My story

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

Meet Petey - The Sweetest Lab Mix You'll Ever Meet! Petey is an 8-12 month old yellow Lab mix, weighing about 35 pounds and one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet. He is gentle, affectionate, and adores giving hugs and kisses. This boy truly loves people, kids, dogs, and even cats -- his heart is just full of love for everyone. Petey is the perfect combination of playful and laid-back. He has a medium energy level -- he'll happily run in the backyard, join you for walks or hikes, and play with his dog friends, but he's also content to settle down for cuddles on the couch. He's smart, eager to please, and already walks nicely on a leash. He's potty and crate trained and has wonderful house-manners. Simply put -- Petey is an easy-going, well-behaved sweetheart who will fit right into almost any family. This sweet boy was rescued from Bartow County Shelter, where he was heartbreakingly given a deadline. We just couldn't let such a loving pup miss out on his chance at a happy life. Petey is heartworm positive, but please don't let that deter you. Barkville will cover the entire cost of his treatment. The treatment consists of three injections: after the first injection, Petey will need about a month of quiet time with no exercise, followed by two more injections given close together. Then, he'll need another 4-6 weeks of calm rest. During this time, Petey will be your favorite snuggle buddy -- heartworm treatment is really just a time for him to relax, recover, and soak up extra love. Heartworms are not contagious, and once his treatment is complete, Petey is expected to make a full recovery and live a long, happy life. Petey is such a special, easy-going, and affectionate boy -- he just wants a family of his own to love and be loved by. Could you be the one to give him his forever home and the fresh start he deserves?

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.
