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...
