Why are so many bully breeds brought to the shelter? Why do they stay here so long? Is getting a bully breed a status symbol? Does the novelty wear off? Did they have several litters?

Please visit the shelter today and let us introduce you to some bullies in need of a miracle.

Colorado Valley Quilt Guild hosted the Zen Quilter, Carrie Wikander, from Fredericksburg. Carrie’s inspiration comes from everything she sees around her. Her trunk showed each fabulous idea she had in constructing a quilt which came through in her “upbeat, funky art with a modern flair” style. She has two quilts in the Upcoming International Quilt Show in November. Carrie’s “Graffiti” quilt is one of them.
