My story

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

Meet Willy! Willy is a handsome 60 lb hound and retriever mix with the gentlest soul. This sweet boy came to us unsure of the big world around him, but with love and attention, he's blossoming into the wonderful dog. It's such a joy to see his tail wag and his big smile shine. Willy is friendly, gentle, and walks beautifully on the leash. He knows some basic commands like sit, takes directions very well, and is so curious about the world around him. One of his favorite things is playing fetch--he absolutely loves chasing balls and could happily do it all day! With his medium energy level, he's the perfect companion for family walks around the neighborhood, backyard playtime, or even weekend hikes. He's good with other dogs, enjoys kids, and would make an amazing family dog. A home with a yard where Willy can run and play would make him extra happy, but most of all, he just wants to be loved. He's smart, eager to please, and ready to keep learning new things with his forever family. Willy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, house-trained, and crate-trained. He's looking for a family who will give him the love, patience, and adventures he deserves. In return, he'll give you a lifetime of loyalty, sweetness, and joy. If you're ready to welcome this precious boy into your heart, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org or submit an application at ww.barkvilledogrescue.org/adopt. BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA, and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area. Applicants in surrounding states may also be eligible if they live within 2-3 hours of Atlanta and can pick up their dog from the foster home.September 24, 2025, 7:24 am

Additional adoption info

The dogs that we have available for adoption have come from shelters where they were found stray or were given up by their owners. These dogs have been let down by humans in the past and may be suffering from physical ailments or abuse. So, by the time these dogs come into our rescue group they have been thru a lot and need a home that can provide them with structure, guidance, love, patience and time to adjust to their new surroundings. Please understand that as dogs transition from shelter to foster home to forever home there can be set backs along the way and they will need your help to adjust.

All dogs that are adopted from BarkVille are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and provided with all necessary veterinary care. However, owning a pet can be expensive and you must be prepared to provide quality food, monthly heartworm medication, monthly flea and tick medication, yearly shots and routine checkups. In addition, you must prepare for accidents and illnesses that may require expensive treatment or surgeries. Many times our dogs have ended up in shelters because their previous owners were not prepared for these expenses and we want to ensure this never happens to them again.

We strive to know and understand each of our dogs so that we can work to find the best match for each dog and adopter.

Our adoption process includes an adoption application, adoption interview, meet and greet, veterinary reference check, personal reference check and home visit prior to making the adoption final. We reserve the right to deny any application that we feel is not a good fit for any of our dogs for any reason. If you are ready to make a commitment to one of our dogs please complete the adoption application and submit for review. The adoption fees vary based on the age of the animal: Age 7 and up is $300, Between age 7 to 1 year is $350. Puppies under the age of 1 year is $400.

More about this rescue

BarkVille Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer non-profit. We envision a world where all dogs reside in responsible, loving homes.

Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment. The dogs are then placed in foster homes while they await placement into their permanent home.

Our goal is to help dogs without regard to age, breed, size, or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs in the greatest need take priority.
