Toby Keith (M) 11-year-old in Centreville, Virginia
Toby Keith was turned into a Maryland shelter because his human companion passed away, The family could not take him, and his time in the shelter was running short. BFCACT quickly stepped up to save him, and we are so glad we did. Toby is an absolute sweetheart. He loves to play with other small, friendly dogs and to take nice long walks with his Foster Mom, where he enjoys the spring weather with all its new sights, sounds and smells. He is great with people and other dogs but hasn’t been tested with cats. His favorite place is sitting right next to you, wherever you are. We are not sure how old he is, but based on his energy level, curiosity and playful behaviors, we are guessing that he is around 11 years old. Toby is blind in one eye, which doesn’t stop him from being the active, happy boy he is. Toby Keith does well on the Foster Mom’s outside steps leading to her house but is still afraid to tackle a flight of steps inside. He has shown some improvement, thanks to Mom’s training and patience. This precious pup weighs about 14 pounds, was great at the groomers, and has been vetted and neutered. He is housetrained if he is taken outside regularly to potty. As he is in a very early stage of kidney disease, Toby needs to eat special prescription food to keep him healthy. He would be a perfect, entertaining companion and cuddler for a retired person or couple.
Corky (M) – 12 year old in Mill Creek, Washington (near Seattle)
Who is this little charmer with the adorable ears? It is Corky, our 14-pound bundle of energy and love! After previously living a quiet life with an older person, Corky is now having great fun learning how to be a curious, adventurous and enthusiastic little boy. He enjoys his new stuffies and has mastered the fine art of playing fetch. He just had his first “pup cup,” making quite the mess as he relished every lap. And he absolutely adores watermelon and bananas! Car rides? Yep, he loves them. But he is a master cuddler, too. He enjoys his laptime and has learned that sleeping on foster mom’s bed is pretty nice!
At first Corky was an anxious little boy in foster, but with natural supplements in his diet and plenty of exercise and love from his foster mom, he is making great progress in becoming a calmer pup. Corky is fully vetted, neutered and almost perfect in his housetraining. He clearly would love to have a friendly female dog his size to play with. No cats, please! Corky would be fine around responsible children who would respect his boundaries. He would do best with an experienced, patient dog owner who will work him through his remaining anxiety. This adorable boy is looking for a new lap to warm and a new life buddy or family to love him.
Flex (M) – Two year old in Arlington, Virginia
Flex, aka Flex-o, is going to make someone very happy they adopted him. He’s affectionate, has a calm disposition, is fully housebroken and walks well on his leash. Flex follows his fosters everywhere Flex, aka Flex-o, is going to make someone very happy they adopted him. He’s affectionate, has a calm disposition, is fully housebroken and walks well on his leash. Flex follows his fosters everywhere (yes everywhere) around the house. Loving to play fetch, he will bring the toy right back, of course expecting you to throw it again. He’s friendly with other dogs and people, although he will bark if he’s not allowed to meet them. He has become great pals with the neighbor’s dog and they love playing together. Flex-o is very smart. We think with a bit of training he would be a master of cute doggie tricks. He would do best in a home with other friendly dogs to play with. Lots of long walks and/or play dates with other pups are also on his wish list. Flex is vetted, vaccinated, neutered and healthy. (Note: He is not fond of veterinarians.) Weighing about 22 pounds, he needs to gain a few more to reach his perfect size. He has a great appetite, at night – yes, he will only eat at night. Go figure. Flex would be the perfect addition to an active family who can spend lots of time with him.yes everywhere) around the house.

Uni (Male) - 10 yrs old, Washington, DC - Adoption Pending
Uni is one happy lovebug despite the rough life he has led recently. He adores people and loves playing with young children and other dogs. Uni was terribly matted when he came into rescue and had to be shaved down under sedation, so he needs another proper haircut to look his best, but we feel pretty confident with the right family, he will soon learn that being pampered is all just part of the good life. Uni loves toys and will spend hours amusing himself and his family with his squeaky toys. He also walks well on a leash. Uni is on a special diet for the rest of his life to stay in tip top shape, so he needs a family that will maintain that discipline with him. Uni would do really well with a retired couple who wants to dote on him and let him entertain the grandkids.
Luna (F) – 12-year-old in Altamonte Springs, Florida
Our Luna is an energetic, active, happy, and self-confident little
girl. Her favorite thing to do is cuddle. She makes sure she is
sitting next to Foster Mom every time she relaxes in her easy chair
and sleeps close to her in bed, where Luna snores contentedly and
quietly all night. Luna thinks a photo shoot is the perfect time to
act silly, so these pictures don't do her justice, but her Foster Mom
thinks she is the cutest girl ever! She weighs about 13 pounds, and
is spayed and fully vetted. Luna does have a heart murmur which is not
unusual for pups her age and came through a dental cleaning last week
with absolutely no issues. She will need to stay on special food to
keep her kidneys healthy. Sweet Luna is missing some body fur because
of alopecia but it is beginning to grow back after the stress of her
past fades from memory, and she looks adorable in her sweater if she
gets cold. She would be perfect for a retired person or couple who
are home much of the time, and a fenced yard is preferred. Luna will
do best in a home with no other dogs and no children under the age of
12. If you are looking for a snuggler extraordinaire, Luna is your girl!
