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!January 7, 2026, 4:33 pm

Story
Toto is brand new to BR so we will learn more about him soon! He came to the shelter SEVERELY matted and anxious but was medically shaved down and seems to be ok under all of that dreadlocked coat. He is still getting settled with his foster and was just neutered before we pulled him so we need to get a bit more handle on his personality and have him vetted before we have him available for adoption but stay tuned!January 14, 2026, 12:44 pm
