Friendly and helpful staff. The kittens are all so cute and healthy. It smells as you might expect. Even still a fun outing.

One star off because they never seem to answer their phone. For those of you seeking information on donating items after your pet has passed, BFHS takes all cat/dog food, even if it's special diet or the food has been previously opened. They also take any medications, even if they have been opened and/or expired.

They took amazing care of our Kit. Samantha, who worked with us throughout the entire process, was beyond kind and understanding. We owe everything to BFHS. Thank you so much. If you can, please consider donating! It is a wonderful shelter.
