BarkaBull's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Once you have found a dog that you would like to add to your family, we have you fill out an adoption application and sign an adoption contract.
Our fees vary depending on the age of the dog and the amount of time they have been in our rescue.
All adoption fees include the pet being spayed or neutered, UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed and a vet check.
If the pet has not been fixed prior to adoption, there is a Colorado State required deposit that will be returned to you once the pet has been fixed.
Please be patient with responses as all of our workers are volunteers. We try to return phone calls and e-mails within 24 hours but it may take a bit longer.

About BarkaBull
We are a handful of ladies who love dogs. Separately, we have all been rescuing and rehoming dogs in need for years. All of us have shared the dream of having our own rescue organization. At our first meeting in early 2017, we discussed our personal goals and what we hope to achieve together. Meredith shared her knowledge from working with other local rescues, assisting at Westside Animal Hospital and currently being Dr. Brubaker's "right hand man". With Meredith's wealth of knowledge in how to run a rescue organization and everyone's mutual desire to save dogs, we knew we were on the road to making our goals happen.
Shortly after that Meredith Trout created Barkabull, we opened a Facebook page (along with BarkaBull's Foster Network page) and we were off. With passion, drive and more than plenty of dogs in need of homes, we have been busy! Each Saturday, we hold an adoption event at The Burrowing Owl (a vegan dive bar), from 2-5pm. Our dogs come from owner surrenders and we also travel to high kill shelters from California, Kansas, New Mexico & most recently Texas. Many of these shelters have very little foot traffic and they are most always at 100% capacity. We do not have a kennel so our small group of foster volunteers is the only reason we can save lives. Each week we get at least 3 requests from owners looking to rehome their adult dogs. With 60 years combined dog experience, we first try to help them keep their dogs. If that doesn't work, we will happily feature them on our pages and get them neutered/spayed, UTD on vaccines and place them when their perfect home is found.
Together, with community help, we believe we are making a positive impact in our world. What more can you ask for in life?

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
