Just one look at this smile and it’s hard not to fall for Beckham! 🤎

Beckham is a 1 year old mixed breed who came to us as a stray from Culver. We’re still getting to know him, but so far he’s been nothing short of wonderful. He recently spent some time in a foster home and did great with a female dog. His foster also shared that he absolutely loves people and wants to be part of whatever you’re doing.

Like most young dogs, Beckham could use a little help with potty training and learning the ropes of home life. He was curious about the foster home’s cats so will need patience and proper introduction, but overall just seemed playful.

Even though Beckham is fairly new to the shelter, he’s already proved to be a wonderful dog with so much love to give a family. You can meet him anytime Tuesday - Saturday 10am through 5:30pm at BrightSide!

🐾 Happy Caturday! 🐾

Meet Lala and Winky! These two adorable kittens came to us with severe upper respiratory infections that had gone untreated. As soon as they arrived, we got them started on medication and into a loving foster home where they could get all the care they needed.

They have come such a long way! You may notice a little cloudiness in their eyes, but that’s simply leftover corneal scarring that can take time to fully clear up. It doesn’t slow them down one bit. They are playful, sweet, curious kittens who are ready to find families of their own.

If you have been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, come meet Lala, Winky, and all of our wonderful adoptable pets. We’re open today until 5:30 PM!

Update: You all have really shown up for Rooster, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude for how many people came in to meet him! At this time, he has a medical foster but will still be on the hunt for his forever home when fully healed!

Rooster, our big goofy mascot, is undergoing a leg amputation and urgently needs a foster home lined up by June 4th.

This boy has stolen the hearts of everyone here at BrightSide and in our community. Since arriving, Rooster has been the face greeting guests at our gala, the therapy dog at our flash tattoo event, and our good luck charm at bingo this past Sunday. Everywhere he goes he’s a perfect gentleman, and people can’t help but to fall in love with him!

Rooster is the definition of a gentle giant. He’s done wonderfully with other dogs both big and small, absolutely adores his people, and is truly just the biggest baby. He’s easygoing, affectionate, and seems to really love kids too. Rooster was brought in as a livestock case so just no farm animals for this guy.

Rooster will really need a calm, comfortable place to recover after surgery. A home where someone can help make sure he’s taking his medications, healing properly, and getting all the rest. But don’t stress, we will handle all medical checks and support you every step of the way!

A shelter is simply no place for Rooster to recover from something this major. If you have ever been a medical foster or have even considered fostering, Rooster needs you! And if fostering turns into forever? We know Rooster certainly wouldn’t mind…

Stop by BrightSide to meet him or get a head start by signing up to foster at:

If you’re unable to foster but would still like to help Rooster, donations toward the cost of his surgery and recovery are deeply appreciated.

Miss Smudge is currently living it up in foster while she waits for her forever home, and her foster family absolutely adores her! This girl is the total package! Here’s just a few of the wonderful things that they shared about Smudge:

“Smudge is 100% snuggle bug! She loves hard and wants to be with her people (and furry friends) as much as possible. She is one of the sweetest fosters we’ve ever had but is also smart as can be. She has picked up training and commands in a matter of days and learned lightning fast from watching the behaviors and routines of our big dog.

Smudge is very curious but respectful of cats. Smudge is also all-puppy, with a young playful soul and definitely enjoys all of the toys, fetch, chase, balls, hot laps, wrestling, and naps in your arms in between.”

If you have been looking for a best friend that will keep you laughing, keep you company, and love you with her whole heart… Miss Smudge might just be the one! Reach out to us at 541-923-0882 to get a meet and greet all set up with this sweet girl!
