My story

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

HI, I'M RUPERT! I'M A SWEET BOY, WHO LOVES KIDS, OTHER DOGS, AND EVEN CATS! Meet Rupert, a handsome 3-year-old Pitbull/Staffordshire Terrier mix who is ready to find his forever home. Weighing about 58 pounds, Rupert has an irresistibly big, goofy head and the cutest polka-dot snout that makes him impossible not to smile at. Rupert's story makes him even more special. He was rescued at the very last moment from the Gwinnett County Shelter and we are so grateful we were able to save him--because Rupert truly deserves a wonderful life with a loving family of his own. This sweet boy is friendly and well-mannered. He gets along nicely with both dogs and cats and is respectful of other dogs' space. Rupert has a pleasant, medium energy level and enjoys playing ball, doing joyful zoomies, and going for relaxed walks on leash. Car rides are another favorite--he's always happy to come along. At home, Rupert is affectionate and gentle. He loves giving kisses and snuggling on the couch and once he bonds with you, he will love you wholeheartedly. He is crate trained, potty trained, knows his basic commands, and continues to learn new tricks every day. He's good on leash and truly a joy to be around--a really great boy in every sense. Rupert is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If you're interested in giving this sweet, loyal boy the life he deserves, please email info@barkvilledogrescue.org or submit an application at www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications. BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area. Applicants in surrounding states could potentially adopt a BarkVille dog if their application is approved, they live within 2-3 hours of the Greater Atlanta area, and they are able to pick up their dog from the foster home.

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.
