Local Shelters Name Rescued Dogs After Broncos Star Bo Nix

Local shelters are celebrating a unique connection to the sports community by naming rescued dogs after Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. As excitement builds for an upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills at Empower Field at Mile High, fans are also discovering heartwarming stories involving pets named in honor of their favorite players.

Local Shelters Rescue Dogs Named After Bo Nix

Two shelters, the Front Range German Shepherd Rescue (FRGSR) and Colorado Puppy Rescue, have fostered dogs named Bo. Maria Chavez, the foster coordinator at FRGSR, shared that their Bo Nix was found as a stray in Texas. This special pup was rescued by devoted volunteers who contacted the organization for help.

Chavez, a Denver native, expressed pride in having a dog named after such a talented player. “He’s done so well, and I think it’s going to be amazing to see him as he progresses,” she stated, indicating the bond between the team’s success and the joy it brings to local fans and residents.

Meanwhile, Colorado Puppy Rescue has also welcomed a pitbull mix named Bo, rescued in August. Bailey Wendell, the intake coordinator, highlighted the fresh start these dogs represent. “You go into each game each season with a fresh start,” she explained, emphasizing the significance of the name in relation to the team’s performances.

Connecting Sports and Pets

Puppy names inspired by sports personalities have long been a tradition for local shelters. Chavez noted that dogs have been named after several Broncos stars, including Von Miller and Demaryius Thomas. This playful approach helps foster a connection between fans and their new pets.

• FRGSR’s Bo Nix: Found as a stray in Texas.
• Colorado Puppy Rescue’s Bo: Adoptable pitbull mix, rescued in August.

Adoption Tips and Events

For those interested in adopting, Wendell recommends the “333 rule”: three days for decompression, three weeks for training, and three months to adjust. Both shelters host in-person adoption events, providing opportunities for potential pet owners to meet their future companions.

Currently, FRGSR’s Bo Nix has been adopted, while Colorado Puppy Rescue’s Bo is still looking for a forever home. With such inspiring stories, the love for the Broncos continues to flourish within the community, extending even to rescued animals.
