Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Gemma! Gemma is a happy, playful girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart! She loves everyone she meets and enjoys making new friends, both people and dogs. She is full of energy and loves to play fetch, tug, and chase toys. Tennis balls and squeaky toys are some of her favorites, and she'll happily bring them back for another round. Gemma would love an active family who enjoys walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. Gemma is smart and eager to learn. She knows several commands, including sit, down, shake, wait, and "let's go." She is crate trained and enjoys having a routine. She is mostly house-trained but can have an excited or submissive pee when greeting people she loves. Calm introductions and a consistent schedule help her be successful. Gemma is always happy, curious, and wants to be part of whatever you're doing. She'll follow you around the house, check in often, and is always ready for fun. She can be a little mischievous, so secure doors and gates are important because she's fast and loves to explore. Gemma would do best in a home with children ages 12 and older due to her enthusiastic, energetic nature. If you're looking for an active, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling every day, Gemma is ready to find her forever home!

Story

According to her foster, Millie is a spitfire! Fortunately, she is very small so she isn't bouncing off the furniture or chewing up your house. She loves other little dogs and doesn't bother the cats that she lives with. She is very active and playful and loves to drag around toys. She is crate trained, sleeps through the night, and loves to go outside. She is pee pad trained but seems to prefer to potty outside. She walks on a leash for a time, but then looks at you with her sad eyes (what an act) so that you will pick her up. She does have a hind leg that she sometimes limps on and sometimes uses. She can go up and down stairs but sometimes needs help coming back up. She will go anywhere with you. She will alert you with a few barks when there is a disturbance in her universe.

Story

Meet JJ ❤️ JJ is a 5-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix who is looking for a home with her beloved brother, Jax. These two are deeply bonded and must be adopted together. JJ is the quieter, more reserved half of the pair. She can be a little shy at first and may seek out cozy hiding spots under furniture or blankets until she feels safe and comfortable. Once she settles in, her sweet and gentle personality shines through. She is pee pad trained and enjoys a calm environment where she can build trust at her own pace. JJ finds confidence in having Jax by her side, and together they make a wonderful pair for someone willing to give them a little time and patience. If you're looking for two loyal companions and understand that the best relationships are worth waiting for, JJ and Jax would love to meet you. ❤️🐾

Story

Denny is brand new to BR so we are still learning all of his things-but he came to the shelter as a stray and what we know so far is he can be a little feisty with cats selectively, seems good with other dogs, is a total snuggler, and loves to sleep with you! We also know he needs a dental and we will be headed to the vet June 12th to make sure this little man is in good health and will get that scheduled! We also know he needs a good groom but the poor man is severely matted and in rough shape. He will remain coming soon until we learn more! June 29, 2026, 1:41 pm
