I don't know whats more beautiful lately, the weather or miss Skylar!
Skylar, aka Sky, is the sweetest, most loveable little girl! She is 2 years old and has so much spunk. She is truly one's best friend. She loves adventures and being your sidekick. Skylar loves food and is very treat motivated, and she also learns fast!
Sky is currently in a foster home where she enjoys playing with her toys and going on walks. She is very wiggly and will even give little piggy snorts when she's happy. Her favorite toys are balls which she loves to chase and chew on. Sky is house trained and crate trained. She knows sit is doing well learning her leash skills. She would benefit from an adopter who would be dedicated to her training so she can be her best self! She is unbothered by other dogs on walks and is eager to explore the trails. In the yard she has great recall, and will come to you immediately. Skylar is very athletic and is an agility champion in the making. She is very sweet and cuddly, and has a gorgeous tiger brindled coat.
Skylar requests to meet any doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match. She does best with a respectful friend.
Sky would love an active family able to spend time with her outside. Please email dogfosters@barcs.org for the next steps to meet her!

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website. Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. Check www.barcs.org for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.
Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal.
Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match!
Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records.
What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.

More about this shelter
BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
