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.
Rosa (F) – Eight-year-old in Gainesville, Florida
Sweet Rosa brings sunshine and her delightfully huge personality wherever she goes. Rosa is just as happy going for a walk, helping you in the garden or snuggling on your lap for hours on end. Even with her boundless energy, she has an “off” switch and settles right down to match your activity level.
Rosa would love to keep you warm at night in your bed but will politely sleep in her own bed if you prefer. She walks nicely on a leash. Rosa is dog friendly, shares her space comfortably with cats, and loves all of your friends and neighbors (even THAT neighbor). In fact, she greets new people and pets like they are her long lost friends. As a bonus, she will let you know when anyone approaches your home and is devoted to keeping your yard squirrel free.
Rosa has not yet been tested with children, but we believe she would love to have someone to play with. She is fully vetted, had oral surgery leaving her with four beautiful little teeth and a healthy mouth, and is fully housetrained with NO accidents. She has not shown any separation anxiety. Weighing about 16 pounds now, Rosa is currently on a calorie-controlled diet to put her at a healthier weight. Rosa has level 2 and 3 patella issues on her rear legs, but they do not affect her mobility in any way. This little party girl with a sparkling personality and so much love to give is anxiously waiting for a family and home of her own.
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!
Uni (Male) - 10 yrs old, Washington, DC
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.
