My story

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

Like his animated namesake, Bartok is quirky, expressive, a little sassy, and totally unforgettable! This almost-8-year-old plushie-loving sweetheart is one of our longest stays, and his adoption fees are waived. 💙

With one floppy ear, one standing tall, and a striking electric-blue eye, he wears his life experience and unique look proudly. Equal parts goofy and affectionate, he truly loves meeting new people. Bartok can be strong on leash, especially when he spots someone he’s excited to greet, but his tail wags the whole time. Despite all that enthusiasm, he’s actually a pretty quiet guy. We’re told he didn’t bark once during his time in foster care.

As a soon-to-be-senior, Bartok is looking for a calm, understanding home where his space and belongings are respected and where his people are patient, observant, and kind. He enjoys playing with other dogs and has a charming sass that will make you smile every day. 💙

Bartok is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of his vaccinations. You can meet him at the SPCA between the hours of 12 and 6 PM daily, no appointment necessary.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We ask potential adopters to fill out a matchmaker form. When they are ready to adopt an animal and the form and interview process indicates a good match, we have the adopter sign an adoption contract promising that the animal will receive good physical and emotional care. Fees vary and we often have adoption specials. Fees for senior pets are sponsored. Otherwise, dogs are $100, puppies $150 and up, cats are $75, kittens are $95.
