BHS Adoptables of the Week: Kensie & Sparkles


Kensie is approximately 5 months old, all white lab mix with one brown ear and beautiful blue eyes that will melt your heart. She is still a puppy so of course has lots of energy and loves to chew. Kensie is a happy and fun girl who loves to play with her toys! She does like to jump up and tell you how much she has missed you & give you kisses. She listens intently to you for instruction and responds promptly so feel she would learn rules fairly quickly. Just a sweet girl who would be so happy with a fenced yard to give her some room to run and play! Kensie is very unique and makes the most expressive faces. You can't help but smile and laugh when you're around her!! If you are interested in meeting Kensie, submit your completed adoption application (available on our website) to info@bhsva.org.



Sparkles is as dramatic & colorful as her name suggests. Her photos are very pretty, but she is just gorgeous. This super friendly spayed female calico just showed up on the doorstep of one of our foster homes on Christmas Eve like one of the best Christmas gifts ever. Typical Sparkles, she just strolled in & settled in on the couch. A happy little cat, she is very people-oriented. She would do fine with children & dogs & probably other cats. For more information, please contact Leslie at LMHANDVTM@msn.com.

BHS Adoptables of the Week: Maizey & Mufasa


You can just read her thoughts, "C'mon, see the toy? Can't you see the toy? C'mon, throw it & I'll show you my happy dance! C'mon, throw it!!" This is Maizey, a very smart 2 year old German Shepherd mix---so smart & athletic she was chosen to train for Contraband Detection School by the prison system. She did very well with her training, but got distracted & bored. To her, life is for playing, not working. She is crate trained, but also happy outdoors most of the time. She hasn't had much time living indoors to be sure she is housebroken, but she is a very quick learner. Email info@bhsva.org if you’re interested in meeting Maizey!



Sweet Mufasa is an outgoing light orange tabby with a lovely white bib. He is personality plus & loves to play with toys & play hide & seek under blankets. This love-muffin will run to greet you, talking the whole time & rolling over for a belly rub. Mufasa is approximately 2 years old, front declawed, neutered. He gets along with other cats & dogs. He would likely be very child friendly. Email info@bhsva.org if you are interested in meeting Mufasa!

BHS Desperate Housecats Episode 2

Episode 2: "Impressive"  In this week's episode, the residents learn about another new kid that just moved in. Speculations flie about how he received his injuries and Smokey tries to play Mr. Fix It...





We are continually getting cats and kittens dumped overnight at our Headquarters and we have no space left to keep them. Most that are dumped with us are already sick and leaving them with us puts the health and well-being of our current residents in danger. We do NOT have the resources to continue taking on additional cats/kittens at this time.

If you need help, contact us and we will do what we can to help...the right way. If you do not want kittens, PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER your cats. We offer low-cost spaying and neutering for ALL Bedford County/City residents. Call (540-586-6100) or email (info@bhsva.org) our office for details.

If you are interested in adopting any of our Desperate Housecats, email info@bhsva.org for an adoption application. If you are interested in fostering a Desperate Housecat, email sunshine@bhsva.org for a foster application.

BHS Adoptables of the Week: Tater & Kensie


She came to us from the pound as Tater, but she's such a small lab, we affectionately call her Tater-Tot.  Tater-Tot is the most warm-hearted, gentle, SO quiet, natural born "hunter".  She has a very sensitive tracking nose.  Barks a single bark only when she senses certain wildlife nearby, such as deer or rabbit. She doesn't bark at people, dogs, squirrels or birds.  She does great on leash walks, nose to the ground so I think she views the walks as "hunts" and loves being able to play outdoors.  She's plays great with dogs, very gentle and quiet at play. She's smart; she knows the usual simple commands and is eager to learn more.  Tater-Tot is housebroken and when it's time for the humans to go to bed, she's ready to sleep through the night as well.  If you are interested in meeting Tater-Tot, please email info@bhsva.org for an application.



Taffy is a healthy, spry little 12 year old female Min Pin/Chihuahua mix who came to us when her family could no longer care for her. She is pure sweetness and simply wants to be with her person. She gets along well with other animals, is housebroken, and loves to go for car rides and cuddle in her person’s lap. Still fairly active for her age, she also loves to go for walks and play tug of war. Taffy is hoping for a loving home where she can live out her senior years in the comfort she deserves. If you are interested in meeting Taffy, email info@bhsva.org for an application.
