Adoption Testimonials
-
"Adopting Simon (fka Simon "Sport" Rocque) has absolutely changed my life, and that is entirely thanks to Badass. Simon is the most gentle, empathetic, and intuitive dog I have ever met. He greets everyone with a heavy lean - his version of a hug - and leaves them a little bit happier than when he found them. My life is so much more vibrant with Simon in it, and I am forever grateful to Badass for rescuing my sweet boy."

"We honestly can't imagine life without our Penny (FKA Taffyta Muttonfudge). Our scared little lady from Selma, AL is now a confident diva living in Baltimore, MD. We love our little pile of fluff. Penny has boss lady attitude and definitely thinks she runs our household despite being the tiniest member (her younger brother outweighs her by about 50 lbs!) We are so grateful to Badass for finding her and saving her."
