Slinky
BBRPics/Slinky.JPG BBRPics/Slinky1.JPG

My name is Slinky and I am a very senior male. I was recently dropped off to be euthanized because my family didn't want to care for a senior dog anymore. Thanks goodness the Humane Society called the rescue to save me. I'm just a good ol' boy wanting to live the rest of my life where I can be loved. I am deaf and blind, but I don't have any other medical issues. Is there a place in your heart for an older guy?

I am a young 18 month old deaf baby. I do have my natural tail which is quite obvious in my pics. I am not quite crate trained yet, I will go in but will talk for awhile, not bark but I am a talker. I am learning my hand commands from my foster mom, she is a good teacher, but I am just all about wanting to play with the other kids right now. I am really enjoying my foster home and all the others I get to play with. I am very good with other dogs, they just need to be playful. I am also housetrained.

Preston-Special Needs - Deaf
BBRPics/preston2.jpg  BBRPics/preston3.jpg BBRPics/preston.jpg
Hi, my name is Preston. I was found in animal control along with my brother. He got adopted before the rescue could come to get me. That is very unfortunate for me because he was my "ears" I'm a deaf boy and feel totally alone in the world right now. My foster mom is working on my sign language, which I seem to be picking up pretty quick. Although I've lost my brother, I still want to get up and play with my other foster siblings. I love the tennis ball, as you can see in my video. Do you have what it takes to be my special new family? I promise to give you lots of love in return!

1-30-07 UPDATE:  Gunner is ready for his new home.  He has turned into one very playful boy.  He loves his toys and wants nothing more than for you to play with him.  He is becoming one very good looking guy, he is filling out and his special diet certainly agrees with him.
1-5-07 UPDATE:  Gunner came home from the hospital 1-2-07 and is doing very well.  He has gotten his playfullness back and is loving every minute of laying on the couch.  He will be a great addition to his new family.
12-28-06 UPDATE:  Gunner was taken into the hospital today and after extensive testing he was determined to have Pancreatitis.  He is currently on IV's for the next few days and is being fed the same way.  He is doing well and should be able to come home 1-2-06.  He will have to be on a special diet for the rest of his life with no outside foods or treats being added to his diet.  The vet cannot be totally sure it will not reoccur, but it is very treatable and manageable.

We have Gunner listed as a senior male, we are unsure of his exact age because of the condition he is in. Malnutrition can age a dog well beyond their years. We estimate he is between 5-8. He is a very loveable boy who came from the same shelter as Harmony. Everyone worked very hard to get Gunner into rescue and transporting across the state. He is certainly enjoying food and a nice bed to lay his head. He has received his vaccines and is heartworm negative but being treated for several different parasites. He must obtain a healthier level before he can be neutered. We will post more as we learn, currently we are trying to get his hunger appeased.

Adoption Donation: None to the right home that will be able to control his pancreatitis and diet.

Lynx

BBRPics/Lynx3.JPG BBRPics/Lynx4.JPG

My name is Lynx and I am a very special boy of 1-2 years of age.  You see, my owner came outside to feed me one day and discovered I was blind.  It is most likely I was born blind and my owner just never payed enough attention to me to notice.  Upon discovering I was blind, my owner took me to the vet to be euthanized.  He told the vet he did not have the time to mess with a blind dog.  The vet staff convinced my owner to relinquish his rights to me in hopes of getting me into rescue.    If a rescue could not be found quickly, I was still going to be euthanized.  My foster mom was the only person who inquired about me, and picked me up on the day I was to be euthanized.  I am so thankful to be in rescue…I am truly getting a second chance.

Once in my foster home, my mom noticed something else was not right with me.   While I was at the vet being neutered and getting all my vaccinations, it was determined I am partially deaf.  Adjusting to my new life has been really hard for me and my new mom.  I am slowly learning to trust her and she is learning that I get easily overwhelmed.  I have made great progress in just a week’s time, but I still have a ways to go.  I already know the “sit” and “down” commands.  Once I am fully acclimated to my new life, I am going to be a great dog.  My foster mom and I are working really hard, so we can show everybody what a great boy I am.  I love to play with other dogs and I’m learning to play tug-o-war.  I will need to be adopted into a home with another dog.  I really need another dog to be my mentor and to show me the ropes.    I am not quite ready for adoption yet so check back for updates on my progress.

BBRPics/Chase0509_6.jpg BBRPics/chase4.jpg
I am known as Chase.  I came from a local kill shelter and got out just in the nick of time.  I came in with a stab wound on my back.  I love my new foster home and I am getting along well with the other dogs.  Here is what my foster mom says about me: 

I arrived at my foster family on 5/23. I get along okay with my foster family's boxer boys. They have this thing they call a 'kitty', I just can't figure it out. I sniff it as much as I can until I'm told to leave it alone and I do. They tell me I'm a good boy all the time and that I walk good on the leash.  I am trying to be a good boy. I get a little excited with all of the new attention and I get the wiggles. I need a home with lots of love and no small children. Are you my forever family? 
More will be posted on Mr. Chase as we learn all about him.

BBRPics/3Diesel0709.JPG

Diesel is approximately 2 years old and was surrendered to a kill shelter by his owner.  He gets along well with other large dogs, both male and female.  With a little work on the part of his adoptive family, Diesel should do fine with small dogs or cats.  He likes children and would do best in a home with older children. 

Diesel is fully housetrained and is continuing to work on his crate training.  He is doing much better in his crate, but gets very nervous and prefers not to be crated.  He would do best in where a family member is home a good portion of the day.  Diesel is very lovable and wants to be by your side all the time…he is definetly a cuddler.

Meet Sid, he is approximately 4 years old.  Sid is a very strong, muscular boy.  He managed to get picked up by animal control two times. The second time, his owner chose not to come get him.  Sid does not understand why his owner just left him at the shelter to die.  He is very happy and LUCKY to of made it into rescue. 

Sid is housebroken and crate trained.  He is a little shy and needs time to warm up to new people.  When you to talk sweet to him, he wiggles around and shakes his booty. He comes right up to you, turns around, and sits on your feet….and then leans on you. Sid loves to play chase and wrestle with large female dogs.  He also loves to zoom around the yard and likes you to pretend you are going to chase him.

Sid loves to go for long walks and would make a great running partner. He gets so excited when he knows it is time to walk. He is a great listener and just wants to please you. Sid will be a great companion for the right family. Sid will do best in a home with older children and no kitties or small dogs.
