Meet Radar 7 — a joyful, high-energy lovebug with big puppy vibes and an even bigger heart. Radar is a cheerful, affectionate, people-loving boy whose personality truly shines in a foster home. Outside of the shelter, he is calmer, sweeter, and deeply cuddly — the kind of dog who wants to be close to his person at all times. Whether he’s laying right next to you, following you from room to room, or curling up for a snuggle, Radar thrives on human connection. He has a fun “0 to 100 and back to 0” energy style: bursts of excitement followed by total relaxation.
Radar is very much house-trained and does best with a consistent routine, which he currently has in foster. He is excellent in his crate and genuinely enjoys it — often choosing to go inside on his own when he’s tired or wants a break. When left alone, he settles easily and snoozes peacefully, showing no signs of stress or anxiety.
Radar’s energy level is high overall, and he loves staying active. He goes on multiple walks each day and recently enjoyed hiking at a nearby park. On leash, he’s made noticeable improvements and continues to get more comfortable walking with a handler. He is enthusiastic and curious, with a strong interest in squirrels and other exciting sights. He can pull due to excitement, especially when he wants to greet others, but a harness helps significantly. He’s very food-motivated and eager to learn, making him a great candidate for continued leash training.
Radar absolutely adores people — truly everyone. He greets strangers with full-body enthusiasm, tail wagging hard and excitement turned all the way up, even for delivery drivers. Because of this, he can be jumpy when saying hello and will benefit from continued work on polite greetings. Supervision around small children is recommended to prevent accidental knock-overs. Once he settles, though, he is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and devoted.
Radar has met other dogs at BARCS and prefers chase-style play with canine friends. He would like to meet any potential resident dogs to ensure a good match.
He knows “stay,” enjoys enrichment activities, and is an extreme chewer who needs durable, power-chewer-approved toys (soft toys won’t last!). One of his favorite “toys” is actually his cone, which he happily carries around. Radar is smart, outgoing, and eager — he just needs guidance to help channel his enthusiasm. Radar 7 is a fun-loving, extroverted dog who brings joy everywhere he goes. Wit

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.

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. See below 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.
**Please note: Animals listed on our adoption pages may still be on stray hold and pending reunion with their owners, or have an existing pending adoption application.
