  • Miss us?  BFHS.com was not accessible to viewers outside of One World Telecommunications for several days due to an expired Domain Name Registration. The registrar, Network Solutions, failed to update their records and sent the notice to a former BFHS employee.  OWT, who provides BFHS with Internet access, will take over the registration.  We apologize for the confusion and inconvenience.
  • PAWS in the Park is Coming!
    Our annual Summer/Fall event is coming on September 13.  Click the link above for more information.  Free Pet Dental Exam and Spay/Neuter to be RAFFLED!
    Support PAWS by signing up to help, to be a sponsor, or download the application and make a pledge to walk your dog for a good cause.
  • WWW.BFHS.COM has a new look.  After over ten years with an outdated web design tool, the new website has a cleaner look, better navigation (reach almost any page from any other page), and is compatible with almost any web browser.
  • BFHS has run out of room. Actually, we have been very short on space for years. It is time to build a new shelter to take care of the burgeoning population of animals needing a place to call a temporary home. We need more room for other animal welfare activities as well, such as Spay-Neuter, obedience training, meet & greet, and so on. Look for more news of our campaign to raise funds for a new Humane Society shelter.
  • Please welcome Kelly Walker as our new Adoptions Manager. Kelly has returned to BFHS after a 1-1/2-year absence.
