THESE ANIMALS ARE IN FOSTER HOMES   Prev 1,2,3

  

REESIE

Reesie is so named because of her markings!  =)  She looks like a Reesie's Peanut Butter Cup after you have bitten off a piece... All dark and chocolaty on each side of that tan/orangey peanut butter inside!  This Reesie has been nibbled many times!  LOL!!  This sweet, sweet girl is very shy at first, but will approach and ask to be petted after she's sure of you.  We think she was mistreated because of her submissiveness and because she is still learning to trust people.  She is now finding out that she can safely come through a door, even if a human is standing there.  She uses the dog door like a pro, and she would rather run than to eat - literally.  We believe that she is a Whippet mix.  At approximately 45 pounds, she is sleek, lithe, and unbelievably fast!  Reesie runs for the sheer JOY of running!  She responds with immediate speed when you call her name - just so happy that someone is summonsing her!  She gets along famously with the other dogs in the home and is very affectionate to her foster parents, often jumping on the bed for a snuggle first thing in the mornings.  At approximately a year-and-a-half old, Reesie has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and housetrained.  Reesie is looking for a forever home with a family who will give her time to continue to grow aware that she will no longer be abused, and someone with a big, secure yard for her to run in - a couple of squirrel-laden trees would be just the cherry on top!  Come On!!  Everyone loves a Reesie!!

REGGIE

 

Reggie is believed to be a Doberman/Ridgeback mix who is approx 9 - 12 months old.  He was abandoned in a rural area and left to die, except for the kindness of strangers.  [Read Reggie's Story]  This handsome fellow is now safe in a foster home, and has been fully vaccinated, neutered and housetrained.  He's ready, now, for his forever home with people who Deserve to share life with such a fantastic creature!  Apply today if you think you will be the right home for Reggie!

RYAN

 

Ryan is a Great Pyrenees mix who we think is about 5 years old. He was in pretty bad shape when he came to us, but now he's gained weight, has been fully vaccinated, neutered and thoroughly spoiled with loads of love to erase his memory of the horrible life he had before.  This sweet, affectionate guy is housetrained, will sit for treats and he'll give you his paw without your having to ask.  He's friendly, but protective of his 'flock,' and gives love and devotion that is absolutely unparalleled!   Ryan is totally non-destructive and he doesn't bark unnecessarily or dig.  He's attentive to you and is very responsive to praise or reprimand.  He LOVES his chew toys to be stuffed with peanut butter when you are leaving, and will take treats from your hand with a very gentle mouth.

SHELLY

 

Shelly is a little ShihTzu mix, we think!   She was rescued by a Good Samaritan from the parking lot of a Shell Station...thus, the name Shelly!   Little Shelly was also dubbed, "Lil'Ugly" during those first months in BHS Foster Care because, frankly, she WAS a little Ugly!   When she was found she was suffering from severe mange and malnutrition.  She scared, hungry and oh, so lost.  About half her body was totally hairless, and she was so thin you could almost see right through her!   But, after months of recuperation in the BHS Foster Care Program, this little darling has emerged as a beautiful, spunky, intelligent little DIVA, and we wouldn't have it any other way!  She has now grown a beautiful coat, been fully vaccinated, spayed and housetrained.  She loves everyone and everything!  She has no idea that she's so little, but she KNOWS that she's adorably cute!  OK, Shelly may be a tad-bit spoiled, but who's complaining??  If you think you can provide this little darling a safe and loving home where all the spoiling will continue, please apply to adopt today.  However, she will not be delivered until after the new year to avoid the double confusion of going to a new home and all the festivities that are likely to be taking place.

