Pet of the Week

There's no better way to start a new year than with a celebration story! Meet Dolly, a Yellow Lab and Welsh Corgi mix recently adopted from the BGWCHS. Dolly is an absolute sweetheart, but she often comes off as shy because she is easily scared by certain things. Dolly has soft, silky fur, and she loves to getting treats and being pet. She is very well-behaved, and she doesn't bark or snap. However, ...

He may not seem like it, but Jake is a lucky boy. Jake is a 5- or 6-year-old Pug/Beagle Mix from the Simpson County Humane Society, but he is also up for adoption at the BGWC Humane Society.

Winter is a harsh time to be outside, something that Roxy learned the hard way. Probably abandoned by her former owners, Roxy was left to wander the streets in the freezing February weather. Eventually, she found her way to a kind woman's porch, but by then she had become emaciated and covered in frostbite.
