Maggie

Labrador Retriever

Female, 6 yrs 10 mos

Barrington Hills, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Maggie is an adorable White Labrador Retriever estimated to be 4 years old. She’s a petite girl weighing just 35 lbs. Maggie is a very affectionate girl and absolutely loves being with people. She is ok with dogs but can be a bit selective; she does not like dogs who are high-energy and in her face. Likewise, she does not enjoy the company of small children who insist on playing with her, pull her tail and ears, or tease her. Maggie would be fine with older children (i.e., teenagers) who have learned to respect dogs. Because she has a high prey drive, cats would not want to be around her. An ideal home for Maggie offers a calm environment with plenty of time, attention, and affection to provide to her. Maggie would do fine as an only dog, but a calm, possibly older dog would make a great companion for her and vice versa. A secure, fenced yard would be ideal, so Maggie could enjoy running, exploring, and lounging in the sun. Maggie is fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested and on year-round heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting Maggie and possibly adding her to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895 to obtain an adoption application. Note that BAARK is located in Barrington and adopts only local to the Chicago area.

Story

Kenya is an adorable puppy, thought to be a Black Lab Mix. She’s very smart, a quick learner, very alert and quite energetic!! At about 5 months, Kenya weighs 25 lbs.; she's a bit short and stocky! It is most important to note that we cannot be 100% sure of her adult weight, but our best guess is about 45 lbs. This cute pup joined BAARK from an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky earlier this year. She is thought to have been born around March 10th of this year. When joining our rescue program, Kenya appeared happy, calm & gentle, very friendly, and eager to move on to a better life!! Kenya is very sociable, playful, and is great with dogs. She may be a bit too energetic for a senior (dog or human!) An ideal family for Kenya is one able to assimilate the energy of a puppy into their lifestyle and is willing to commit the time to working with and training Kenya to be her best self! A fenced yard is ideal as is another younger or middle-aged pup in the family. Kenya is crate-trained and is working on good house manners (housebreaking). She is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Her spay is included in her adoption fee.

Comet is very smart, a quick learner, very alert and playful, but overall pretty calm for a young boy!! This cute pup joined BAARK from an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky earlier this year. When joining our rescue program, Comet appeared happy, calm & gentle, very friendly, and eager to move on to a better life!! He’s now ready to move along to a forever home of his own! Comet is very sociable, playful, and is great with dogs. Most likely, a young or middle-aged adult dog would prefer his company more so than a senior dog.

Celeste

Labrador Retriever

Female, 3 yrs 4 mos

Barrington Hills, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Celeste is an adorable puppy, but is quite the firecracker….she’s playful, energetic, and VERY active!! She is thought to be a Black Lab Mix; she is very petite. Her very lean structure may be due to her high energy level! And desire to stay active at all times. In addition to running and playing with other dogs, she’s obsessed with water and cannot get enough of playing in it! Celeste’s estimated date of birth is April 1st, 2023. At 5 months, she weighs 25lbs; her adult weight is not known but estimated to be 40 or so lbs. It is most important to note that we do not know just how big Celeste will become as an adult…her new family must be willing to accept her, no matter what her adult size! Celeste is very smart, a quick learner, very alert and energetic and playful. If you are looking to energize your household with a puppy…….Celeste is your girl! This cute pup joined BAARK from an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky earlier this year. When joining our rescue program, Celeste appeared happy, confident, very friendly, and eager to move on to a better life!! She’s now ready to move along to a forever home of her own! Celeste is great with dogs but does play pretty rough with them. Her new family definitely needs to work with her on manners and social skills. And be fully capable of establishing and consistently enforcing the rules of the household using positive reinforcement techniques. While good with other dogs, Celeste would definitely be too much for an older dog in the household. An ideal family for Celeste is one able to assimilate the ongoing energy, enthusiasm, and playfulness of a puppy into their lifestyle and is willing to commit the time to working with and training Celeste to be the best version of herself! A secure fenced is required for this young pup; another younger or middle-aged pup in the family would also be advantageous. Celeste is crate-trained and is working on good house manners (housebreaking). She is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Her spay is included in her adoption fee. For information about adding this youngster to your family please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Special Needs

