Peter Rabbit (Boomslang 10) is a 6-year-old, 47-pound pup who loves meeting new people and heading out for a walk. He’s full of energy and affection — this sweet boy just wants to give hugs and be close to his people. Peter Rabbit is truly a delight — playful, friendly, and always ready to soak up attention.
Peter Rabbit came to the shelter in need of a little extra TLC and is settling in more each day. Heloves pets and affection. He’ll happily be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your biggest fan. He`s very food motivated (the way to his heart might just be through his stomach!), which will make training fun and rewarding. He can get a little jumpy when he’s excited for attention or treats, but after being deprived of love and goodies for so long, can you really blame him? He redirects easily and is eager to engage.
On walks, Peter Rabbit enjoys sniffing all the “love notes” around the neighborhood and may do some mild pulling, but with a pocket full of treats and a little patience, he is eager to please. He appears to be house trained. He loves to run around and be a happy, goofy dog and when playtime is done for the day, he’s perfectly content curling up in a warm, cozy bed.
Peter Rabbit recently strutted his stuff in the shelter’s Adopted at First Sight PAWrade, and he was the best little date anyone could ask for! This silly, lovable boy was such a good sport — he had no problem keeping all of his adorable accessories on and took it all in stride. He absolutely loved meeting people in the crowd, happily greeting men, women, and kids with his joyful personality.
Peter Rabbit can be uncomfortable around other dogs, and would prefer to be the only dog in his future home. He is eligible to return to BARCS for social sessions after adoption!
With consistency and love, he’s sure to continue shining. If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate companion who’s ready to bond, Peter Rabbit can’t wait to meet you. Visit BARCS to meet Peter Rabbit!

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.
