, yet is still such a sweetheart. He would gladly do anything for his human, as he has shown to be very loyal! He is very curious, so redirection is necessary sometimes, but he is easily redirected and is very very smart! He is house-trained, and is very food motivated! He loves his treats, chew toys, and anything else he can play with, even if it's not always a toy! He is a truly one-of-a-kind, and he deserves the world! Please give this wonderful, loving, and full-of-life baby a chance!" Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 62 Age: 5yrs 10mths 1wks

Story
Zella's story is a heartbreaker. She's a loving and gentle girl who has recently lost her family, leaving her feeling lonely and a bit uncertain about the world. Life hasn't been easy for her lately, and you can see it in her sweet, soulful eyes.Zella is currently awaiting a physical exam to check out a few enlarged areas, but her spirit remains pure and kind. She thrives on love and affection, soaking up every gentle touch and kind word. Loud noises can make her anxious, so she's hoping for a quiet, peaceful home where she can finally feel safe again.If you have the patience and love to give Zella the second chance she deserves, she will repay you with unwavering loyalty and endless cuddles. Let's help her find the comfort and care she so deeply craves. Could you be the light in Zella's life?Update on Physical exam,Zella was seen by the vet and they said she has a few fatty tumors, but right now the vet thinks that it is all they are.They stated she will need a dental in the future as well and she will need weekly baths for her skin infection until better.They recommended a complete urinalysis in the near future.

Story
Meet Acorn (aka Dudley) - The Lovable Lap Dog!Searching for a cuddle buddy? Look no further! Dudley is the closest thing you'll get to a shadow. He's always looking for snuggles or love from his people. He's very food excited. Not aggressive, but very eager for food which can sometimes come across as a bit much. He does like chewing on things so highly recommend a home with lots of bones! He's the sweetest, most loving pocket pittie you'll meet. He walks great on a leash and loves taking in the scenery on sunset walks! Unless there's cows! He will thrive in the warmer months but when it's winter time, he'll only go out if he absolutely has to (and even then he may need some coaxing). You can't go wrong with this sweet, handsome, chunky boy. A solid loaf of pure love. He'll make a perfect addition to a family with older kiddos and/or a dog with lower energy. He likes to guard things so he would need a slow introduction with other dogs. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 42 Age: 2yrs 3mths 2wks

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Precious, an 8-year-old Boxer mix, has come a long way since being rescued from a lifetime of neglect. She spent years confined to an outdoor pen, severely malnourished and deprived of basic care. By the time she arrived at DDBBR, veterinarians warned that she might not have survived much longer in her condition. But Precious wasn’t ready to give up—she had so much life left to live. Now thriving in her foster home, Precious has gained much-needed weight and is finally experiencing the simple joys she was once denied. She loves zooming around the backyard, curling up on her foster mom’s bed, and soaking in the warmth of a loving home. Every day, she shows her gratitude with tail wags and affection. Precious has also met other dogs and done well, though she would thrive with a well-socialized canine companion who can help her continue learning dog-to-dog interactions. However, she cannot live with cats or other small animals. This resilient girl is looking for a forever home where she can spend her golden years surrounded by love, comfort, and security. Could you be the one to give her the home she’s always deserved? 🐾
