Introducing adoptable Ari Lennox, a compact low rider with big confidence, a wag that means business, and a face that practically demands pets the moment she leans in. This 38 pound girl may be small, but she’s huge on personality. Ari Lennox is a total love bug. She leans right in for pets, soaks up every bit of attention, and loves snuggling close while still showing off her playful, silly energy. She is smart and eager to learn. She knows “sit” and is very food-motivated, which makes her excited to engage, practice, and show off her tricks. Ari Lennox appears housetrained at the shelter, and walks well on leash. She is confident and curious, enjoys exploring her surroundings, and can get a little excited at first but quickly settles and focuses on her person.
Ari Lennox has home experience from a temporary foster home, where she did well with children ages 3 and 11 and practiced her social skills. She is playful and full of energy, always ready to chase a toy, show off her clever antics, or join in a fun game with her people. She’s sweet, confident, playful, and smart.
Ari Lennox has met other pups at BARCS and does best with polite, gentle friends. She can get uncomfortable around pushy dogs, so she’ll need to meet any potential doggie roommates to make sure everyone is a good fit.
Ari Lennox is hoping for a home where she can soak up all the pets and share her clever, playful antics with people who match her energy—and her love of snacks. Looking for a playful, tender-hearted pup? Come to BARCS and meet adorable Ari Lennox! Visit BARCS to meet Ari Lennox!

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.
