Story
Meet Searchlight! Just like her name, Searchlight has a bright, bold personality that lights up every room. This energetic, intelligent girl is always ready for her next adventure and loves having both her mind and body engaged. Whether it`s hiking, learning new skills, or playing with her favorite people, Searchlight is happiest when she has something to do.Searchlight is a strong dog who will thrive with an experienced, confident adopter who can continue building her manners and provide consistent guidance. She is still working on her training, and enrolling with a professional trainer is highly recommended to help her become the best companion she can be.As a stray, Searchlight`s history is unknown, so we are taking introductions thoughtfully. Dogs in the home are not recommended to begin, and in the long run dominant dogs may not be the best fit for her.If you have cats, a Dogs Day Out trial will be required before adoption. Because Searchlight may be inclined to chase, dog-savvy, confident felines would be the best match. Searchlight may also do well with respectful children who understand how to interact appropriately with an active, strong dog.If you`re looking for a smart, active companion and are ready to invest the time and training she deserves, Searchlight has the potential to become an incredible lifelong friend. Come meet this shining girl and see if she`s the perfect addition to your family!

Looking for a treat-loving, tail wagging addition to your home? Look no further than Piglet! He is a big bundle of joy with an even bigger personality! This happy-go-lucky pup arrived at BHS as a stray, and while we don’t know much about his past, we know he’s ready to find a new home.Piglet enjoys his daily exercise, but once he’s had his fun, he’s more than happy to lounge the afternoon away on a cozy bed. He thrives on companionship and will do best in a home where his family can give him the time and patience he needs to adjust to life outside the shelter. To help him settle in, we recommend he start off as the only dog in the home. While he may be able to coexist with dog-savvy cats, proper introductions and space will be essential. All humans in the home will need to meet with Piglet to ensure his comfort as he adjusts to yet another big change in his life.Piglet will be sure to “ham” it up for your attention and an extra treat or two! We’ll be sure to have some treats ready when you come meet him at BHS!

Story
These beautiful girls came through a rescue where I was fostering, but they have not been able to place them in four months, so I have the challenge of doing so myself. They are 10-months old, LOVE people, very playful.Right now, unfortunately, they are living in a large room over my garage. I had AC in there all summer, but I cannot afford to heat this big space this winter, and they need to get into a home where they can learn what it is like to have a home. We have a dog of our own who is not dog friendly so that is why they had to stay in the room over the garage. I didn't think these poor ladies would be stuck up there for 4 months and that no one would ask about them. Please help me get them into a home. They will reward you well for it. I truly believe they will be very smart girls!I will also pay half of the spay expense.Please contact me to learn more about these sisters.

Story
I'm looking for help rehoming my dog, Griffin. As I have a neurological disorder, I can no longer provide the lifestyle he deserves. I'm hoping to find him a home with loving humans, another dog and a fenced-in yard.Griffin is a 96 lb, 4 year old neutered Great Pyrenees/Lab mix. He's a handsome, sweet-natured dog. Playful, goofy and affectionate, he loves long walks, hikes, frog hunting, snowy romps, and playing with other dogs.He's well-trained, walks beautifully on leash, knows commands including sit, down, stay, wait, and he completed an adult manners class. He's smart and eager to learn. Griffin loves other dogs, though he can react to intact males when on leash. Griffin has the classic Great Pyrenees love of adventure. If given the opportunity, he's likely to wander off exploring, so a fenced-in yard and leash walks are important for his safety. His ideal home has experienced large-dog owners. He's a loving wonderful dog, and finding the right home is my highest priority.
