Meet Brooks! BSR #1670 posted 7/17/24
My name is Brooks, and my foster mom says I am PRECIOUS! (Really, in ALL CAPS she says that!) I’m 4 years old and 51 lbs (yes, I am working on some weight loss...aren't we all??) with a low stocky build. I am also a ball-retrieving expert! But my demeanor is my best feature...and it will make your heart melt! I love BIG; and in such a way my foster mom says is not like other dogs.
So, while you may be charmed and find me immediately perfect… I still need you to be on your toes because I have shown that I will sometimes eat things I shouldn't. My foster mom says I am a heavy chewer with most toys and will tear them apart and try to eat them if given the chance. And I also confess that I love the contents of the dirty clothes laundry basket or trash can; I’ve even mastered the art of securing items undetected and sneaking off with them, so I need a home that has already thought about securing those types of things and keeping things away from me that might be tempting. But the good news about me is that there is a very easy way my foster mom has found to help me find healthier redirections of my energy: ACTIVITY! (more of those all caps words my foster mom uses for the important stuff!).
I love walks~ in fact, I love any adventure that is with you and retrieving the ball is my favorite thing of all! Initially I had “stranger-danger” reactions to new people , but this, too, is becoming a thing of the past the more socialized I become. Because this is a work in progress, it’s best my future home be more on the quiet side at first with few visitors and children so that I can continue to build confidence in controlled situations where we train for distractions and strangers, not get bombarded in my home space.
I do great with other dogs, cats, and even squirrels! If they’re in my yard, they’re in my yard; no big deal! I haven’t tried swimming yet, but I’m not a fan of the rain or getting my feet wet. I do know basic commands, and I don’t counter surf or beg and am very mindful of my surroundings. Fireworks and thunder don’t phase me. I will happily get in my crate but will need help managing your absence in the crate or out of it if you’re away. But being out of it in your absence has proven to be riskier because I have freaked out and messed up stuff in my panic to find my Foster mom and then there are those tempting trash cans and such.... So continued work with crate use and handling separations is needed~ I will probably do best with a family that doesn’t leave me often or for many hours at a time. If it must be hours, I will need my medication the vet prescribes until I can learn that you always come back.
I’m a great catch and I've got the demeanor you’ll love! You’ll also see that I try so very hard to quickly do what is asked. I figure things out impressively quick— faster than my foster mom realized. I will just need your love and support to see me through to becoming the version of myself.
Hi! I’m Chocolate “Chip”! I’m a neutered male, maybe 4-5 years old? (I was a stray so no one really knows). I weigh about 31 lbs - I need to gain some weight and I’m working on it! I’m a sweet boy that loves to get and give affection! I’m an inquisitive and curious Boykin and I love being around people - my foster mom says I’m the best WFH office assistant. I have a foster brother and I love having another dog around because I’m learning about how to be a good boy and he shows me the way. I am housebroken and I go to the door when I need to go to the bathroom. I know “sit”, and I’m eager to learn more commands and tricks! I’m used to sleeping in my crate at night and when my foster mom leave she puts me in there to ensure I don’t get into any mischief. I’d be an excellent workout buddy because I’m quick on learning leash etiquette (but need consistent work on it), and I enjoy being outside. I like to go where others are going so take me along on any adventure!
I still need to work on certain commands like “down” “lay,” “here/come." Once I’m acclimated to someone’s house rules, I should catch on how to behave. I have grasped routines in my foster home very quickly. I like being around other dogs, but I haven’t experienced being near cats or children.
An ideal home for me would be with another dog and someone who will enjoy all the affection I want to give! I would benefit from continued training and an active lifestyle. I am working on my weight gain and my coat/fur has been improving with salmon supplements.
Coming Soon! These dogs are finishing their time in BSR's care and nearing availability. We are working on their bios and they should be posted for availability soon, so make sure to check back daily!
Meet Lilly! BSR #1626 posted 7/12/24
Hello friends! I'm Lilly, and I have been through a lot in my short time in BSR's care. Most importantly, I had a litter of puppies that were born on my way to my foster...I think my first transporter got a surprise when she tucked me in for the night and woke up to puppies!! But we all got to my final destination and I was a good momma, but now they are going on to their new fosters and its my turn for all the attention! I am very sweet and loving, and you can pet me all day if you want! I LOVE that! I just got spayed, so once I heal I will be ready for my forever home. So check back soon for me to become available!
Meet Penny! BSR #1648 posted 7/17/24
Hi, I'm Penny, and I am a sweet 5 year old girl who came into BSR's care after a change of living circumstances with my family. But I found my way to a foster who has helped me get back on my feet and start building my confidence. I'm now a playful and happy girl and guess what...I am being fostered on the west coast! That's rare for BSR, so all you western state adopters that have been waiting...get ready for me to become available soon!
