Our mission is to provide a temporary, safe, no-kill shelter for homeless, unwanted, and abandoned lost cats and dogs, ultimately placing them in loving homes or with caring rescues while increasing community awareness of the humane treatment of animals through education, spay-neuter programs, rabies clinics, and a respect for life.
Here at BCHS we do not do same day adoptions. Our adoption process typically takes 48 hours, and involves four stages: Meeting with a pet outside of their kennel or cage; Filling out an application for that pet; BCHS staff calls your references and our Kennel Director approves or denies the application; You have a second visit with that pet, typically on which you will do the adoption. As previously mentioned, we require all members of the household to meet with the pet before they may go home with their new family. All current pets must be up to date on their rabies vaccinations, and if you are looking to adopt a dog and currently have a dog, you’ll need to provide the vaccination certificate and do a dog introduction at the shelter.
