Biscuit - In BDRA Foster Care


Name: Biscuit
Age: Estimated 3 years
Breed: Unknown
Sex: Female (altered)
Location: Nashville/Chattanooga, TN

Update 5/27/16:   Biscuit is at the vet's today being spayed. They are able to keep Biscuit a little bit longer.  I don't believe he has a fenced yard and believe she is being kept outside sleeping on the front porch.  The finder has three outdoor cats so I assume Biscuit is okay with cats but I cannot say how she is with dogs. Biscuit is approximately 50 pounds.

Original Email:  We are a small, very small group of people who volunteer try to help this rural community with pet emergencies, spay/neuter programs, and hold adoption events to try and find loving homes for dogs to keep them out of our extremely high kill shelter. We only have a couple of foster homes for dogs and they are all full and would not be capable of caring for a dog with special needs even if they had room.  Last week we were notified by a couple who had a blind dog dumped by their house they have been feeding her but cannot keep her long term.  As week or so has passed they are now wanting to take her to our high kill shelter where she would not stand a chance.  Our shelter will kill for space so you can imagine a blind dog or any dog with physical limitations would probably be the first on the list.  This breaks my heart this dog, named Biscuit, is approximately three years of age.  She has shown no aggression and seems to be a happy dog despite being blind.  She only has one eye and the remaining eye is clouded.  I found your rescue by doing a search but it showed up for Tennessee but I see on your website you are not from this area.  If you could help maybe transport could be arranged to save this young girls life.  We are located halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga, TN.  If you could help, know anyone that could help, or direct me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.


Update ​5/19/16: Biscuit may be OK with other dogs!  Please read the email below from when she was at the vet's!  
 "There were a few dogs coming in and out of the vet's while I was at the front desk and she did great. Tail was wagging and she seemed all excited like she wanted to play. No growling or anything even when an old moody chihuahua in the corner starting growling at her."
