Story
Meet Leslie, an easy going 7yr old Shepherd/Mix! She is a medium/large girl, weighing 75lbs, and would make a great companion for a family looking for a quiet and relaxed family member. Leslie has a sweet temperament, and a medium energy level. Leslie is dog friendly, and may get along well with older kids. She is crate trained, and house trained. Leslie came to BarkVille Dog Rescue after spending time at an overcrowded Atlanta shelter, where she was taken after her previous owner was arrested for animal cruelty. This deserving girl should receive nothing but love and great care for the rest of her days! She is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If you&#39re interested in adopting this sweet girl, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org or submit an application at https://www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications. BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area. Applicants in surrounding states could potentially adopt a BarkVille dog if their application is approved, they live within 2-3 hours of the Greater Atlanta area, and they are able to pick up their dog from the foster home.March 8, 2026, 12:40 am

Story
Effy is an adorable Chihuahua/Corgi Mix looking for her forever family! She was born 6-18-23, and weighs just 22lbs. This deserving girl had a rough start to life, as she was rescued from a hoarding case in Floyd County, GA along with her best friend Bryn (dark). She is learning all about the good life in her foster home and is thriving! Effy is gentle, sweet, and timid. She is eager to explore and play, and loves to sit in your lap. She&#39s a quick learner and has picked up on her house training, crate training, and walks great on a leash. Her foster Mom says she has the best personality - she is silly and fun loving, and will keep you laughing all the time! Effy is good with other dogs, and is likely cat friendly too (would need to be tested). She is a bonded pair with Bryn (dark), and they will need to be adopted together. Effy needs a fenced yard, and would do well in any household. Effy is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If you&#39re interested in adopting this sweet girl and her pal Bryn, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org or submit an application at https://www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications. BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area.

Story
Meet Zsa Zsa, an adorable Chiweenie/Miniature Pinscher! She is estimated to be around 2yr old, and weighs 22lbs. She was part of an unwanted litter that was living in a pen outside in Rome, GA. They were surrendered to BarkVille Dog Rescue, and she is learning all about the good life in her foster home! This sweet girl can start off a little shy, but once she warms up, she is friendly and fun loving! Zsa Zsa gets along well with dogs and cats! Zsa Zsa would love a forever home with another dog or cat, and a fenced yard where she can spend time exploring and doing zoomies. Due to her shy nature, a home with older/no kids would be ideal. She is potty trained, walks well on leash, and knows some of her basic commands. Zsa Zsa is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped.

Story
MEET SWEET LUCKY JACKSON, aka LJ! TO SEE THIS HANDSOME BOY, PLEASE APPLY AT WWW.BARKVILLEDOGRESCUE.ORG/APPLICATIONS OR INQUIRE AT INFO@BARKVILLEDOGRESCUE.ORG. Lucky Jackson, aka LJ is a handsome three-year-old, 70-pound mixed breed boy with a sweet nature, a big heart, and an even bigger capacity to love. Early in life, he experienced quite a bit of instability, which left him a little unsure of the world at times. Yet, he is still willing to learn. What he's hoping for now is simple: a stable home where he can finally settle in and stay. LJ is a medium-energy dog who finds a really nice balance between playtime and relaxation. At home, he's calm, affectionate, and easy to live with. Give him a chew toy and he's perfectly happy entertaining himself. He's respectful of his space and yours. Then his goofy side kicks in. He'll grab a toy, trot around proudly and try to recruit you into playtime. No takers? No problem. He'll keep himself entertained, then settle right back down. LJ truly thrives on human connection. Encouraging words and affection mean everything to him. You can see how he softens when he knows he did something well. He's also very smart with a wide vocabulary of both basic and advanced commands and he knows it well. He enjoys learning and paying attention to his person. This wonderful boy is house-trained and crate-trained. He enjoys car rides. When left alone, he settles calmly and keeps an eye on the home. He can be sensitive to environmental noise - things like motorcycles, loud equipment, or busy surroundings. With calm direction and reassurance, he settles and moves through it. LJ would thrive in a home that offers structure, patience, and encouragement. His ideal home would include: a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood where he can run and play; a person or family who enjoys engaging with him and building his confidence; and possibly another friendly dog who enjoys playing. Homes with small children or cats would not be the right fit. Teenagers and older would be a great match for him. What LJ truly needs is someone who sees the wonderful dog he already is and gives him the stability he's been waiting for. In return, he'll bring loyalty, laughter, and a whole lot of heart. If you're looking for a truly special companion who will give you his whole heart and make your family complete, Lucky is waiting for you. If you're interested in adopting this sweet boy, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org or submit an application at https://www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications. BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area.

Story
Meet Midnight! Midnight is a 3-year-old pup with a beautiful story of resilience and transformation. She was found as a stray in Walton County, understandably fearful and unsure of the world around her. Since then, Midnight has made incredible progress. She has completed professional training at Rucker's Dog Training Academy and comes with a lifetime of training support, giving her future family the tools and guidance to help her continue to thrive. Midnight is dog-friendly and enjoys spending time with her foster brother, Snickers. She can be slow to warm up to new people, but with patience and consistency, she forms deep, loyal bonds. Once she trusts you, she becomes a devoted companion who truly loves her person. She would do best in a home with children 12 and up and an adopter who understands that she may need time to adjust and build confidence at her own pace. Her ideal home is quiet, with a fenced-in yard, where she can feel safe and settle in comfortably. Midnight loves: car rides and golf cart adventures; walks and running; hanging out with her people and dog-friends. With the right home, Midnight will be an incredibly rewarding and loyal companion. If you're willing to give her the time she needs, she'll give you her whole heart. If you'd like to adopt Midnight, please fill out an application at: www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications or email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org for more information. Come meet Midnight -- she might just be the perfect addition to your family! BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area.

Story
Harold (goes by Harry) is a sweet and easy-going American bulldog/Mix who is ready for his forever family! This handsome boy is estimated to be around 3.5 years old, and is medium sized, weighing 60lbs. He is dog friendly, great with kids, and is a happy and loving boy! He is both house trained and crate trained, and has good leash walking manners. Harold is a low energy dude who loves spending time hanging on the sofa (belly rubs and scratches behind his ears speak to his heart)! Harold also loves to play, so he would be just as happy with other dogs in the home. Harold can be a little shy with people at first and will need slow introductions to other dogs. He is obsessed with getting in the car (would prefer to stay in it) and loves going for car rides. He is a smart boy who holds place while waiting to be served his breakfast and dinner. Harold loves his person and will be attached! He takes medication daily for anxiousness and when storms roll in. He would love an adopter who is going to be patient and create a structured daily routine for him. He has previously lived with a dog trainer who taught him basic commands. Harold will come with a lifetime of free training!