Brooklyn

Labrador Retriever Black Mouth Cur

Female, 5 yrs 4 mos

Barrington Hills, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Brooklyn is 4 years old, possibly a Lab/Black Mouth Cur mix and one very special girl who has had a long journey to get to where she is today. She was a cruelty case confiscate by Animal Control. She originally had back-leg weakness due to a likely spinal injury as well as being confined in a kennel at Animal Control for several months, with very little opportunity to get out and stretch her legs. Once joining BAARK, through consistent chiropractic care, a good diet and strength building exercises, Brooklyn can now walk and run on her own and has no problem going up and down stairs She does need to have her bladder expressed but it is a very simple procedure (her foster has never done this before and it truly is no big deal at all). Brooklyn goes outside with all the other dogs and simply waits for her bladder to be expressed. Brooklyn is on a raw diet to help with continuing to build muscle strength. Brooklyn is a sweet and happy girl who has overcome so much. She deserves a chance at a family to love and take care of her forever. Brooklyn seems to prefer women but has had no problem meeting new people and vet staff during her year of care. She is good with other dogs, big and small. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention. Brooklyn weighs about 55 lbs.

Story

Meet Sophia…. Sophia is an adorable puppy, thought to be a Whippet – Black Lab Mix; she’s petite with a dainty bone structure vs the more solid bone structure of a Lab!! She’s very smart, a quick learner, very alert and quite energetic!! At about 4 months, Sophia weighs 16 lbs. It is most important to note that we cannot be 100% sure of her adult weight, but our best guess is about 35-40 lbs. This cute pup joined BAARK from an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky earlier this year. She is thought to have been born around November 24 2022. When joining our rescue program, Sophia appeared happy, playful, and must have sensed that she was “free!” and safe!! Sophia is very sociable, outgoing, playful, and is great with dogs, but can be annoying to older, more well mannered dogs; she would be far too energetic for a senior (dog or human!) An ideal family for Sophia is one able to assimilate the energy of a puppy into their lifestyle and is willing to commit the time to working with and training Sophia to be her best self! A fenced yard is ideal as is another younger or middle-aged pup in the family. Perhaps you’d consider adopting Sara along with Sophia…the girls are sisters!! Sophia is crate-trained and is working on good house manners (housebreaking). She is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations, is on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Her spay is included in her adoption fee. For information about adding this adorable girl to your family please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Truman

Labrador Retriever American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr 10 mos

Lake In The Hills, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Truman Breed: Pit Bull / Labrador Retriever Mix Gender: Male DOB: 8/11/24 One look into Truman’s stunning light-colored eyes and it’s all over — you will be completely smitten. This handsome, charismatic Pit Bull/Lab mix is as smart as he is good-looking, and he is absolutely ready to find the family he deserves. Truman comes with an impressive résumé for a boy his age. He already knows sit, stay, crate, and is actively working on leave it. He is fully potty and crate trained, and he will even bark or ring a bell to let you know when he needs to go out — or when he is ready for a snack or a water refill. Communication is one of his strengths, and he takes it very seriously. When it comes to energy, Truman has found his perfect balance. He is an active, playful guy who loves walks, fetch, tug-of-war, and exploring the great outdoors — fair warning, he may pull if a squirrel or rabbit crosses his path, because some things are simply irresistible. But when the adventure is over, Truman transforms into the ultimate couch companion. He loves nothing more than curling up beside his people for a good snuggle session, and he has been known to claim the role of big spoon. He is a fan of hard chew toys — stuffed toys, beware — and his absolute favorite enrichment treat is a Kong stuffed with yogurt and strawberries. A dog who knows what he likes! Truman gets along well with other dogs after proper introductions and has learned his place in the pack. He is curious about cats but won’t hurt them; however, a home without small kittens would be ideal, as they tend to bring out those classic squirrel-chasing instincts. Truman is a big boy with a big heart who still has a few endearing puppy tendencies — a little mouthiness here, the occasional blanket corner sneak chew there — but he is eager to please and genuinely loves to learn. Because of his size and energy, he would do best in a home with children aged 12 and up. If you are looking for a dog who will keep you laughing, active, and cozy all at once — a loyal, loving, fun-spirited companion who will throw himself into family life with everything he has — Truman is absolutely your guy.

