Story
I recused her after she was thrown out of a car with a rope around her neck. She has become famous on social media and the news. I recently got a full time job and now and not home with her all day and she is crated. She has started acting out from being crated all day. I have 2 kids so I am unable to give her the time she needs she when I get home from work. She’s very loving and playful. She is reactive and protective but NOT aggressive. I don’t know how she is with other dogs. She’s fully trained and understands commands.

Story
Meet Mentos Moo! Mentos Moo had a rough start to life, being one of 15 dogs coming in to BTR from a hoarding case earlier this year. Mentos has been in a foster home for a while, and he is finally starting to be the dog he was always meant to be! Mentos has been around dogs and cats, and coexists with both great! He is finally learning to play with his foster siblings, and enjoying his new life! He is coming along in potty training, and has been a very polite house guest! Mentos is starting to trust people more, and showing less fear in his daily interactions! He is starting to learn tricks like sit, and he has become a completely different dog since coming into BTR! ***Please note that these dogs came from a hoarding in February and will need a patient, quiet household who will allow them to continue to adjust and warm up at their own pace. They are wonderful dogs and are going to be a fantastic addition to a family but need time to decompress and learn how to be dogs and trust people. They are required to go to a home that has another dog or be adopted with one of the siblings they are co housed with.

Story
Mel is looking for her perfect match: a loving home where she can be the only pet and truly shine. Though she's currently timid of other animals, including cats, any reactions she has are driven purely by fear rather than aggression. Mel is making strides toward overcoming her fears, and she's even had multiple playful interactions with another dog after some careful introductions, showing that deep down, she wants to connect. Her journey to feel comfortable around other pets will need continued patience, with a dedicated handler who can guide her through her fears alongside a professional trainer. A younger adopter with a gentle approach could be ideal to help her blossom. Mel is a huge cuddle bug and likes to stick near her person. Couch time is a fan favorite in her foster home, and she is always making her foster laugh with her silly antics (like sitting like a human or rolling up as tight as a cinnamon roll). Mel would excel in dog sports-she's got the athleticism and drive to dominate any field! If sports aren't your thing, she'd also thrive in a semi-active home. While she's content to lounge on the couch all day, she needs regular exercise like any other dog, such as a 1-2 mile walk or a vigorous play session. Her favorite activity? The flirt pole-it's the highlight of her day, and she can't get enough! Are you ready to help Mel unlock her full potential?

Story
I've had the pleasure of fostering Jackie for about a month now. She is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet. I had originally met her a few weeks earlier when I was fostering another dog and brought them in to meet a potential adopter. She had just come back from a dog day out and was super shy but I got her to come up to me and say hi and she gave me a hug and I said I would be fostering her next if she was still available. It took her a few days to start warming up to me and to take in her new environment but over time she's gotten more comfortable going outside and walking around in the yard. She has heartworm so I haven't really taken her on long walks or played with her much but you can tell once she's feeling better she's going to be a lot of fun. For now she gets lots of rest on the couch or in bed. She has no problem making herself at home once she's comfortable with you and her environment. She's full of love and will cuddle with you all day. She loves belly rubs. She knows her name and is very treat motivated. We taught her how to walk up and down stairs because that was new for her and she will go to the door when she needs to go potty. She gets lots of compliments on how cute she is and does well around strangers and other dogs even if they are barking at her. I can't wait for her to find her forever home and I know whoever that ends up being is going to love her as much as I do."

Story
Tommy is easy to fall in love with and is a very sweet and happy boy. Despite having a rough go at life, Tommy is always wagging his tail and wanting to be loved. With that, Tommy does like his boundaries to be respected at times, but he is a very vocal boy - so he will let you know when he needs space. Tommy does suffer from a heart condition and bad allergies which are managed through twice a day medication and a monthly shot. In addition to that, he has almost no teeth! The ones he does have will be taken out as soon as he is cleared for surgery...but because of this, Tommy is on an all fresh/wet food diet. Tommy is house trained and does well being left alone for several hours. He loves to go outside, sniff and is slowing learning how to play with toys. He is obsessed with food and can sometimes be possessive of his meals (only with other animals it seems). Tommy has big emotions which means he gets very excited and can be stubborn. He is a bit of a barker so he would make the perfect guard dog, but he has been learning to manage this with training at his foster. His ideal home would be someone who is home more often than not and who can care and provide for his health conditions. He also is pet friendly and would do better in a house with another companion. Tommy is a very special and loving boy who is looking for a home that will cherish him and give him endless pets because he is deserving of the best!
