Meet Jake! BSR #1461 Adoption Pending!
Meet Huckleberry Finn! BSR #1452 posted 1/27/23
Little Brown Dog seeks adventure & fun with a new best friend!!
Hello!! My name is Huckleberry Finn, but my friends call me Finn. I am the most handsome good boy ever~well at least that’s what my foster family says!! I’m approximately 2 years old and a fit 38 pounds. Back in October I had to have orthopedic surgery on my back, but the doctors and the rescue say I have made a remarkable recovery and you'd hardly know I was injured! Today I can run and play with the best of them, but of course my foster watches to make sure I don't do too much jumping.
I've never met a stranger and I love meeting new dogs and even kitty friends!! Sometimes though my fellow canine and feline aren't always ready for my energy and eagerness to play right away. I'm really good with kids, too, although I may be too much for the little ones.
I love prancing around the backyard showing off some of my favorite toys. I do great in a crate as it is my quiet place! Outside the crate I'm a ball of energy. It would be great if my new best friend would like to go on adventures and help burn some energy with me. I'm very eager to learn so some continued learning and training would be nice. I can sit and I'm working on heal and stay and almost got them mastered!! I am motivated with treats and praise. My perfect match would be a best friend that can embrace my fun loving, adventure seeking boisterous self. A fenced yard would be lovely in between our adventures. My new best friend would have love, patience and consistency for me to thrive!!
Hi, Tiega here! I'm a 34lb, sweet girl full of curiosity about the world. I love every dog and human in it -- I haven't met a stranger, and I'm so excited to meet new friends at every chance I get. I'm a little over 2 years old and learning new commands every day!
I love going outside where I like to pretend that I am as fast as a greyhound. My foster brother (another Boykin, just like me!) loves watching birds and squirrels, but they just don’t do it for me. Hunting isn't my thing~ I am much more interested in other dogs, people, and balls that smell like bacon. I am a gentle soul and my idea of the perfect day would involve cuddling up to a person (any person or child) and licking their face, making goofy poses for photos, playing keep away from other dogs, exploring a new park, and practicing tricks for treats. I know how to come, sit, wait, stay, leave it, heel, bring it, up and down, and am mostly house-trained. I have no problem when I have a strict schedule (I was the epitome of perfection over the holidays). My foster mom keeps trying to tell me something about “lie down”, but that seems like a bunch of nonsense. The end of my perfect day would probably involve finishing a reindeer antler in one sitting and falling asleep at my parents' feet.
Did I mention I love my humans? I don’t need to be on top of them or have their attention every second, but I do prefer close companionship. It is probably why I don’t like being crated (unless I have food) or for my parents to be away for too long (unless I have a peanut butter kong—yum!). I actually like my humans so much that I sometimes try to take their food away and have been known to eat their dirty laundry. I’m very sneaky and it helps that I’m tall. I’ve been known on occasion to use my foster brother as a distraction so I can jump up and steal food while my parents are cooking. I know I shouldn’t, but the food just looks sooooo good. I also can jump as high as 6ft if I try and am super nimble. I imagine the food "sneaking" is something I will need to continue to work on...evidently humans are not a fan of it.
I absolutely adore my foster parents and dog-brother, but I know that I will be in love with my new family in a heartbeat. I am very go-with-the-flow. For example, if you want to go on a car trip, I’m as cool as a cucumber. Fireworks on NYE or going to the vet? No problem. Checking out a new café down the block? LOVE IT. I once saw a cat and am interested to know what that’s all about. They didn’t seem to like me very much, and I’ve no idea why! I’ll admit that there are a few things I’d like to have in a new home. I definitely need a large space to run around, preferably another dog-brother-or-sister to keep me company, and/or some young human brothers or sisters, too. I have a lot of energy and have loved horseplay with my foster-dog brother whenever I get bored. I went to the beach once and thought it was super cool – I bet I can swim well and would love to try! It would be great if someone in my family worked from home or had a part-time job. If I had another dog-brother-or-sister to show me around, I bet I could work up the courage to be at home longer.
Hi, my name is Bailey Grace. I am a whole twenty-three pounds of pure love and energy. The vets say I am in good health now and have super long legs that are great for running! I am just about to be two, so I am spunky and strong-willed but eager to learn if food is involved.
When I came to the BSR, I didn’t really know how to be a dog. My foster parents had their work cut out! I hadn't really spent much time with other people before, so at first when I was with my fosters and met new humans, I was super excited and jumpy! Now I still think new humans are cool, but I've learned to tone it down some with training. Potty training wasn’t my thing at first, but I am good about it now and only have accidents when I drink too much water. My foster mom says I don’t have a "gotta go" signal, so I am on a schedule (hah! more like she’s on my schedule!!). I love food, and my foster parents make me eat out of a stupid bowl with bumps in it. When I first got to their house, they didn’t let me eat near my foster brothers. But, now I know that the bowl with those darn bumps is my assigned bowl and I stick to it because we aren’t really allowed to share.
I love to meet new friends; my foster brothers have taught me to share and that other doggies aren’t scary. If you give me five minutes to sniff them out, I am fine to play chase with any other pup that can catch me…. these long legs are fast after all.! My foster brothers are super patient and have grown to like when I play snapping turtles!
My foster family gave me my own room and I am put in my gated area at night. Although I sometimes like my kennel (in my former life, my crate that was too small) so making sure I have enough space makes me super happy. I am not destructive to people items but have been known to eat tennis balls, which my foster dad says lots of Boykins do, so they know to watch me and not let me eat one!
I am looking for a family that ideally has no young kids because I do get excited and when I do, I jump up on people and give love nibbles. I don’t mind other dogs, but I haven’t met enough cats to decide whether they are friends or foes. I am a big lover and can’t resist a good cuddle session. I just want a family that is patient and understands that I do have some quirks. But, I like to learn and need a mom and dad that can keep me on a schedule and continue giving me direction to be a better me.
My foster parents love me and you will to, so if you are interested in having a sassy, energetic kiddo, please apply for me!

Hi! I am Daisy, and I am an 8 year old, super affectionate and happy little lady!
