Precious - Adopted

Name: Precious
Sex: Female (intact)
Breed: Chihuahua mix?
Age: 4 years
Location: Clover, SC
Vet/Medical Info: Precious has not been to see a vet
Owner Info: Precious was taken in by her current owner for someone that could no longer care for her. She has tried to find a home but been unsuccessful. She needs to find a home for her asap as is only allowed one dog in her home and her landlords have threatened to evict her. She does not want to have to take Precious to the pound. Precious is housetrained but not leash trained. She is a bit nervous and shy but is good with people. She is food possessive. She doesn't like people getting in her face and doesn't like kids until she gets to know them. Precious would be best in a foster home with no children, older children may be okay. Precious is overweight as you will see in photo. She can see shadows and appears to be deaf. We have been told her head is very wobbly. We suspect she may have some form of central blindness.

Pickles - In CARE Foster Home

Name: Pickles
Sex: Male (intact)
Breed: Great Pyrenees Mix
Age: 10 months
Location: Mountain Home, AR

Vet/Medical Info: Pickles has not yet been seen by vet but his past records confirm he has had rabies shot. The vet is pretty sure his blindness is genetic.
Owner Info: Pickles is currently being fostered by a wonderful lady that runs a Great Pyr rescue. His old owner was going to shoot Pickles along with two other Great Pyr, this lady took all three dogs. She is totally unequipped and inexperienced to do right by this sweet, affectionate boy and she feels he needs way more then she can offer him. Pickles is at least 90% blind and although he has not actually been diagnosed, it is strongly suspected that he has Canine Optic Nerve Hypoplasia as his litter brother was diagnosed with this condition by an Opthamologist and it is hereditary. He felt it was possible all littermates could have the same condition. His foster Mom has given Pickles Distemper/Parvo shots (5 way) and he has been given Ivermection for heartworm preventative. He has also been wormed. His foster Mom is willing to get his eyes checked at her local vet, although they have indicated they do not have a lot of experience with eye conditions. She is also happy to have him neutered if he is going to a good foster home or forever home. Since being in his foster home he has bonded with another foster dog and relies on him for direction.

Lady




Please meet little Lady! She is a merle Australian Shepherd who is about five years old. Her owner is elderly, and can no longer take her for walks, and so Lady isn't getting all the exercise an Aussie needs.

Lady's blindness is due to genetics- the result of breeding two merle (spotted coat) Aussies. These are referred to as "double merles". Click here for more information on this very common condition.

Lady has already been spayed, and is heartworm negative. The vet clinic where she was last treated says she's a very sweet girl, and they really hope we can find her a great home.

Lady is currently living in Florida.

Peanut and Starr

Peanut (female) and Starr (male) are both Tibetan Terriers, siblings from the same litter. They were born mostly blind, and may possibly have hydrocephalus.

These sweet two pound pups are located in Vermont. Despite their conditions, they are quite strong and are nursing well. Since they are only four weeks old (as of October 30th), they cannot be moved for another four weeks.

Please consider giving these two a chance at a rich life.


Peanut (female)
Starr (male)
 

Update: We received some sad news today. Little Peanut and her brother Chance (who may also have the same condition) are being put to sleep today. Their conditions worsened quickly and they were suffering a great deal. Starr may still be coming to BDRA however. 

Rest in peace Peanut and Chance...

Please meet sweet senior Chihuahua mix, Henry. He's elderly, and we're not sure of his exact age. He only weighs about 8 lbs, is mostly deaf and also has cataracts.

This elderly gentleman needs a second chance!

Roscoe

Meet Roscoe!

He is a one year old orange and white pointer. His story is very sad- Roscoe's owner, who was once very active and loved taking Roscoe for runs, cannot look after him anymore since she's had a tragic accident at work. The accident has taken away a great deal of her mobility, and she has made the difficult decision to find Roscoe a new home. Roscoe is very active, and would like a home with someone who likes taking him for lots of exercise!


Let's try to help Roscoe find a foster or permanent home. He's a sweet boy, about 48 lbs, has one eye only, is UTD with all his vaccines, and is neutered.
