My story

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

Paris Dream is a 3-year-old girl weighing 40.6 pounds, and those ears are truly impossible to miss. She moves through life with a calm, steady presence—just like her name suggests. Paris Dream does well on the leash overall and has shown herself to be non-reactive, even when passing the shelter cats along the trails.

She can be a bit reserved when you first meet her, but once she warms up, her affectionate and quietly charming personality shines through. Paris Dream knows **sit** and will often offer an automatic sit when treats are involved. She also knows **paw** and is happy to show it off, especially if you’re holding a snack. A few tasty treats go a long way in building her confidence and bringing out her sweet side.

Paris Dream enjoys hopping up onto agility platforms to strike a pose and show off her skills, adding to her understated charm. With her gentle nature, polite manners, sweet personality, and unforgettable ears-for-days, Paris Dream is ready to find a loving home where she can continue to blossom!

Paris Dream recently enjoyed a Dogs Day Out with a volunteer, and she made an unforgettable impression. From the moment she was picked up, she was full of wiggles, kisses, and happy energy. She loved her car ride—sniffing the fresh air through a cracked window—then settling in comfortably on a blanket in the back seat. On walks, Paris Dream showed off her excellent leash manners and even impressed with her listening skills, calmly sitting and waiting when asked before crossing the street. She’s treat-motivated, knows how to sit and give a paw, and happily engages in playtime, bringing toys over to keep the fun going.

At home, Paris Dream truly shines as a companion. She’s a world-class snuggler who loves relaxing on the couch next to her person and stays politely by your side during meals without begging. She was a total Velcro dog, following her volunteer everywhere and soaking up every moment together.

Paris Dream may need to meet any doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match.

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.
