Finneon spent some time in a foster home during the snowstorm, and it gave us a wonderful look at who he is outside the shelter. This handsome boy is full of youthful energy and curiosity and often acts more like a puppy than his listed age. He’s playful, expressive, and still figuring out the world—making him a great match for someone who enjoys an active, engaging companion.
Finneon is house-trained and did great in the home with no accidents. He lets his people know when he needs to go out and can hold it appropriately. He does well with basic commands, especially with clear, consistent guidance, and would really benefit from continued obedience training and a predictable routine to help him feel secure and confident.
He is comfortable and happy in his crate, which has been a helpful tool for him when he gets overstimulated. While he may bark when left loose in the house, he settles nicely in the crate and uses it as a calm, safe space. With structure and guidance, he’s shown good progress in learning how to self-regulate.
Finneon is a fetch enthusiast and enjoys playtime—especially balls and bones—and likes to root around and engage with comforting items. He plays enthusiastically but is gentle with his mouth. He can be a bit skittish with new people or unfamiliar things and may cower at first, but overall he is friendly and warms up with patience. On walks, he’s shown no prey drive and has done well around cats in the home.
Finneon knows “sit” and is a smart, energetic, and sensitive boy who will thrive with an adopter committed to training, routine, and positive reinforcement. With the right guidance, he has all the potential to grow into a truly fantastic companion. If you’re looking for a fun, active dog to help shape into an amazing lifelong friend, Finneon might be your perfect match.
Finneon would like to meet any doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match.

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.
