Hi my name is Bettie, I am a sweet girl that loves my people! If I can hear you, I'm going to find you so I can be right with you! I rise early for breakfast, love riding in the car, and deserve a game (or three) of fetch every day! Check back soon for my full bio and to see if I am a match for you!

Meet Taco! BSR#1615 posted 4/5/24
Hi! My name is Taco, and I am an almost 2-year-old, 30lb neutered fella. My foster parents sometimes call me Taco Bell, although I’m not really sure how tacos and bells go together?!? I am a gorgeous and furry bundle of chocolate if I do say so myself! I am an energetic and very affectionate little guy. People say that I am a very happy wigglebutt. I like to follow my foster parents around and give them kisses every chance I get. I am a little hesitant with strangers, but after we are properly introduced, I like to give them kisses also.
I love to run around the yard and explore in the nearby woods where I take in all the different sights and smells. I love to retrieve balls and will play fetch as long as you like. At the end of the day, I really like to cuddle next to someone as they pet and scratch me behind my ears. Since I have been at my foster home, I have learned and experienced many things. I have learned to sit and stay, and I have learned the meaning of the word "no." I have learned that my crate is a safe place, and I like to sleep there all night. My foster parents are especially happy that I have learned that the yard is the place to do “my business.” I have come to enjoy playing with the other dogs in the house and playfully harassing the cats. The neighbors have two small children and I like when they come over to play with me.
Even though I have learned many things, I still have some more work to do. I am currently learning how to walk on the leash better and to not jump up on people no matter how excited I am to see them. I am also a little hesitant around water. However, I think over time I would learn to love water and swimming. I really like my foster home, but I am ready to find a place for myself. As I mentioned earlier, I am a very affectionate little guy! I would like to find a place where I would get lots of love and attention. I also mentioned that I have a lot of energy and I would like to find a place where I can run around the yard and play one of my favorite games, fetch. I want a place where I can continue learning and experiencing new things. I have a great amount of love and affection in me and I look forward to sharing that with my new home.
Hi! My name is Bettie Jean because Southern girls just need a few extra names, right? I’m a petite, 5 1/2-year-old girl weighing 24.9 pounds. The vet says extra snacks are okay to achieve my goal weight of 30 pounds (yay me!!). I have a heart much bigger than my waistline and want to be your sidekick at the office, wandering the garden, or riding around town. And don’t forget I like to start our mornings early so we have all the sunlight for adventures (no sleepy heads on my watch)!
Speaking of adventures, I want to go where you go, just like a bestie does! I play hard and love harder. I know when to turn on the drive for retrieving and when to settle for snuggles on the couch. And yes, sometimes I like to nap atop the back of the couch cushions for a better view. I also know how to dance around on my back legs when excited or when taking a peak at what you’re working on at the office. And folks at my foster human’s office praise me daily on how well behaved I am because I know lots of basic commands like sit, here, off, and walk like a pro on the leash if anybody takes me outside.
I do have a few things I need to work on like staying when you tell me to sit tight, even if I can see you the whole time. I also need reminders to potty outside while I learn the boundaries of my forever home, and we build a routine together. Oh, and remember I said I’m an early riser, well when you hear me chirping from my kennel like an alarm clock, it’s time for me to go potty and then you decide if we are resting a little more or having breakfast. Right now my meal times include ear cleanings and drops while I get over my ear infection, but it is much better than when the vet first checked it out.
My dream forever home would have a fenced-in yard with plenty of grass to roll around on and space to play my daily rounds of fetch with tennis balls, dummies, anything you can toss and me bring back to you. A place to swim for retrieves is fun, too, and good exercise. Other dogs are okay, but I would be happy being your one and only, too. My foster family isn’t sure how I’d handle a cat, but young kids may be a no since I have a lazy eye and sometimes sudden movements can startle me so let’s not risk it. I know the perfect family is out there and I can’t wait to meet them soon!
Hi! I’m Mack (also known as "Mack-Attack" and "Mack-A-Roni"), a 4 ½-year-old neutered male that is energetic, fast, precious, lovable, vocal, well-trained, muscular, and a super friendly guy. These are just a few of those words called adjectives that my foster mom uses when describing me to others..a lot of words to say that I am a pretty great guy! I weigh in at a solid 46 pounds. So, some would say I’m a big boy, but I promise you it’s all muscle! I have several nicknames,
I know lots of things. I can sit, stay, shake, speak and give high fives just to mention a few. I know my name, too, but don’t always come back when called when I make a run for it. Because of that, I will definitely need a physically fenced yard in my forever home (no e-fences). Due to the fact that I’m a muscular guy and am a very fast runner, I’m not too good at walking on a leash. I tend to pull my foster mom and dad along, so I will really need a lot more work on mastering that.
Other than that, I’m pretty much perfect. Since there are five of us Boykins living together, I guess you could say I get along with others really well. I think I’m pretty special! I’m house trained, too! No accidents which my foster mom is really proud of. I am also crate trained, but I am so well behaved my foster parents let me have free reign of the house when they aren't there.
I really enjoy having all of the boykin fur-siblings, it reminds me of a family. "Family"... I really like that word and am looking forward to finding mine! If you have a large, fenced yard that I could run and play in, that’s at the top of my list with a few other things: I need lots of physical and mental exercise! I’m used to being inside with my foster pawrents and lounging around with the rest of the boykin crew but also enjoy running very fast. I would prefer to have my family home with me most of the time.
I would like a playmate about my age to get a little rambunctious with at times, but it’s not a deal breaker if there’s not one. I want my furever pawrents to show me lots of love and affection and allow me to share all the comfy spots around the house with them. I love a good scratch behind the ears so if you have some extra time on your hands could you sit and stay for awhile and take care of that for me? If I sound like a good fit for you and your family, how about clicking on that "I'm Interested" thingy below here and telling BSR why you would fit my needs?

Meet Whiskey! BSR#1616 posted 4/10/24
Hi! I am Whiskey, a 2 year old neutered male Boykin and I have a secret to share! My foster dad says I am the "most beautiful Boykin he has ever seen!" Now, I don't want my foster sister or any of the other fine BSR dogs to get jealous, but I mean...look at my silky chocolate coat and perfect Boykin build! I'm an energetic and strong boy, and very friendly too, so I think I'm perfect all the way around! I am still telling my foster dad all the things I want in a new home, so check back soon for my full bio and to apply!
