We will speak plainly: its bleak out there, folks. More than half of the giant breed rescues nationwide have folded under the weight of an unstable economy and an unrelenting need. Although The Bullpen has stood as a beacon on the hill while others fell away, we can not endure forever without the fortification of your support.
Here we are- eleven years, six studios, and 31 villas later- and it still isn’t enough. At a time when more dogs than ever need sanctuary, we are forced to accept that we may not even be able to fulfill the promise we made the day we opened our doors all those years ago. And that, quite frankly, is just not acceptable.
We no longer have the luxury of asking nicely. We can't let anyone off the hook this time. Every one of us must choose, today, whether we will make an excuse or we will make a way. We are all responsible for what happens next.
the time is now. if you do nothing, many dogs will die. open your hearts and homes by fostering or adopting, or open your wallets and give the gift of life with sponsorship.

the rainbow bridge
My love, it was a great honor to live with you. Thank you for every moment that you were mine.
Although Elvis was never an official resident of The Bullpen, as the personal dog of our Executive Director, he was there every step of the way. This wonderful boy passed on June 30, 2015 at the age of 11 after bringing many years of love and light into the lives of the people he met.
Our big, beautiful boy Barkley crossed the Rainbow Bridge on July 3, 2015. Although his passing leaves us with very heavy hearts, he also leaves behind a legacy of happy memories and moments. Our time with you was truly a joy, Barkles Sparkles, and we can not wait to see you again.
Max came to the Bullpen at the ripe old age of 11, after being found in the woods suffering from severe malnutrition and frostbite/exposure. He spent his last six weeks enjoying the sunshine, eating lots of delicious food, and sleeping on a warm, soft bed. When it was his time, he died with dignity and honor and more love than he had likely ever known. Although his passing leaves us with an immense sadness, we feel extraordinarily privileged to have had the opportunity to know this sweet boy.
