My story

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

Meet Serrano, an 8-month-old, 25 lb. German Shepherd/Black Lab mix with a heart full of love and a playful sparkle in his eyes! This adorable boy was rescued at the very last moment from the Rockdale County Shelter, and he's been spreading joy ever since. Serrano is the perfect mix of sweet and cuddly -- he loves being close to his people and soaking up affection, but he's also full of fun, puppy energy. He enjoys running and playing in the backyard, especially with his doggy friends, and would thrive in a home where he can have a playful canine companion or an active family to keep him company. He's dog-friendly, people-loving, and would likely be great with kids. (He hasn't been tested with cats yet.) Serrano would love a family who enjoys taking him on daily walks and outdoor adventures, where he can explore the world and enjoy time by their side. This smart boy is a quick learner -- he's already crate and potty trained, though like any young pup, he may still have an occasional accident as he continues to learn. Serrano is very bright and eager to please, picking up new things every day! He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, and ready to find his forever family. With his loving heart, playful spirit, and loyal nature, Serrano will make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a dog to grow, learn, and share adventures with -- and of course, to snuggle with at the end of the day. For more information about this wonderful boy, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org. If you would like to adopt Serrano, please submit an application for him at https://www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications. BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for 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 his foster home.October 29, 2025, 2:32 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.
