Aspen
Status: Adoptable
Aspen is emotionally intuitive to the point that her foster mom believes she could make a great support animal. She is intelligent and affectionate and loves her ears rubbed. True to her breed she is high energy and enjoys walks. She is an extremely strong leash puller so will be working on that and need a home that will continue her training.
She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home - iniating play and sharing a bed and has done exceptionally well with introductions to kids of various ages! Aspen does seem to like to chase cats so a home with no cats is recommended.
Aspen is a German Shorthair Pointer who joined the BLJ as a place to heal from her traumatic past. Aspen is friendly with humans and dogs and is highly intelligent. She is also very anxious and fearful due to a history of abuse. Aspen is currently decompressing in her foster home where she will learn that humans can be trusted to provide love and security. We will focus on growing her confidence and showing her what it means to truly be wanted. We look forward to seeing this girl thrive as she begins to let her guard down and embrace the love good humans have for her.

Allen
Status: Adoptable
Allen has completed his medical evaluation with a diagnosis of cerebellar aplasia. He is a wiggly, happy puppy who loves everyone he meets! Because of his intense cuteness, he has had a tendency to be coddled and is still working to be calm independent of being held. He loves to play and will need a home that will continue to champion him towards increased mobility. We do not know if Allen will achieve independent mobility or if he will need constant support and/or a wheelchair. So he is looking for a family willing to walk that journey with him as he grows into the amazing and loving dog he will become.
Allen is a true gentleman and is waiting on his bowtie to arrive. He is estimated to be a 12 week old maltipoo. He was left at the shelter with a request to euthanize and scooped up by a local rescue who knew his needs were a perfect match for the BLJF. He is presenting with symptoms that are consistent with cerebellar hypoplasia and is being fostered in the LA area with an extremely experienced special needs foster so we can better assess his needs and abilities. Allen is a typically sweet and playful puppy and beginning to take steps on his own!

Sparrow
Status: Adoptable
Sparrow is learning confidence and her true husky puppy nature is shining through – she loves all the toys, chewing on her foster siblings’ ears, and laying outside when it’s cold! Sparrow thrives on essential oils for calming and enjoys helping her foster pick out which oils she needs. Sparrow has is very communicative and true to husky form she is vocal about her needs and tattling on her siblings. She LOVES to eat and to play in nature.

She may have a slight vision impairment but the vet said she “just doesn’t care” when things are coming towards her face – that she is not blind. She has a little bunny hop when she runs which is likely from malnutrition but does not keep her from running around and causing trouble!
Sparrow joined BLJ as an 11-week-old husky puppy with a rough start to life. After contracting parvo, she was left at a vet to be euthanized. Thankfully, the vet treated the parvo instead.
Sparrow is a gentle soul, and a fierce survivor. Despite having been wronged by humans so many times in her short life, she continues to trust and show affection. We are excited to watch her blossom into the amazing dog we know she is!

Status: Adoption Pending
Ford is a 6 month old goldendoodle puppy. He is ALL puppy! He loves to play and wants to be in the center of the action at all times. Typical of both puppies and CH dogs, Ford is very bitey, hence his nickname 'Bitey Ford.'
