Story
Meet Hooper. He is a 5 year old mixed breed male dog. He has husky like blue eyes, a scruffy beard and a slight mohawk along his beautiful grey back. We have had him for four years . We are looking for a home where he will be less anxious. We have two young kids, who we trust him implicitly with, but unfortunately he has bitten two children who have come into the home. Level 1 anxious bites but still not something we can have around as we also work with children. He also bit a neighbor who reached over our fence. He loves to run in the yard and play and will do well with space. He does not like other animals but has shown interest and played with younger puppies in the past. A trainer assessed his as not aggressive but insecure. He needs an alpha owner who can handle him and lead him. He is house trained, knows a few commands, " stay, wait, place, shake, down" He really is a good dog, he just needs an owner who can give him more training and does not have kids around all the time.

Story
Don't skip this great goofy gal! Poppy is a previous alumna that is back because her pet parents wanted the best for her energetic personality.  Poppy's foster parent has noticed that she needs mental enrichment more than physical enrichment. So, a multi dog house that does regular training would be the best fit for Poppy. She is a sweet and very social 2 yrs old 55Lb Pointer mix, her birthday was May 24th. She is kennel and command trained. She does still occasionally pull on the leash so taking time for bonding games is suggested before outings. She also still likes to see where the cats are running to but is fine with them. Although a slow introduction would be advised for any new animal.  Poppy's adoption fee is $300 which cover her spay, microchip, vaccines and flea & heartworm prevention. You can apply at gfrpets.org/apply/adoptdog/ ##2152248##

Story
Bogart is a sweet senior, an English Pointer Mix, estimated at 8-9 years old, weighing 55 lbs. Sadly Bogart had been found tied to a post on a desolate country road, left to die, abandoned and alone. No dog deserves to end up this way, especially a sweet, gentle senior. In spite of his past neglect and trauma, Bogart trusts people and just wants to be loved. This precious boy is calm, gentle, cuddly and sweet. He loves people and wants to be with his people at all times. He loves belly rubs and enjoys going for walks. He also likes relaxing in the secure, fenced yard at his foster home. In his foster home, he enjoys the companionship of a couple of other dogs who are his size. But does prefer people, being with them, cuddling with them, and always eager to please them. Bogart is eager to learn and eager to please. Bogart likes to sleep on his fosters’ bed at night, to be close to them. We want to find him a forever family willing to provide him such attention and companionship. Bogart needs a forever family wherein someone is home most of the time. He can become very anxious when no one is around / when he is left home alone. Another dog in the home is helpful but he will need to learn that if gone, his people will be returning to be with him. He would also enjoy a secure, fenced yard. (No underground fences, please) Although a bit older, Bogart is in good overall physical shape. However he came to us with a previous eye injury leaving him blind in his right eye. His eye does not appear to bother him or cause him any pain. It definitely does not impede his overall vision. Bogart has been fully vetted, is up to date on vaccinations, heart worm negative and on year-round heart worm prevention, is neutered and micro-chipped If you are interested in opening your heart and home to this special pup, please reach out to BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895 for more information on adoption. Note that BAARK is located in the NW suburbs of Chicago and adopts local to the Chicago area.

Story
Meet Olive! 🐾Olive is a sweet, cuddly, energetic 7 month old puppy. She loves people, cuddling, playing, and receiving attention. She is a very smart girl, and knows sit, stay, and other commands. However, she is still working on consistently listening! I adopted Olive about a month ago; she is not compatible with my two resident cats. She becomes highly focused on them, locks on, and tenses up. After trying multiple approaches, I decided to rehome her to a cat free home. I also believe Olive would do best with another friendly, well-socialized dog. She loves to play and learn from other canine companions! Although that is not a necessity, as she still does completely fine without the guidance of an older dog.She is potty trained (with occasional accidents from excitement!) Her breed is unknown and is an estimate based on looks and temperament. I am hoping to find her a loving home where she can thrive! ❤️
