Medical cases

Nothing hits us harder in rescue than puppies and dogs needing to be hospitalized.  It’s draining not only to the checkbook, but it’s so emotionally taxing on the fosters who love these dogs like their own.  We’ve recently been hit hard by parvo and pneumonia and it’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen.  The sad reality is not all survive.  With your help, we’ll keep giving them every ounce of support we can manage!  Please consider donating!

Dogs of the week!

Schroeder, 3 years, Male, Chihuahua X, Good w/Female/ Submissive Male dogs, $350, Greeley
Schroeder is a cuddly 3 year old, 8 pound Chihuahua. He is crate trained and is working hard on potty training. He would do best with older kids that respect his space. Gets along well with most dogs, but we feel that his ideal home would have small females or small non dominant males. He would be awesome as an only dog to soak up all the love and attention! He is a great lap dog and loves to cuddle! Schroeder's adoption fee is 350 dollars, and he is located in Greeley.
Lisa, 2 years, Female, Cattle Dog X, Dog & older kid friendly, $350, Severance
Lisa is a stout cattle dog mix who is shy, but has acclimated with the dogs in her foster home, and likes treats, and neck scratches. She loves playing with her BBCR “sister” almost as much as she loves rolling in the grass. She seems to be house trained and plays well with other dogs. She wants to play with the cats, but plays a little too rough and will chase them if they run. She will do best with someone who is home often, since she is not a fan of being alone. She's skittish, but warms up with patience. Due to her timid personality, she will do best in a home without young children. She is located in Severance and her adoption fee is $350,
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
Linus, 2 years, Male Basset Hound/Cattle Dog X, Good w/Dogs, Cats, & older kids, $350, Windsor
Linus is looking for a family with an open heart so that he can learn to open his. He is a sweet, calm boy that just needs some time to trust so that he can show off his fun-loving side. Linus is a 2 year old Basset Hound mix and would enjoy a home with another calm yet confident dog. We think he is suitable for a home with kids when given time to adjust to his new environment. Linus has a heart of gold and has a lot of love to give! He is currently in Windsor and his adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Sasha, 7 years, Female, Red Nosed Pitbull, Good w/Small Dogs, Cats & Older Kids, $350, Windsor
Sasha is a 7 yr old Red Nosed Pitbull looking for an easy going lifestyle. She is house trained, trustworthy to free roam, and is even cat friendly. Sasha is good with small dogs and would prefer a home with older kids and needs a 6' privacy fence. She is currently located in Windsor and her adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Bear, 2.5 years, Male, Border Collie, Good w/ Kids, $350, Windsor
