Beignet is a 3-year-old, 58.6-lb boy with a gentle, sensitive nature. He is getting more confident and comfortable by the day, and we are starting to see his sweet and wiggly personality. Beignet does well on the leash, and is proud to show off his “sit” for a treat. He’s very attentive to his person and checks in throughout his walk. He seems to be house-trained, and is motivated by affection and treats.
He can still be a little nervous at times when he meets new people, and benefits from calm encouragement. Once Beignet is comfortable, his sweet personality really shines. He enjoys pets and butt scratches, and when he’s feeling safe, he’ll even nudge your hand for more—a quiet but very endearing way of asking for affection. He is starting to loosen up in the yard, too, and enjoys playing with toys.
Beignet spent his snow break in a foster home and made a gentle, heartfelt first impression. He is clearly house-trained and has a very sweet, soft demeanor. From the start, Beignet showed that he’s a true “Velcro dog,” happiest when he’s close by and able to keep his people in sight. He’s perfectly content resting near his humans and takes treats and kibble gently from the palm of your hand.
As he settled into a new environment, Beignet showed some understandable nervousness that eased with simple structure and boundaries—an encouraging sign of how well he responds to guidance. Once given time to decompress, he was calm, affectionate, and content to lounge wherever his people were.
Beignet would thrive in a patient, loving home that values closeness, routine, and a calm atmosphere. With consistency and reassurance, he has all the qualities of a loyal, gentle best friend who just wants to be near the people he loves.
Beignet has met other dog pals at BARCS and does best with gentle, calm canine friends.
Beignet would do best with a patient adopter who is happy to let him move at his own pace. He is still becoming comfortable with his kennel environment, so we encourage potential adopters to ask to meet him outside, where he feels more relaxed and can show his true self.

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:
• Feeling less stressed/fearful in my kennel • Building confidence when I`m scared •

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.

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.
