My story

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

Ranger is a very personable confident guy! And, a joy to be around. Sadly he found himself homeless when his family moved and left him and other dogs and cats behind.

In spite of his being abandoned, we are glad that Ranger is a very adaptable little fellow, and incorporated himself into his foster family as if he was a long lost friend! Ranger has proven to be great with all dogs, male and female, in his foster home. We are told he has lived with cats previously but because his foster does not have cats, we have not seen this ourselves.

Ranger is believed to be a Beagle – Black Lab Mix, about 7 years old, and estimated at 32 lbs.

Among Ranger’s favorite activities are napping, hanging out with his dog friends, walking around the secure fenced yard at his foster home, and occasionally playing with toys. An ideal family for Ranger is one who will allow him to enjoy his favorite activities….and would definitely nclude another canine friend or two…he just LOVES other dogs!

We expect Ranger to be ok with children over the age of 6 years, but he enjoys being in an all-adult home too…as long as he gets the attention he deserves.

Ranger is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative and on year-round prevention, neutered and microchipped. In his foster home, Ranger has shown himself to be housebroken. It is important to note for any dog….he/she should not be forced to “hold it” for more than 6 hours at any time.

If you might want to add this sweet boy to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895 for more information or to request an application.

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.
