Coco Bean is a petite, 36-pound sweetheart bursting with charm, affection, and happy energy. She’s friendly, enthusiastic, and heads out on walks with nonstop tail wags—clearly thrilled to be part of any adventure. While she can be a touch shy at first, Coco Bean warms up quickly and reveals her social, people-loving personality.
In a home setting, Coco Bean is doing wonderfully. She is fully house-trained with no accidents and is settling into crate training. When left alone, she may vocalize at first, but she’s making steady progress and typically settles down to nap after some time. She enjoys hard chew toys, which help her relax and stay busy.
Coco Bean is incredibly affectionate and loves being close to her people. She’s happiest curled up in your lap, soaking up cuddles and giving gentle kisses—but she’s just as happy zooming around a yard or chasing toys when playtime rolls around. She’s a lovely balance of playful and snuggly.
She recently attended an adoption event and did great meeting new people, greeting everyone with friendliness and curiosity. Coco Bean has also spent time around a resident cat through a gate and showed polite, playful curiosity with easy redirection, suggesting she could potentially do well with a feline friend given proper introductions.
On leash, Coco Bean generally walks nicely, though she may pull or get vocal when she sees other dogs. She has met other dogs at the shelter and may need a little time to warm up before showing her playful side, so any potential dog roommates should meet her to ensure a good match.
Coco Bean is currently recovering from her spay surgery and is thriving in foster care. She’s learning basic commands, enjoys daily walks, and continues to show just how much she blossoms outside the shelter environment.
Coco Bean is currently in the comfort of a foster home. If you’re interested in meeting this affectionate, joyful girl, please complete an 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.
