💜 Meet Ruthie! 💜

Two-year-old Ruthie is hoping to find the right home to call her own. Shelter life has been hard on this sweet girl, and we would love nothing more than to see her find the loving, patient family she deserves.

We believe Ruthie would do best in a low traffic environment with someone who has experience with larger breeds and understands their unique needs.

Could you be Ruthie’s person? 🐾 She’s waiting for someone to walk through those shelter doors and give her the chance she deserves. If you think Ruthie could be the girl for you, don’t wait—come meet her today from 12–4! 🏡❤️

We would like to introduce Pete. He entered care at BCAS as a stray stallion. He has completed his hold period, been gelded and vaccinated and is now ready to find a pasture, and people of his own. If you have room in your life for one more, please reach out to the shelter for more information. Due to our limited information about Pete prior to his stay at the shelter, references may be required.
