BHS Doesn't Just Help Animals

We also help people

One of our newest initiatives is visiting the Bedford Elks Home to bring some smiles to the residents. Few things are more therapeutic than cuddling with a happy dog, except maybe snuggling with a purring cat. 

These smiling faces say it all.

An extra special thank you to our Foster Coordinator, Pat Greier, for coordinating the wonderful new program! And thank you to our volunteers for taking time out of their day to bring these sweet furbabies out!

Bedford Tractor Supply Loves BHS Fosters!

And BHS Fosters Love Bedford Tractor Supply!

Bedford Tractor Supply has always treated us well, hosting regular adoption events for us and treating us like family. The staff and manager at BTS are wonderful, welcoming, and always friendly!

Their generosity extends even further with donations like this truckload of goodies!

We received 8-10 boxes of assorted doggie treats and rawhides from Bedford Tractor Supply this week!

The foster babies of BHS THANK YOU!

SunTrust Supports Local Animal Rescue

We love when local businesses step up to support our vision!

They've already collected some great supplies!

The $1079.05 we received as a result of this wonderful program is much-needed as we work to save companion animals in Bedford County.

Thank you to Petco for being such a wonderful supporter of local animal rescues and thank you to the Petco customers, associates, and vendors who give so generously and make this program possible!

Anastasha is Big and Beautiful (and Declawed)

Anastasha is big and beautiful and proud to be an All Star!

Anastasha is a sweet girl, but she does not seem to do well with other cats. She finds them uninteresting and sometimes annoying. And since she is declawed, she can do little to demonstrate her displeasure with them, so she prefers to just not be around them.

When her family could no longer keep her due to personal difficulties, they brought her to us and begged us to find their sweet baby a home. We're still looking for that forever home for Stasha, but we're sure she'll find it. She's too wonderful not to be someone's new best friend.

As a March Adoption Madness All Star, Anastasha is available at a reduced adoption fee of just $20 during the month of March!

Susie is Just One of Those REALLY Special Dogs

Some of them are just REALLY special, you know?

Susie is one of those. There's just something about her. Maybe it's those sweet, brown eyes. Maybe it's her resilience. Maybe it's the way she happened into our lives.

Susie came to us after her person was unexpectedly hospitalized and there was no one left to care for her. When we met her, she was kenneled outside, alone, in the middle of winter, with only occasional visits from a concerned neighbor.

Still, she never lost her beautiful love for people. Today, you would never know that she spent so much of her life kenneled outside. She is house trained and sleeps in a crate at night. She is good with the dogs, cats and horses at her foster home. She is a people dog and loves to have her belly rubbed. She also has very good manners with children.

As a March Adoption Madness All Star, Susie is available at a reduced adoption fee of just $50 during the month of March!

Andy is Looking For His All Star Home

Andy is looking for his All Star home

Andy and his siblings have been with BHS since they were kittens. They came to us as feisty little ferals and have blossomed into some of the sweetest, most loving cats we've known. 

In the past, Andy has been very cautious in new environments and around new people. He seems to be coming out of that, though, settling in much more quickly around new people.

Curious about the ear tip? Like his brother Albert, Andy was originally set to be a barn cat and was ear tipped at the time of his neutering. Since that plan fell through, Andy has become increasingly social and would now do best in as an indoor cat. He has grown quite accustomed to the comforts of indoor living.

Andy does well with other cats and he is especially fond of the big dog in his most recent foster home.

As a March Adoption Madness All Star, Andy is available at a reduced adoption fee of just $20 during the month of March!
