Bronco is a 6-year-old, 43-lb boy who is already altered and came to BARCS a bit underweight. He’s on the shy side and would do best with a kind, patient adopter who can help him learn that the world isn’t such a scary place. Bronco loves to show off his very good sit, and he’s so proud of himself that he adds some adorable happy tippy taps.
He walks well on the leash and is overall easy to manage, making outings calm and enjoyable. Bronco may even be house-trained at the shelter. While he’s still gaining weight, he has even allowed staff to put a sweater on him to help keep him warm—a sweet sign of his trusting nature. With gentle guidance, patience, and a loving home, Bronco has all the potential to truly blossom.
Bronco may need to meet any doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match.
Bronco is in the comfort a foster home, please email dogfosters@barcs.org to be connected with his foster family.
I`m a VIP because I`m still learning, and the shelter can be a tough place for dogs like me to shine. But I’ve got a whole team cheering me on!
Here are a few things the staff and volunteers are helping me with: • Practicing calm behavior when seeing things on walks that excite or scare me • Learning to make the right dog friends at the right pace • Learning that the world isn`t so scary
If you`re patient and open-hearted, I could be your best friend. I`m available for either adoption or foster—both will help me tremendously! When you visit, a staff member can walk you through what’s been working for me and how you can keep the progress going at home.

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!

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.
