Sadie is a sweet, soulful 4-year-old, 46-pound girl who is settling beautifully into foster life and already showing just how special she is. While she was understandably a bit nervous when she first arrived at the shelter, Sadie has truly blossomed in a home environment and is proving to be incredibly affectionate, gentle, and people-oriented.
In her foster home, Sadie has been an absolute delight. She rode calmly in the car, is very tolerant of handling, and has remained trusting and loving—even while receiving daily medications. She hasn’t had any accidents in the house and appears to be fully housetrained. Sadie does well resting in her crate when needed and settles easily, especially when she’s near her people.
Sadie’s favorite things include being petted, brushed, and cared for—she soaks up affection and loves relaxing calmly beside you, gazing up with the most endearing expression. She also enjoys plush toys and chew treats and seems like she would be quite playful once she’s cleared for more activity.
At this time, Sadie is on a strict rest protocol, so her activity has been limited to short potty breaks. Even so, she’s shown interest in passing animals without any reactivity. She has met other dogs at BARCS and does best with gentle dog pals; any potential canine roommates should meet her to ensure a good match.
Despite everything she’s been through, Sadie remains sweet, trusting, and deeply affectionate. She is the kind of dog who wants nothing more than to be close to her person, enjoying quiet companionship and loving attention.
Sadie is currently in the comfort of a foster home. If you’re interested in meeting her, please complete an application and email dogfosters@barcs.org for next steps. Please check back soon for updates as we continue learning more about this lovely girl.

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.