Yosef

Labrador Retriever Border Collie

Male, Puppy

Lake In The Hills, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Name: Yoseph Age: DOB 09-15-2025 Weight: Expected medium to large size Breed: Labrador Retriever / Border Collie Mix (best guess) Energy Level: Moderate (more calm and observant than typical puppy energy) Special Traits: Sensitive, gentle, reserved, dog-friendly Ideal Home: Patient, structured home willing to allow full decompression and give him the time he needs to build trust and thrive This sweet boy is one of those puppies who will quietly steal your heart… you just have to be willing to slow down long enough to see him. He came to us as part of an accidental litter from a young couple who had not spayed their dog. When we brought the puppies in, they were in very rough condition and needed several weeks of care before they were healthy enough to even begin their journey forward. From the very beginning, he was more reserved than his siblings. While the others gradually opened up, he has remained a more sensitive, cautious soul. And that’s not a flaw… that’s who he is. He is happy. He wags his tail, he watches you, he’s aware and engaged… but he is not a puppy who will run up and climb into your lap right away. He is still learning that people are safe, and that trust takes time. 🐾 Personality & Temperament He is a gentle, quiet, observant puppy who prefers to take things in at his own pace. He is not shut down, he is simply cautious. He gets along beautifully with other dogs, both male and female, and even does well with younger puppies. He coexists easily and naturally within a group. He just hasn’t fully built that human trust yet. 🐾 Compatibility Dogs: Yes - excellent with all dogs Cats: Unknown - no confirmed exposure Kids: 10+ recommended (younger children case-by-case with proper structure and guidance) 🐾 Training & Transition This is where it’s important to understand… He is not a “ready-made” puppy. He is a dog who will require patience, understanding, and a proper decompression period. He will need an adopter who is willing to bring him into their home and simply allow him to exist without pressure, no forcing interaction, no overwhelming him, no expectations for immediate affection. Just time. Dogs like him do not fail in homes… They BLOSSOM in the right environment. We have seen it time and time again over nearly 30 years. Given space, consistency, and a calm environment, dogs like him become deeply loyal, loving companions. It may take weeks… it may take a few months… But when they choose you, it’s something truly special. 🐾 Special Traits • Gentle, sensitive nature • Observant and thoughtful personality • Dog-friendly with all sizes and ages • Quiet and low-key compared to typical puppies 🐾 Ideal Home • Calm, patient household • Someone experienced or willing to follow guidance • Fully fenced yard required • No expectations for immediate interaction, must allow him to come around at his own pace • Commitment to proper decompression is non-negotiable This boy may not be the one who runs up to greet you first… But he is the one who will quietly choose you, in his own time, and when he does… it will mean everything. If you’re not just looking for a puppy… but for a dog you can truly make a difference for… He’s waiting.

Lake In The Hills, IL

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Name: Gabby Breed: Labrador Retriever Gender: Female Date of Birth: 1/6/2026 Gabby is a sweet, demure black Lab puppy with a gentle soul and a heart that is absolutely overflowing with love. Born on January 6th, she is taking in the world with quiet curiosity and a soft, understated charm that is completely her own. Where some puppies demand the spotlight, Gabby is content to observe, take her time, and do things on her own terms — and honestly, it suits her perfectly. She’s playful and fun when she’s comfortable, with those classic Lab wiggles and zoomies making an appearance once she’s in her element. But there’s an elegance to Gabby that sets her apart from the crowd. She’s not loud about her love — she’s just steady, sweet, and sincere with it. As a Labrador Retriever, Gabby is likely to be loyal, deeply devoted, and incredibly bonded to the family she calls her own. She is looking for a forever family who appreciates a dog with a little quiet grace — people who will love her gentle nature, honor her pace, and cherish the special kind of bond that blooms when a shy soul finally feels truly at home. To learn more about Gabby or to apply to foster or adopt her, visit us at www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org.
