Lewis & Clark (Males) - 12 years old, Loveland, OH
We are delighted to report that Lewis and Clark are ready for their forever home! Originally surrendered when their owner moved into assisted living, an absolutely wonderful foster drove many miles to help give them the golden years they deserve.
These little gentlemen are the whole package: snuggle bugs, delivery alert systems, kitchen vacuums, and friends to dogs and cats alike. They are perfect angels at the vet, and are house-trained (though Foster Mom reports a wee bit of marking when strangers enter the home). They do not need a fenced-in backyard if they are walked regularly. We recommend they not be placed with young children, who may be too much for them. Both dogs have health issues typical of mature pups, including skin, ear and eye allergies. Clark just had a dental cleaning and eight extractions. Lewis has arthritis and a heart murmur, both of which are controlled by medications.
Anyone who has adopted a senior dog knows the incomparable love and gratitude mature pups give, and there is nothing better than watching them thrive in a nurturing, happy home. If you are willing to give your heart to these boys, they will offer you much more in return….and then some.
Scarlet (Female) - 13 yrs old, Cullman, AL
Scarlet's journey to BFACT took an unfortunately scenic route. After her lifelong owner passed away, she was taken in by a kind-hearted soul for a time, before eventually ending up at the shelter. After a long freedom ride with her new foster mom and a bit of TLC, Scarlet is ready for her next forever home! Spayed and fully vetted, she is a sweetheart who gets along with cats and other dogs. The vet recommends she lose a few pounds (she weighed in at 26, so there is plenty of her to love!). Adopting a senior is a unique and rewarding experience. There is no love greater than that of a senior dog for its human companion. They enrich our lives beyond measure; are you ready to share your heart and home with Scarlet?
Uni (male) - 10 yrs old, Boiling Springs, PA
Hi, my name is Uni and I am a very handsome boy who is 10 years of age. I have had a very hard month. My Dad, who I loved dearly and lived with my whole life, moved into assisted living and all of a sudden I had no home to call my own and was living in a kennel I didn’t like very much. My Dad’s family reached out to BFCACT and yesterday I met a nice lady, my new Foster Mom, who took me in her car to her home in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania (in South Central Pennsylvania not far from Hershey and Gettysburg). My Foster Mom is just getting to know me but already I have shown her that I can be a happy boy and love other pups. She will be taking me to the groomers pretty soon so everyone will see just how beautiful I am. (Just between you and me, I don’t like getting groomed very much, but otherwise I am a perfect gentleman.) I will be staying with her so she can get to know me and take care of any medical problems. (Maybe she can give me a short refresher in house training – my Dad wasn’t able to take me outside enough and I have forgotten a few things I knew before.) Then she will be working with BFCACT to find another family to love me. Do you think you might be able to do that? I promise to be the best boy ever.

Love, Uni
