Why does nobody want me?   :-(

I'm Vlad and I am always happy and thrilled to see you; my big bushy tail wags and I always do what is right ...  and yet nobody wants me.  Why?

Once upon a time I belonged to a lady that loved me and I loved her.  Then she died and I have been unwanted since.  First her relatives quit feeding me, then did not treat my eye and I lost my vision in that one eye to infection, then they dumped me at the shelter.  Another dog attacked me there and ripped open my foot and face then on my last day on Death Row, BDRA stepped in to save me and I went to a foster in TN.  My wounds are healed, I'm well-fed and healthy now ... and still nobody wants me.

I am thankful for my foster family is very good to me yet their calling and home is for very ill, blind and deaf, special needs, abandoned seniors dogs - I am none of those so understand why they will not keep me forever.  Unlike so many other doggies, I am young and healthy and can do everything.  I am loyal, energetic, strong, playful, positive, have a beautiful coat, am happy indoors and out, love water, am terrific with kids and with adults, like other dogs and live life with the utmost in canine joy ... and still nobody wants me.

I will continue to be me, get up each morning with my tail wagging, thankfully greet the day and people and doggie companions with joy, enjoy what life provides and give back love and happiness yet inside my heart I will wonder, will I ever get my own family and why, since I do everything right ... why still does nobody want me?

Folks say I am "DOG" at its finest: I love unconditionally, I am always happy to see you and you will know that by how I greet you with total love, my big bushy tail wagging and me giving you my undivided attention.  My dream is a home with a person or family I love, a family that that appreciates my love and loyalty, someone that wants me.  Is that you - are you the one?  Do you want me?  If so I need you; please apply now at: http://www.blinddogrescue.com/ourdogs/vlad.html to take me home!

Harmony

Harmony is a Miniature Pinscher, blind and diabetic and a very happy girl!  Harmony is energetic, loves giving kisses, curling up with you (or in a blanket or her kennel) and enjoys her walks.  Harmony would literally be happy cuddling with her human 24-hours a day - she is a lovey, this one.  Harmony gets along well with our entire pack, has tons of personality and is a positive and happy girl.   

Harmony was nearly euthanized by her past human, then our vet's office called and asked if we could take her in.  She's been fully vetted, HW- and on HW preentative and her diabetes is completely under control requiring 2 shots daily.  Harmony is completely blind yet is extremely smart and has mapped our two homes and yards out, goes up and down stairs easily and travels about comfortably.

Harmony seeks a Forever Home.  In return Harmony will be a loyal, devout and loving friend.  Harmony will win your heart, forever.  :-)

 Macey (Zihna)

On May 2, 2010  I  carried perfect Macey for the last time in this world, to a backyard burial site, and now she is waiting, playing at Rainbow Bridge.

Val and I are so thankful to each of you for your support and especially to those who brought Macey to us: Danielle, Colleen & Karen who facilitated Macey to BDRA, Kim for noticing an issue during transport and keeping her in VA (which allowed Andrew to go to Karen & Eric and on to a Forever Home).  Kim and Val then spent a Sunday transporting this sweet girl back home to us.

Though a BDRA doggie, Macey had good vision; she was mostly deaf and had neurological issues and learning disabilities.  Macey truly was at home and we were perfect for her.  Val has a deaf sister and a daughter, Kayla, that passed away at 16 from heart failure and also had some issues that Macey faced.  So - though not blind at all - Macey through BDRA found herself in our home, the one right place in the world for her.

That same day, I did a write-up for Macey's adoption page and we laughed about it, knowing Macey would not be adopted - too many issues.  Macey would live all her life with us and Val was already figuring what to do next winter as Macey just loved being outdoors all day and would pout and whine when kept in. 

Of course we built her a special pen, placed along a tree line for shade plus covered too.  Macey would play there, with us or alone, sometimes with Mama Buffy or neighbor doggie Rascal.  She loved to lie low, ready to pounce on her prey - us!  Macey enjoyed her rawhides, stuffies and being loved on.  It took awhile, yet she gave such good kisses and loved the ritual of nighttime loving before bed, a loving she received each and every night ... good for her and even better for us.

All of us will pass, though we know not when.  Some will have long lives, others like Macey short ones.  We can only hope to really have lived ... Macey really did live.  Macey played, she was happy, she loved us and we loved Macey.  Macey knew she was home here and fit right in to our pack of misfits, defectives and cast-offs.  Macey was a Bassim and a BDRA doggie and again Val and I thank each of you for helping make that true.  Please enjoy lovely Macey's pictures, attached.