SMITTY

 

Smitty is a little Scottish Terrier whose persona is much larger than his physical being of 18 pounds.  This little character has been a fascination to watch develop into full Terrier mode!   He's a young boy and his perspective on life and the world around him is awe inspiring!  =)   Smitty  has been fully vaccinated, neutered, and is receiving regular  prevention to keep his heart free of heartworms.  He is cute beyond description and has learned to negotiate the dog door that is WAY too high off the floor for him!  He's tenacious and spirited, but can be sooo affectionate, too.  He behaves like a cat often doing circles around you legs, (er, make that ankles) rubbing against you, and stalking some stationary object only to back away a few steps and then make a running leap onto it.  Watching him discover himself in the mirror or any glass-fronted door is a total hoot!   He barks at that little doggie in the window, and tries to bump noses with it.  Although Scotties are known (and bred) to dig on search of vermin, Smitty has not dug or been destructive at all at the foster home.  He gets along fine with the other dogs in the home, although he has a vicious sounding growl that he emits while he is running in the other direction when someone has had enough of his antics!  We have learned that living with a Scottie is a new and fun experience!  We think the breed probably isn't for everyone, but for those who love Terriers, here is a real prize-winner!  If you want to add a little spark to your life, this little guy is for you.  Apply to adopt Smitty today!  He's just precious!!

TINKER

 
Tinker is a looker, isn't he?  He appears to be a pointer mix with all his blue ticked coat, but whatever he is, Tinker as beautiful as a painting and those golden eyes are mesmerizing.  He is a snuggler, but LOVES to play chase with his housemates.  Actually, Tinker is just about the complete package!  He's unique in appearance, already neutered, housetrained, leash-trained, sits for 'cookies,' gets along beautifully with other dogs, affectionate to people, uses the dog door like a pro and is missing only one important component - a loving forever home!    This beautiful dog belongs in a home!  Do you think he'd be a good fit in yours?   There's no exaggeration when we say that Tinker is a perfect boy...Now, to find the perfect home for him!

THOR

 
Thor was living on the street for at least 3 weeks. People were seeing him come back to a particular street corner every evening, (no doubt the corner where he was dumped) but no one could catch him.  Some would put food out for him, and some would chase him away. He never knew what to expect, except that he expected his owners to come back for him every single day. Thor was finally rescued after a lot of tenacious effort on the part of a BHS volunteer.   Because he is so gorgeous, someone who had been watching his plight, said they would take this poor dog, if we could catch him.  But, as is so often the case, when it came time to take him - they began to remember reasons that they just couldn't!  =\   Thor deserves better than that anyway, and we will find that special home for him!  He has been wormed, fully vaccinated and neutered; he also does well on leash and will sit for his meals and his treats.  Thor gets along great with the other dogs in the foster home and despite all that he's been through, there doesn't appear to an ounce of meanness in his Big, Sweet Heart!   He loves to tug the big ball out by the pool, and will chase it down when you kick it. He's fast as the wind, which is amazing considering he's such a big boy.  He was so skinny when he was rescued, but is now well rounded out at approx 85 pounds.  Thor is a gentle giant, if ever there was one!  =)  If this handsome dog sounds like the one for you, please apply to adopt him and look forward to loving and showing off your special boy.  There is no doubt that you will receive many years of love and devotion from this magnificent creature.
 

 

 

 

TINKER & BELLE

 
These two precious Dachshund/Chihuahua mixed babies were rescued from flood waters back in late July.    They are brother and sister and, together, weighed less than 10 pounds!  They had only one another to depend on in those first couple of months before they were rescued, and they are very bonded.  We will not adopt them separately.   Tinker & Belle are now approximately 5 months old, de-wormed, treated and cleared of Demodectic mange, fully vaccinated & spayed/neutered.  They are housetrained to pee-pads, now, but the transition to being fully housetrained shouldn't be too hard.  Belle, the female, has shorter legs and is a little stockier than her brother.  She is the leader; and where she goes, so goes Tinker.  Tinker has longer legs, a leaner body and sports a tiny white flash on his forehead.  They both now have sleek, shiny, reddish coats covering their elongated bodies, and a zest for life that will warm your heart. These puppies are beyond precious and we know we will get many applications.  However, only applicants who wish to adopt both puppies need apply.  They love each other way too much to separate them.
