PLEASE COMPLETE THE ADOPTION APPLICATION FIRST. WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ONLINE INQUIRIES - ONLY ADOPTION APPLICANTS. LINK TO ADOPT: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA Meet Marty! Marty is a sensitive pup looking for a patient and loving family who understands the importance of structure and clear guidance. This sweet pup thrives on having well-defined rules and boundaries and needs an owner who can provide the stability he craves. Marty may initially be a bit unsure and fearful in unfamiliar situations, but with your consistent support, he will gradually build trust and confidence. He's an enthusiastic learner who loves going on walks, enjoying car rides, and basking in the sun. His joy is infectious, and he’s always eager to discover new things. Marty delights in his daycamp adventures, where he happily interacts and relaxes with other dogs. At home, he has a special bond with his feline foster brother and is always thrilled to see him after a day of daycamp. Marty is learning to use his crate and designated “place” as a safe haven during stressful moments, and continuing this routine in his new home will help him feel secure. If you’re an experienced dog owner who can provide Marty with the guidance he needs, you'll be rewarded with a loving, loyal companion who’s ready to become a cherished member of your family. Marty is patiently waiting for the right person to give him the forever home he’s dreaming of. Could that person be you?

Story
Hi, my name is Leah, and I am a sweet and gentle senior dog looking for a loving home to spend my golden years. Even though I am a senior, I still have a lot of love, loyalty, and enthusiasm left in me. I am quiet and curious, and I love to explore and take in all the smells around me. I am a friendly dog who is always eager to greet my human friends with wags and kisses. I am fine with other dogs. I am a bit older and need a gentle touch, so I would be best suited for a quiet home without young children. If you are looking for a sweet and gentle companion to share your life with, please consider adopting me, Leah. I promise to give you lots of love and cuddles in return for a warm and cozy home.

Story
If I look sad, it’s because I was dropped off at the shelter when my owner got sick. A couple of days after being rescued, I also got very sick. I have some kidney issues but with good veterinary care and lots of TLC I’m doing better every day. I’m a calm quiet fellow who gets along with all the pups at rescue. My personality is coming out slowly. I'm a little cautious of where I am and who's caring for me since it's been confusing to be shuttled around so much. I’m hoping to find my forever home soon.

Story
Max is an adorable senior Maltese looking for his forever family! He weighs just 8lbs, and is estimated to be around 10yr old. This little guy is full of life and love, and enjoys the company of his brother Ace. These two lifelong buddies ended up at an overcrowded shelter together, and we would love for them to be adopted as a pair. Max loves to receive attention, and his favorite place to be is in your lap! Although he is older, that doesn&#39t slow him down - he loves to play with toys, wrestle with his bigger brother, and run around in his fenced yard. He is house broken, knows his basic commands, and has wonderful leash manners. Max&#39s brother Ace is a beautiful Siberian Husky. He is very smart, sweet, and is dog and kid friendly. Max often looks to Ace for reassurance and allows him to take the lead. Please see Ace&#39s bio for full details on him. Max is a total snuggle bug who would love nothing more than a warm lap to spend his days cuddled up in! He would do great in any household, and is also kid friendly. Max is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If you&#39re interested in adopting Max, 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.October 4, 2024, 9:39 am
