Radar 7 is a cheerful, affectionate, people-loving boy whose true personality shines in a foster home. Outside of the shelter environment, Radar is calmer, sweeter, and deeply cuddly — the kind of dog who wants to be close to his people and soak up all the love he can get. Whether he’s lounging on the couch, laying right on top of you, or happily tagging along on walks, Radar thrives on connection and companionship.
In his foster home, Radar appears to be housebroken and does very well with a consistent routine. Radar is also excellent in his crate — he’s extremely comfortable in his crate, walks right in on his own, and settles immediately without fuss. When left alone, he relaxes easily and shows no signs of distress.
Radar loves his walks, though he does pull consistently on leash, especially when he sees people, squirrels, or other dogs. His excitement comes from enthusiasm and curiosity, not fear or reactivity. He is very food-motivated and responds well to redirection, making continued leash training very manageable with consistency and patience.
This social butterfly loves meeting people and has greeted many adults and children during walks and adoption events. He gets equally excited about everyone and can be jumpy and mouthy when meeting new folks, especially in stimulating environments. Because of this, Radar will need continued work on polite greetings and would do best with supervision around smaller children to prevent accidental knock-overs. At home, however, he’s noticeably calmer — sweet, affectionate, and content to cuddle.
Radar already knows “sit” and is working on “down.” He’s a smart boy who wants to please and enjoys learning, especially when treats are involved. When it comes to play, Radar has some important preferences: he’s an extreme chewer and needs durable toys designed for power chewers. Soft toys don’t stand a chance!
Radar 7 is a loving, enthusiastic, cuddly companion who just needs the right home to see past first impressions and appreciate who he truly is once he settles in. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow with a big heart and lots of personality, Radar might be your guy.
If you’re interested in meeting Radar 7, please complete an application and email dogfosters@barcs.org for next steps.
I`m a VIP because I`m still learning, and the shelter can be a tough place for dogs like me to shine. But I’ve got a whole team cheering me on!

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.

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.
