Maggie is an adorable White Labrador Retriever estimated to be 4 years old. She’s a petite girl weighing just 35 lbs.
Maggie is a very affectionate girl and absolutely loves being with people. She is ok with dogs but can be a bit selective; she does not like dogs who are high-energy and in her face. Likewise, she does not enjoy the company of small children who insist on playing with her, pull her tail and ears, or tease her. Maggie would be fine with older children (i.e., teenagers) who have learned to respect dogs. Because she has a high prey drive, cats would not want to be around her.
An ideal home for Maggie offers a calm environment with plenty of time, attention, and affection to provide to her. Maggie would do fine as an only dog, but a calm, possibly older dog would make a great companion for her and vice versa. A secure, fenced yard would be ideal, so Maggie could enjoy running, exploring, and lounging in the sun.
Maggie is fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested and on year-round heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped.
If you are interested in meeting Maggie and possibly adding her to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895 to obtain an adoption application.
Note that BAARK is located in Barrington and adopts only local to the Chicago area.

1. Complete B.A.A.R.K.’s adoption application in its entirety. Prior to submitting an application for a particular pet, we encourage you to research the breed so that you understand the characteristics and needs of the animal.
2. After submitting the application, a B.A.A.R.K. adoption coordinator will contact you (assuming you are the primary caregiver to/adopter of the new pet) to review your application and conduct an initial phone interview.
3. A representative of B.A.A.R.K. will contact your references and verify the veterinary information that you have provided on the application for pets currently or previously owned. Please be sure you inform your references that you have provided their contact information to B.A.A.R.K. and that they will be contacted.
4. If, at any time during the adoption process, we conclude that the pet of interest is not a good match for your household, your application will be kept on file for one year. You will not be required to complete another application during that time period if you find another pet you are interested in adopting from B.A.A.R.K. Rescue.
5. After the initial phone interview, if B.A.A.R.K. has decided that the pet of interest to you may be a good fit for your household, a “meet & greet” will be arranged, either at the home of the foster family or at your home. If the first visit is preferred to take place at the foster home, a second visit will be arranged at your home.
6. B.A.A.R.K. will bring the pet of interest to your home for a meeting with ALL family members and ALL other pets within the household. The purpose of the home visit is to ensure that the pet you have chosen is appropriate for your living situation and lifestyle. Please note that ALL FAMILY MEMBERS AND ALL FAMILY PETS MUST BE PRESENT FOR THE IN-HOME INTERVIEW. More than one meeting may be required during the adoption process to ensure the best placement possible for the pet and the household.
7. When you have made the decision to adopt a pet from B.A.A.R.K. Rescue, we ask that you to spend 1-2 days thinking about the decision, in order to ensure that you are making the best choice for the pet and your family. A same day adoption is NEVER an option.
8. Once the decision is made to proceed with the adoption, an adoption contract must be reviewed, completed, and signed. B.A.A.R.K.’s adoption fee is non-refundable. You may also be asked to provide a separate check(s) of $150 as a fence deposit, obedience training deposit, and/or spay/neuter deposit. Check deposits will either be destroyed or returned upon completion of the required action.
