Meet Reyes (A871018), a 9-month-old German Shepherd puppy with a heart as big as his journey. After being struck by a car, Reyes has been bravely recovering in a loving foster home, where he's shown just how sweet, resilient, and affectionate he can be.

Despite his initial shyness, Reyes is blossoming into a wonderful companion. He adores being close to his people, and he's even made friends with children, showing his gentle nature by accepting pets and sharing treats.

This special pup is looking for a patient, loving family to help him continue building confidence and discover the joy of a forever home. His adoption fee is waived, making it even easier to give this sweet boy the second chance he so deserves.

✨ Meet Nala! ✨ ID: A861436 | 5-Year-Old German Shepherd | 67 Pounds of Brains, Beauty, and Fun!

Don’t let her premature gray fool you—Nala is a playful, vibrant girl who’s living her best life! Her foster parents say she’s in her prime: two walks a day, yard playtime, and hours of amusement with her favorite toy, the herding ball. 🎾 She’s also a pro at lounging, content to relax indoors or on the patio when she’s done having fun.

🌟 Why Nala’s Special:

Fully housebroken ✅
Loves toys, fetch, and outdoor fun 🌳
Smart and a quick learner—already mastering “heel” on walks 🐾
Great solo or with the right doggy sibling 🐕
No signs of separation anxiety—she’s cool with being left alone for a bit

🚨 What She’s Working On:
Nala is leash-reactive to other dogs but is making great strides with focused training. She needs a patient adopter ready to help her continue learning.

Her adoption fee is waived, and she’s ready to bring loyalty, smarts, and endless joy to your home. ❤️

📩 Nala is in foster care! Email [email protected] for more info.

We were lucky to meet Honor and Paige, two young animal lovers with huge hearts! These amazing kids spent over two hours squeezing fresh oranges and lemons from their own trees to make lemonade and orange juice. They sold their drinks at a stand and used the proceeds to buy toys and food for our shelter cats and dogs. 🐾🍋🍊

Honor and Paige, your kindness and hard work are inspiring! Thank you for supporting our furry friends and for showing that small acts of love can make a big difference. ❤️🐶🐱

This 6-year-old neutered male Siberian Husky and German Shepherd mix is as unique as his namesake. 🐾 Chris has been on an inspiring journey, transforming from a shy and uncertain pup into a dog who’s learning to trust and embrace the world around him.

✨ Why Chris is a Star:

🐶Friendly with Dogs: Chris is a social butterfly with other pups and is often the "doggy greeter" for new arrivals at the shelter! 🐕
✅House-Trained Pro: In foster care, he mastered the dog door, crate time, and house manners.
👟Gentle Walker: Once he gets going, Chris walks nicely on a leash, making him a great companion for strolls.
🍬Sweet Soul: Though still learning to enjoy physical affection, Chris loves laying by your feet while you work, offering quiet companionship.

Chris thrives in a calm environment where he can feel safe and loved. A quieter home with someone patient, perhaps someone who works from home, would be his dream come true. Having a confident canine buddy would also help him build trust and confidence. 🏡

💖 Chris’s adoption fee is waived, so now is the perfect time to meet this sweet boy!

Stop by 3839 Bradshaw Rd to meet Chris today and bring your dog for a meet-and-greet. Let’s show Chris that not all humans are scary and that his forever family is waiting just for him. 🐾❤️

Yesterday, thanks to TEAM Bradshaw, the incredible teamwork of our Bradshaw Animal Shelter staff, volunteers, and the amazing team at Auburn Spay and Neuter, 50 cats received their spay and neuter surgeries! 🐾

This effort started bright and early at 5 a.m., with three dedicated staff members preparing and loading the cats, followed by two wonderful volunteers driving them to their appointments. Later that afternoon, two more volunteers safely brought them back home. This operation took over a week of preparation, and we couldn’t have done it without the collaboration of our team and the expertise and care provided by Auburn Spay and Neuter. 💕

Spaying and neutering is a critical step in reducing pet overpopulation and decreasing the number of animals in shelters. It also provides significant health benefits, such as reducing the risk of certain cancers and infections, while promoting better behavior in pets. By addressing the root cause of overpopulation, we can ensure a healthier and more compassionate future for animals in our community.

✨ Help us continue this lifesaving work! Consider donating to T E A M Bradshaw to support more spay and neuter efforts for animals in need.

Once upon a time, a sweet girl named Nixie found herself in a big, unfamiliar world. At just over a year old, this beautiful German Shepherd mix had so much love to give but wasn’t sure how to show it. The shelter environment felt scary, and she found herself barking at strangers and other dogs, unsure of who to trust.

But behind her cautious barks lies a heart of gold. Nixie dreams of finding someone who sees past her uncertainty—a hero who will guide her, teach her, and show her the love and confidence she needs to shine.

At a perfect medium size (just 40 pounds!), Nixie is waiting at Bradshaw Animal Shelter for her fairytale ending. Could you be the one to rewrite her story?

🌟 Foster Spotlight: Changing Lives, One Tail at a Time 🌟

Our foster program is brimming with incredible pets who are ready to find their forever homes! 🏡❤️ These animals have overcome challenges, shown resilience, and blossomed into loving companions thanks to the care and dedication of our foster families.

🐾 Kola (A824901) & Kricket (A824902): This bonded duo has been through thick and thin together. After losing their beloved owner, these seniors are looking for a loving home to spend their golden years. Kola (13) is a playful, gentle giant, and Kricket (11) has a calm and loving demeanor. Their bond is unbreakable, and their love is endless.

🐾 Sugar (A826105): A sweet and snuggly 3-year-old foodie who’s all about cuddles, squeaky toys, and walks. Sugar is house-trained and crate-trained but prefers to nap on her human's lap. She’s a total lovebug waiting to bring joy to her new home!

🐾 Duke (A821503): Our lovable Great Dane mix, diagnosed with megaesophagus, is thriving in foster care. Despite his condition, Duke is a gentle giant full of love, leaning hugs, and playful energy. He’s a reminder that every dog deserves a chance, no matter the challenges.

🐾 Reyes (A832507): At just 8 months old, this shy German Shepherd pup is recovering from a car accident. He’s a brave little guy with a bright future ahead, and he’s ready to meet a family who will love him as much as we do.

🐾 Nala (A815702): A sweet, prematurely gray German Shepherd who loves herding balls and fetch. She’s smart, independent, and equally ready to be the center of attention or share her life with another dog.

Our fosters are living proof that second chances transform lives. ❤️ Whether you’re ready to adopt, volunteer, or simply spread the word, you’re helping us create happy endings for these amazing animals.
