This year, Black Dog Animal Rescue (BDAR) celebrates five years of finding forever homes for hundreds of dogs all over Wyoming, and it all began with founder Britney Wallesch or, technically, Britney’s dog Kajsa. Kajsa was the “original black dog” adopted by Britney when she was just 10 months old. (She’s 13 years old now!) [...]
Hi, my name is Jenny, I am a Wyoming native who has filled her empty nest with furbabies & I’d like to tell you about my Black Dog experience! I have always been aware of the stigma surrounding both black dogs and black cats, and I’ve tried to adopt them whenever possible, starting over 25 [...]

But despite being just about as handsome as doggedly possible, Baxter’s still hanging out in foster care. It’s not been for lack of interest though! Six [...]
