Hello!
My husband and I were fortunate enough to adopt Tucker from BDAR about a little over a year ago on Feb. 17th. Wanted to provide y'all with a little update because we can't imagine life without him! He's been such a sweet boy and the perfect addition to our family/pack. How he went almost four years w/o a home is beyond us. He really is one in a million. As someone who used to be scared of big dogs, he's quelled that fear for me.
I teach at En Avant Dance Studio and we're partnering with BDAR for our end of year performance. Tucker (and a few others) is being honored for one of the classes I teach! The dance is inspired by the first time I took him to the groomer, just a few weeks after adopting. It was the first time we took him out of the house and left him somewhere without us. When picking him and our other dog up, he got off his leash and took off. What started as panic turned into joy because when I caught up to him, he was sitting in the parking spot I had parked in to drop them off. He looked at me and smiled as if to say, "Time to go home?". Thanks to this, I've choreographed a dance to the song "Car Wash" from Sharktale. My students and me will be dancing as if we're working a pet spa/dog wash. At the end, we're holding up signs that say "Adopt don't shop." I can't wait to honor my sweet boy this way.
Thank you so much for bringing our four-legged buddy into our lives!! We recommend adopting from BDAR to everyone we know. Attached are a few photos from this last year.
All the best,
Charles and Nate
Otis has been renamed to Odie and he’s settling in well with our little family! He loves being outside and going on walks with Bella. They share Bella’s big bed and Odie has his own smaller bed. We’re still working on teaching him that not all strangers are so scary plus some basic commands. He is an A+ cuddle bug with me though and gets SO excited for his new wet food. We so appreciate y’all caring for him and giving us the opportunity to love him!!
Warmly,
Beth & Michael Kushner
She’s been with us now for 2 months and she’s more than made herself at home! She enjoys meowing for dinner at 1pm and stalking her sister (who’s warming up well!)
Bruce is doing great. It's like he grew up with us and has always been here. We did change his name (although I did like Bruce). His new name is Cannon and he seems to like it. …One in the kitchen and one in the backyard with his best friend IVY. They get along very well and even play together sometimes which is exactly what we hoped for. He has eaten a few loaves of bread off the counter, always leaving the bag behind just for confirmation but all is well. LOL Have a great week. I hope all your adoptions go as well as ours
Thank you for allowing us to bring Lucky home. Here are is a picture of him since he has been with us.
We are so happy to have him!
(Lucky’s dad surrendered him to BDAR and then sadly passed away a couple of weeks later. Some friends of his original owner traveled from FLORIDA to adopt him!)
Yukon (Prince) was taken to a new home in Montana and blends in well with his new family!
We got your postcard and thought we would send you a picture. This, of course, is Ella and our cat, Dora. Penny, our earlier bdar dog gets along so great with Ella. All three sleep on the bed at night with me!
Logan is a joy 🥰 We are so happy he joined our family. You’re right, he loves his ball! We play ball with him several times a day. He sleeps with his ball🐶🥰 Last night he was already in his bed, but had to go find his ball, before snuggling in for the night😜 He also loves blankets!
We love him very much❤️ Thank you for making his adoption possible.
