My story

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

Meet Ambient! Ambient is a friendly and sweet girl who greets the world with lots of happy tail wags. She has the cutest face and a truly sweet, affectionate nature. Ambient loves pets and attention and is always eager to soak up affection from her people. Ambient is very treat-motivated and has a great “sit,” and is working on “stay” and “down,” happily showing off for snacks. She’ll even hop up on a bench so you can give her some extra love. She comes out of the kennel ready to go and excited for her walk. Overall, she does well on the leash, though she may pull a bit when she gets excited.

Ambient is 4 years old, weighs 43 pounds, and appears to be housebroken. She is already altered, which means she’s ready to go home today! With her gentle demeanor, affectionate personality, and love of people, Ambient is a wonderful girl who can’t wait to find her forever home.

Ambient has enjoyed a few Dog’s Day Out adventures with volunteers, and showed just how special she is outside the shelter. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and eager to please. Ambient already knows sit and impressed everyone by learning stay in just one day—a true testament to how smart and responsive she is. She walks very well on a leash, is highly treat-motivated, and listens closely to her handler, making her a joy to work with. Ambient also appears to be house-trained and did great riding in the car, settling in easily and enjoying the ride. She’s very polite in the home, and didn’t get into anything that wasn’t hers. She’s a complete cuddle bug, and is happy to spend the day lounging and snoozing while you work.


Ambient would be a wonderful match for an adopter looking for a well-mannered, affectionate dog who’s ready to be a loving companion and continue learning in a home environment.

Ambient has met other dogs at the shelter, she can be a little avoidant and does best with polite friends. She will need to meet any potential doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match. She is eligible to come back to BARCS for social sessions.

Visit BARCS to meet Ambient.

Additional adoption info

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.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Address: 2490 Giles Road, Baltimore, MD 21225

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.

More about this shelter

BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
