My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Comet is an adorable puppy, calm and a real sweetheart. He is thought to be a Black Lab Mix. His estimated date of birth is May 18th, 2023. At 5 months, Comet weighs 26lbs; his adult weight is not known. It is most important to note that we do not know just how big Comet will become as an adult…his new family must be willing to accept him, no matter what his adult size!

Comet is very smart, a quick learner, very alert and playful, but overall pretty calm for a young boy!!

This cute pup joined BAARK from an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky earlier this year. When joining our rescue program, Comet appeared happy, calm & gentle, very friendly, and eager to move on to a better life!! He’s now ready to move along to a forever home of his own!

Comet is very sociable, playful, and is great with dogs. Most likely, a young or middle-aged adult dog would prefer his company more so than a senior dog.

An ideal family for Comet is one able to assimilate the enthusiasm and playfulness of a puppy into their lifestyle and is willing to commit the time to working with and training Comet to be his best self! A secure fenced yard is ideal as is another younger or middle-aged pup in the family.

Comet is crate-trained and is working on good house manners (housebreaking). He is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. His neuter is included in his adoption fee.

For information about adding this adorable boy to your family please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

BAARK is located in the NW suburbs of Chicago, and adopts only locally.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

Go meet their pets

B.A.A.R.K. schedules meet-and-greets with potential adopters at times mutually agreeable to both parties. These typically take place at the potential new home.
