Blue Ridge Canine Safehouse BRCSafehouse is a female veteran owned kennel that caters exclusively to rescue dogs Blue Ridge Canine Safehouse is a veteran-owned, woman's small business.

My kennel serves the rescue and shelter communities in many ways. I offer restorative boarding (short and longterm) and training. I specialize in behavioral modification, emotional rehabilitation and long-term boarding for rescue dogs. We use science-based, fear-free techniques and believe that changes happen in the mind and the heart of the dog, rather than in the mere outward behavior.

Hi friends! Would anyone like to help us out by covering the cost of any items from our cart full of supplies we recently got? Our friend, Celeste, graciously covered the holiday meal for everyone! And while we were at Costco we had to get the cleaning supplies for the month also. The cost of each item is in the pics below. We got one of each item except for dog jerky treats and Tide laundry soap, of which we got 2 each. Speaking of Tide - we wish Costco would continue to carry the giant white plastic tubs of Kirkland brand powdered laundry soap. If anyone has pull at Costco, let them know their customers want it back!
Thank you all for supporting us - we really can’t do this alone. Our sanctuary dogs are so grateful!

PUPDATE!

One full year after Beverly’s rescue, she is living the life she truly deserves. Beverly has a home with 2 doggy siblings, she helps out at her mom’s human daycare, and she even had a personalized Christmas stocking! This is what we want for EVERY single dog who comes through our doors.

The last two photos are pics of Beverly right after she was rescued with her 10 pups. We currently have one of her puppies who still needs a home. She is now a year old after being returned several times. Message if interested.

Hope you all had a happy holiday! Now to get some of these dogs into homes like the one Beverly landed ❤️

Kristina just described our motley herd as such, and it could not be more accurate:

“Vic is a guardian dragon. The way it feels when you see a dragon in the sky when you play legend of Zelda, is the same as when you see Vic in the field. Jonathan is an ancient, all knowing mythical creature who can tell you your destiny if you offer him a bowl a fruit. Faye is a goat.”

To be fair, Faye is my Spirit Animal. She will go to great lengths to obtain cookies. 🍪

Hello-I'm looking to be a house hound! My hunting days are over and I'd love a soft place to land. I'm good with other dogs and truly heart my pal Patch (she's on her if you want to adopt us both!). I'm happy to learn about living indoors and snuggling on the couch.

Turbo is 14y young, 65 lbs, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on 4DX SNAP heartworm testing, DHLPP, Bordetella, and rabies and parasite control.

Ok friends - remember last week when we posted that mice got into our cottage HVAC? Well the damages were $304.00. If anyone has some extra money this month, we could sure use some help paying for this. We have been drowning in cold-weather related bills and repairs over the past couple of months. If you’d like to pay the HVAC company directly, I’ve posted the invoice. Otherwise I will post some payment options in the comments. As usual… we are SO grateful for all the help our friends and supporters give to us. There is no way we could care for all the sanctuary residents without your help. ❤️🙏
