Biscotti is a sweet, curious, and affectionate boy who is steadily gaining confidence and showing his playful, loving personality every day. This gentle pup thrives in a calm, nurturing environment and loves spending time with his people, soaking up attention and affection.
Biscotti is house trained and settling beautifully into a foster routine. While he may whine briefly when left alone, he quickly relaxes, naps quietly, and is making great progress. He’s learning to navigate his world with curiosity and confidence—and he’s even clever enough to open lever-style doors, so a secure space is recommended.
This thoughtful boy enjoys walks, playtime in the yard, and chasing toys. He’s learning to retrieve, loves zoomies, and responds wonderfully to positive, treat-based training. Biscotti knows “sit”, has recently learned “down,” “stay,” and “come,” and shows a real eagerness to please his people.
Inside the home, Biscotti is calm, attentive, and affectionate. He loves snuggling, following his foster around, and joining in daily routines. Small, endearing behaviors—like pacing carefully down stairs to match his person’s pace—highlight his thoughtful, observant nature. He’s adjusting well to short car rides and quiet indoor adventures.
Biscotti does best as the only dog in a household, where he can have the time, space, and attention he deserves. With patience, consistency, and love, Biscotti will continue to blossom into a confident, joyful companion who thrives on closeness, play, and affection.
Biscotti is currently in a foster home. If you’re interested in meeting this sweet, lovable boy, please complete an adoption application and email dogfosters@barcs.org for next steps.

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.
