Featured Rescue foster a dog and help them adjust to life in a home environment. We feel that a combination of learning basics of manners and routine in our kennel, coupled with time spent in a caring foster home can help our dogs make a successful transition into their forever home. Due to the high number of dogs we have currently in our kennel (and no available fosters), we are not able to accept additional dogs at this time. However, when we are open to intakes we take in dogs from virtually any environment. We try to help dogs in need, wherever they may be. We have taken many dogs from shelters, owner surrenders, and dogs who were found but not claimed by their owners. What are the future plans for BSDR? We hope to continue to rescue, care for, and adopt out as many dogs as we can responsibly handle. How are you funded? --100% of our funding is through donations and fundraisers. What items do you need the most donated? Typically we feed Fromm Adult from Hollywood Feed, but we will gladly accept any donated food), Nylabones, bedding, Kong’s, Frisbees, medium and large crates, paper towels, milk bone style treats (medium and large), medium and large harnesses are always things we need on a daily basis here. Bluff City Bark Magazine > Do you ever go to the shelter and rescue from there? Where do most of the dogs that you have for adoption come to you from? Cam He has been with BSDR for a very long time and they don’t know why. He is a lab mix who has enough personality to light up any room. He loves to play fetch, play with other dogs, splash around in the wading pool (in summer, of course), go for walks/jogs, cuddle, go for car rides…he’s pretty much up for anything! He’s a best-friend, co-pilot, loyal companion, loving family member and a hysterically funny comedian…. all rolled into one lovable dog. He is approximately 2 years old, knows basic commands, leash trained, current on all vaccines, neutered and microchipped www.bluffcitybark.com
