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

Story
Opal came to us not spayed and with a couple of mammary masses and a mass in her ovaries. We have since spayed her and had her masses removed and biopsied and all looks good! Eyes will need to be kept on her but she is ready to find her forever home-yay! Opal is suuuuch a sweet girl and loves to snuggle and is great with other dogs. Really we think she could be good with any family!  It would probably be best if Opal was in a home with no stairs-she does not like to be picked up and stairs are a challenge for her. But her fosters have been working with her on this and she is getting better. She may have some arthritis that causes her to really not liked to be picked up and this is the only time she will get grumpy. Other than that she is a sweetie and does great in a car and loves to travel!June 29, 2026, 1:41 pm

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!
