My story

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

Meet Flippy (aka Gus) - the Sweetest Little Black Lab You'll Ever Meet! Flippy is a 1.5-2-year-old Black Lab mix, weighing about 45 pounds, and he is pure sunshine in dog form. This boy is super, super sweet -- the kind of gentle, loving soul who wins over everyone he meets. Flippy is very friendly with dogs, adores kids, and is even great with cats. If it has a heartbeat, Flippy wants to be its friend. His journey hasn't been easy. Flippy was on a very urgent list at the Bartow County Shelter and came heartbreakingly close to losing his chance at a happy life. We are so incredibly grateful we pulled him -- he deserves all the love and attention in the world. When he arrived, this poor boy had some hair loss, an ear infection, and was noticeably underweight. Thankfully, everything was perfectly treatable, and Flippy is already feeling so much better. He should ideally be around 50 pounds, and we're helping him get there with good food, care, and lots of love. Flippy is not only adorable -- he's also smart. He picks up new tricks quickly and is learning his leash manners beautifully. He's already house-trained and crate-trained, making him an easy addition to any home. Flippy would thrive with a nice backyard to explore, a furry friend to play with or kids to shower him with affection. He has a medium energy level -- playful and fun, but not over the top -- and he would be grateful for daily walks and adventures. He's a true lovebug who enjoys life and every new experience with joy and curiosity. It feels like he has left his past behind and is soaking up as much happiness as he possibly can. Flippy is microchipped, neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready for a forever family who will adore him as much as we do. Could that family be yours? If you think Flippy might be the one for you, we'd love to hear from you! Please email us at 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.
