We are looking for more fosters!

Foster homes provide love, care, and socialization for our animals. Fosters can help our animals by opening their homes and providing a more relaxing situation that’s lowers their stress levels and increases their adoptability. BFHS is always in need of more foster homes. Even if you are only able to foster for a weekend our longer term residents would love some time away from the shelter!

Foster requirements vary depending on the need of the animal.

For more information email [email protected].

Its been over a week since we had our Fast and Furriest event! We think it was a Howling Success!! Thank you to everyone who came and participated. We saw so many cute faces and even cuter costumes!

A huge thank you to our sponsors:
Hercules and Sable
Inland Empire Drywall Supply
Elijah Family Homes
Atomic Screenprinting
Boomer and Butters Breitenstein

Thank you Pet Medical Center of Pasco for partnering with us and doing some amazing paw print paintings, and to our vendors from TCAS and Dserve Shotz for supporting our event.

We could not have had a successful event without the help of our amazing volunteers!

Yesterday BFHS assisted an overwhelmed pet owner with surrendering their 30 small dogs.

Our team worked hard into the evening examining each dog and helping them settle into their new environment. While a few are socialized, many of the dogs are nervous and will require a lot of love and patience to help them feel safe.

This will be an ongoing surrender process over the next few weeks. Each dog will be examined, vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas, and spayed/neutered before going to their forever homes.

It is because of the generosity of our community that we are able to help in situations like this and ease the burden of caregivers who have become overwhelmed with caring for their pets. If you would like to donate to support BFHS with their continued care, please visit https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E231168&id=1

Meet Lani.

Lani is a senior dog who was brought into us by a Good Samaritan. She is 17 years old according to her microchip. We have been unable to reach the owner so we are hoping someone knows the owner and will let them know that she is safe at BFHS and ready to be picked up.

Please visit our shelter Tuesday-Sunday 11:00am-4:00pm to redeem. Proof of ownership is required.
