Meet Sally, our most recent medical case

There is so much cruelty and hurt in the world today on so many different levels. One thing to remember though is, for every person doing harm there is an army of people doing good. Each day we see the worst in people. We see their ugliness. We see their evilness. What we also see is their compassion. We see their kindness. We see their desire to change the world they live in. Click here to learn about our very own Sally, the sweet and courageous pit bull, and the army of people behind her doing good!

Dogs of the week!

Baby, 2-3 year old, female, Shepherd mix, Windsor, $350, dog-friendly but best as only dog
Sweet, smiling, Baby! This beautiful girl plays well with other dogs but she can get protective of her humans inside the home. Due to this, she’s best served as an only dog or in a home equipped to handle resource guarding. She has also completed a Good Dog Basics training program so she comes with some basic training skills!
Lucy, 5 year old, female, Dogue de Bordeaux, Windsor, $350, dog-friendly, kid-friendly
I love Lucy! Lucy is a 5 year old, female, Dogue de Bordeaux. Lucy’s story is one of survival. She was found severely emaciated wandering the streets with Ricky (who we believe is her son). Lucy has come a long way since being rescued and she looks so amazing and healthy now. She’s spayed, got a dental, and is current on her vaccines. Lucy is looking for a home! She’s good with most dogs but best suited with a male.
Mickey, 3 year old, male, Cane Corso, Windsor, $400, dog-friendly, older kid-friendly
Mickey is a bit of a goof ball that’s learning more and more each day. He hasn't spent much time in a home so he would love to find a home with someone who will be patient with him and can initially spend some time with him to help in his adjustment. He’s quite playful and relatively outgoing for his breed. He is dog-friendly but would do best with a confident female dog. He has a heart of gold and will be your most loyal companion. He misses his people when they're gone so he will need a strong crate that he cannot escape from. He would do best in a home with older kids or no kids.
Athena, 4 year old, female, Great Dane, Windsor, $350, male dog-friendly
Athena is a beautiful, black, beauty looking for a patient forever home. She was recently surrendered by her family and she’s pretty confused. She’s a bit shy at first, but warms up beautifully, and does well with other dogs after a proper introduction.
Betty, 3-4 year old, female, American Bully, Windsor, $350, kid-friendly, crate-trained, house-trained
Betty is a 3-4 year old, female, American Bully mix. She’s a pocket sized girl that is both house and crate trained! This spunky girl is so sweet with adults and kiddos and enjoys playing with other dogs from time to time. Betty wants to be the only Canine Queen in her forever home.
Penny, 4 year old, female, Mixed Breed, Castle Rock, $350, dog-friendly, kid-friendly
Penny sure does have something to smile about! This sweet girl was sprung from doggie jail almost a year ago by another rescue in Texas. There she got spayed and grew her beautiful coat back in from a bad case of Demodex and then got her ticket to Colorado when we agreed to bring her into BBCR for a second chance at a forever home! Penny is medium sized, timid and sweet, dog and kid friendly, and well mannered in a home. Penny is missing most of her front teeth and her canines have been cut or worn down - we aren’t sure. She very likely could have been a bait dog, but it’s hard to tell what’s a scar and what’s from her Demodex. If you’d like to show Penny all Colorado has to offer, please apply!
Gampur, 2 year old, female, Armenian Gampr, Fort Collins, $400
Gampur has really opened up during her time with BBCR and has become such a fun loving, happy, playful, girl. Gampur is best suited in a home with guardian breed experience, She would love a playful, male dog to be her buddy and will require a 6' privacy fence. She will be a loyal companion for a lucky family!
Lucas, 3 year old, male, Great Dane, Fort Collins, $400, dog-friendly, kid-friendly
Dane lovers!!! Lucas is a 3 year old, male, fawnequin and man is he gorgeous! He’s on the smaller side for a dane, but what he lacks in size he makes up for in personality! Lucas is dog-friendly and does well with kiddos. He won’t last long so get your applications in!
Calvin, 2-3 year old, male, Aussie/Saint mix, Penny, 2 year old, female, Shepherd Johnstown, $400, dog-friendly, kid-friendly
Calvin is a 2-3 year old, male, Aussie/Saint mix. Penny is a 2 year old, female, Shepherd. These two are loyal, kid friendly, and good with most dog friends. They’re house trained, crate trained, and love to spend time with their human. They’d love to be the center of someone’s universe but would share their home with another dog.
