OKLAHOMA HOARDING CASE

We recently helped 8 dogs from a terrible HOARDING situation in Oklahoma.  These poor babies were abandoned with no food or water and left to fend for themselves.  Sadly, some were already deceased by the time we were informed of their situation. Those fortunate enough to survive are now here with us in Colorado where they are working on socialization and getting much needed vetting!   These babies are looking forward to loving forever homes and significantly brighter future! Here are some pictures of where they came from.  With your help, we’ll keep giving them every ounce of support we can manage and continue to help others in need!  Please consider donating!

Dogs of the week!

Twinkie, 11 years, Female Boxer, bonded with Scrappy, 1 year, Male Chihuahua, Good w/ Kids & Dogs, $550, Loveland
These two may look like an odd couple but they are quite the dynamic duo! Twinkie (11 year old female Boxer who looks and acts more like a 7 yr old dog) and Scrappy (a friendly 1ish year old male Chihuahua X) are bonded and looking to continue their journey together. Sadly they were owner surrendered in CA when their mom lost her home in these difficult times. They were only pets, but do well with the 5 other dogs in their foster home Twinkie runs around the yard playing with Scrappy like a youngster. She is in great shape and spirit for her age and it's really hard to believe this girl is 11?! They are both sweet as can be, LOVE HUMAN ATTENTION, and are kid friendly. Scrappy is a tiny lap dog and will cover you with kisses, and they both have to share the love. (You can't pet one without the other). If you can see yourself with two cuddle buddies, they would love to meet you! Twinkie and Scrappy are located in Loveland and their adoption fee is 550 dollars.
Dillon, 5 years, Male, Great Dane/Pitbull, Dog & kid friendly, NO CATS, $350, CO Springs
Meet Dillon! This poor soul was a stray in Texas for two whole years and finally caught by another rescue because he had a terrible infection in his jaw. While we were able to treat his infection, it took much longer to coax him out of his shell. He loves dogs and is very dog friendly, but is no NOT cat friendly. He is house trained and crate trained! We feel his ideal home will be a quiet one. Dillon needs a patient family, while he learns to be a house dog and also learns how to show affection. He’s a sweet boy who will sit next to you and let you rub his belly all day! Dillon is located in Colorado Springs.
Thumper, 6 years, Male, Mastiff, Windsor, $350, only dog (but non-reactive), older kid-friendly
Thumper is one gorgeous man with soulful eyes! He is another one of our long timers and has been with BBCR for over four months. That is four months too long for such a deserving and loyal dog. Thumper is a 6 year old mastiff who loves going on walks and getting cuddles, belly rubs, & treats. He originally came from CA with another male mastiff but at this stage in his life we think he would most enjoy being the only dog in the home. He doesn't react when other dogs pass by on walks, in fact he prefers to just lay down and watch them! Thumper is available for foster or adoption.
Dexter, 1 year, Male, Pitbull X, Dog/Kid friendly, $350, Windsor
Amazing boy still needs a home! Dexter is a handsome 1 year old pit mix who has a sweet and fun personality. He does great with other dogs, loves kids, and he is about 45lbs. Dexter loves car rides and his eyes light up when he receives love and attention. He has some resource guarding around other dogs, so he would need some training on this, if going to a home with other dogs. Dexter is located in Windsor and his adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Stitch, 2 years, Male, Husky X, $350, Windsor
Stitch is a Husky through and through! He is 4 years old, independent, and he enjoys hanging out in the sun. Stitch's playful side comes out when there is a tennis ball around, he loves playing keep away and chasing the ball around! Stitch is looking for a home with a fenced yard and one without other dogs and kids. He is currently located in Windsor and his adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Nala, 11 months, Female, Caucasian Shepherd, Good w/Calm Dogs & older Kids, $400, Windsor
Nala is an 11 month old Caucasian Shepherd Dog looking for a home where she can grow and thrive. True to her breed, Nala is easy going, smart, and independent. She enjoys affection and is good with other dogs, but would prefer to live with a companion mellow like her. Nala would love a home with a large fenced backyard and we recommend a home with kids 12 and older. Nala is currently located in Windsor and her adoption fee is 400 dollars.
Cooper, 2 years, Male, Husky, Good w/Kids and Dogs, $350, Windsor
