Meet Kodak — a 7-year-old, people-loving gentleman who is just beginning his next chapter and hoping it leads straight to a forever home.
Kodak came to BARCS through no fault of his own and spent time in a foster home, where his true personality began to shine. He was described as a friendly, energetic, and playful boy, and it was easy to see how much he enjoyed being part of a home environment. Kodak is the kind of dog who simply wants to be near his people—following them from room to room, leaning in for affection, and happily soaking up every bit of love offered.
In the home, Kodak did wonderfully. He appeared to be house-trained (with the occasional excited pee when he was extra happy to see his people), was crate trained, and able to settle in nicely. He is food motivated, which makes training both effective and fun, and he enjoys the simple pleasures in life: walks, treats, cozy naps, and quality time with his humans.
In his previous home, Kodak lived successfully with cats and has experience living with children ages 3 and 12, making him a great potential fit for a variety of households.
At 7 years old, Kodak offers the best of both worlds—past the puppy stage but still full of personality, affection, and joy. He is a loyal, friendly, loving companion who would thrive in a home where he can feel safe, connected, and truly part of the family.
Kodak is currently in the comfort of a foster home. If you`re interested in meeting him, 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.
