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.
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.
Bear, 2.5 years, Male, Border Collie, Good w/ Kids, $350, Windsor
Bear is a 2.5 year old Border Collie true to his breed. He is smart, energetic, loves water, and he would love a large space to run in. Bear is suitable for a home with kids. He is located in Windsor and his adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Iris, 8 years, Female, Pitbull X, Good w/ Kids & Dog Selective, $350, Greeley
Got a couch you want to share? Maybe Iris is for you! An 8 year old Pitbull mix, who just wants to be loved and is happy to be a lap dog despite her size, once she trusts you. She would be a great hiking friend once she warms up! She has great manners (she always wonders why her friends are barking 😜). Good with kids and is dog selective. Iris is located in Greeley and her adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Cassie, 2 years, Female, Pitbull X, Good w/Kids & Dogs, $350, Windsor
Cassie is a BBCR volunteer favorite because she truly has a heart of gold. She recently came to CO with her 8 puppies, and this patient, loving Mama doted on each one. Now it's her turn to be pampered and cared for and she can't wait to share her love. Cassie is a 2 year old Pitbull mix that loves adults and kids, and she does well with dogs after a proper introduction. There won't be a shortage of love with this sweet girl! Cassie is currently located in Windsor and her adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Ralph, 5 years, Male, Border Collie/Bernese Mtn Dog X, Good w/Dogs & Older Kids, $350, Boulder
Ralph is a 5 year old Border Collie/Bernese Mountain dog mix. At first adopted to a family with young kiddos, we’ve learned that Ralph is better suited in a home with older and more predictable kiddos. He’s a super sweet boy who is house trained, loves to cuddle and go for walks but is very low maintenance in terms of exercise. Ralph is dog friendly and has no been cat tested. He is located in Boulder and his adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Alika, 3 years, Female, Shepherd X, Good w/Dogs, $350, Severance
Introducing Alika! We can’t say no to an expectant momma in the shelter, so very pregnant Alika gave birth shortly after arriving to Colorado. Her parenting days are behind her and she’s ready for her own happily forever after! A 3 year old shepherd mix, she’s an energetic, loving, and sweet dog. She loves to lay around with her family but also enjoys going on walks and playing with her foster siblings. She needs proper introductions to warm up to people and other dogs. She’s not been tested with cats. She’s house trained and knows basic commands. Alika’s ideal home would be patient enough to ease her out of her shell and into her new role as a family member! Alika is located in Severance and her adoption fee is 350 dollars.
Stitch, 2 years, Male, Husky X, Good w/Dogs (no kids), $350, Windsor
