About Us

The BCHS has been in operation for over 100 yrs and has been a no kill shelter since 2000, made possible with the committment of the board, staff, and community. Since this committment to life was established, we have saved the lives of over 2,000 animals each year. shelter_pic (16K)

Because we are a non-profit, non-tax supported facility, the BCHS is dependent upon private donations for survival. The staff and volunteers at the BCHS are deeply dedicated to caring for the animals who come through the shelter doors, and their love and caring help the shelter animals through their inital stages of fear, confusion, and loss. All the shelter animals have been through some difficult experiences. Losing their former home and ending up at the shelter is not an easy thing for any animal to go through. In addition to the bewilderment of finding themselves at our shelter, they often display signs that they are grieving for their former human companions. The routine at the shelter, while not the same as a loving home, helps the animals adjust to their new situation. But even with our very best efforts to create an environment where the shelter animals feel safe and not unhappy, being in a cage in a shelter is a difficult experience.

The BCHS, through its training and foster programs, helps the animals begin to understand what is expected of them in their interactions with people. Mostly what they need is your patience, understanding, and time to adjust to their new surroundings.

Help us to continue our mission in helping the neglected and abandoned animals by adopting a shelter dog or cat today!
