AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
This is a blog post, updated regularly as to who is available for adoption and the ‘quick’ status of others not yet available for adoption.
NOTE: This blog post is on each of the dogs’ individual pages.
All of our available dogs can also be found on our PetFinder website.
*To read a dog’s blog, scroll to the very bottom of that dog’s individual page and read upwards, skipping over any posts such as fundraiser posts. They will answer most of your questions re: age, history etc.*
**NOTE: As of December 1st, 2016; BHRR shall no longer be responding to any inquires to adopt. We are following the lead of other r/q organizations and ONLY completed adoption applications submitted to the BHRR BOD shall be considered/responded to.**
BHRR is a federally registered NP organization and requires an application/contract to be filled out, personal references including a vet reference if applicable and a home visit to be done before being approved to adopt.
We also require that at the time of meeting any BHRR animal (after completing the application process up to that point) that the whole family + any other currently owned animals are present for the mandatory home-visit.
BHRR only places per best/right matched personality fit.
We also require that within four months of having adopted your new addition that at least one full round/session of group classes of obedience (they can range from 6-18 weeks) must be started and upon completion; proof (registration + completion) must be submitted to BHRR’s attention at BHRR and with having your signature on the adoption application/contract; you will be in a legal breach of your contract should this not be done. The animal involved will have to be returned promptly & safely to BHRR at your own expense.

2) ONGOING – On February 21st, 2013, I received a most delightful and touching email from a woman named Allie MacAlister that is so very active in helping others
She is extremely talented and more lovely than any words can ever be put down on paper and she has wonderfully surprised me with the very stunning and unique artful creation of an Irish Wolfhound, inspired by our Bunker Dude. She is calling it ‘Art For A Cause’.
Another photo of BHRR’s Ernie
He is being cut back on his food a bit now too. He is chonky! That is not good for his knees/hips.
AND he was settled into his loving new foster home last night. It was an extremely stressful time over this past week+, yet nothing but smiles seeing how everyone took to him and vice versa when he was dropped off! We look forward to the updates/pictures of Mr. Ernie!
Mr Ernie will have his annual booked for the next week or so!
HE is such a good boy!
Today, Mr. Ernie was at LAH for a possible rectal polyp. A complimentary nail trim was also done.
Total Vet Bill: $115.94
Here is what the Vet had to say:
“I had the pleasure of assessing Ernie today. I suspect that he has a rectal polyp. The mass is approximately 1cm in diameter and there is a very long, thin stalk (1-2cm in length) anchoring it to the rectum. It bled after I manipulated it, but the bleeding stopped after a couple of minutes. I was very hesitant to pull on it, but I think it should be straightforward to remove.
The mass portion appeared to be friable and I was able to get a sample of the mass.
I recommend that you have it removed when possible under general anesthesia. If he will be undergoing another entropion surgery, it would be reasonable to do it then. I would not do it at the time if his stifles undergo surgery as there is a risk of feces contaminating that surgical site during his recovery.”
UPDATE: Mr. Ernie’s vet bill.
***$865 DONATED TO DATE!***
Mr. Ernie was at the vet today for a recheck after his bilateral entropion surgery. The Vet wishes to see him back in a month. X-rays of his knees/hips have been sent onward to two Ortho specialists to obtain their thoughts.

BHRR’s Ernie was scheduled to have his next recheck, boosters, etc., yesterday, January 8th, yet his foster home reached out to say that he had been exposed to Kennel Cough.
So, unfortunately, until he recovers, we cannot move forward with his boosters and then schedule his x-rays under sedation, bilateral entropion surgery, neuter, etc.
BHRR’s Ernie – our newest addition to BHRR!
He is a DDB, ~2 years old, and a ham!
He has a possible fractured tail, hip, and knee issues, and needs bilateral entropion surgery and to be neutered. He came into the rescue quite skinny and has been putting on the weight nicely.
We shall be doing X-rays on his tail, hips plus knees when he is under for his neuter. He is far too painful to attempt to manipulate him without sedation. We have him on Gabapentin for pain management.
He has been dewormed, is on flea/tick meds, has had his first vaccines and is back for another recheck and boosters in January.
His bills to date are over $1,200.
He has been treated for ear infections, and we have him on a fish-based food to help with his skin and any possible allergies.
Thank you to his special secret Santas for the pressies, including a Wiggle Bumz collar, leash, treats, toys, and an orthopedic dog bed.
This picture is from his foster home with some of his goodies.

We will follow our Lion King theme as we have done with previous DDBs we have assisted and call him “Ernie”. This is after Ernie Sabella, the voice of Pumbaa in The Lion King.
