Thank you for letting us, your readers know about such an amazing and worthwhile organization that helps our veterans and doggies. I will definitely donate. As a GSD owner and owning a martial arts studio that offers discounts to veterans that train in our self defense programs and to hear about this amazing and giving-from-the-heart facility, makes me realize the world can be a good place.

Such a great place. I know many people - friends and acquaintances - who have adopted from BDRR and it’s grown so much over the years. Love to see it! 💕

Thank you for this post. Someone great (can't remember who) once said it beautifully: "Some angels chose fur instead of wings." Couldn't agree more. ✌️

Thank YOU so much, Lara. Doggos deserve love, care, and security. It's unfortunate we live in times when people are struggling financially and have to let go of their pets. I forgot (or didn't quite think about it) that may be a side effect of our current economy.

When times are tough for humans, times are even tougher for pets, unfortunately. 💕💕🐶
