Story

Click here for Ruth's Facebook Album ***NEW PICTURES ADDED!!*** December 2023: Rue has waited 17 months to find the perfect home. I know is out there but it has to be in the Chicago area and Pointer experience is a must. She is a super fun dog, but she does need playful dog companions and she needs a romp at the dog park occasionally. She is not easy to walk but she might be fun for a runner. She does need a home with a privacy fence, I don't think I would trust her with an invisible fence. In the home, Rue can be mischievous, but she is super cuddly too. November 2023: Congratulations to Rue aka IBR's White Lightning BCAT! Rue has been busy running in Fast CAT competitions and finished her title in 6 runs and is now ranked 6th in the country for Pointers competing in this event AND she is the fastest female with an average speed of just over 26 miles per hour! SHE LOVES FAST CAT-- so my goal right now is to find her a great home where she can continue in this sport and ideally she would be an awesome dog to train in Agility. Surely there is a perfect home waiting for a dog like Rue -- to help her continue to be the bestest Pointer ever!!! 09-2023: LOTS of new photos of Rue in her Facebook album. I can't believe she's been in foster care over a year and I haven't found the perfect adopter. She is STUNNING- athletic and super playful with other dogs. The best home for Ruthie will have a decent sized fenced in yard and a young playful companion. Her potential adopter has to be educated in the field bred Pointer breed- especially since she runs way to big off leash. What's next for Rue-- hopefully some FastCAT competition. May as well find out how fast she is in mile per hour with this new fun AKC event. 6-2023: We are looking for an active home for Miss Ruthie with a playful companion. She is very food and toy motivated and I really think she would especially enjoy taking some Agility classes as she can jump over high barriers and she is fearless in the field. She was doing great at the local dog park until she jumped over the small fence into the parking lot-- STINKER, so the only dog parks she can go to must have at least a 5 foot fence. She's a riot at the dog park however-- she will chase birds and butterflies and we had been working on her running with the pack as she dogs run big and independent. She LOVES to play with the other dogs and the only challenge I am having is trying to keep weight on her. Ruthie is cage and house trained and she can be a couch potato when she has enough exercise. She's been waiting almost a year to find the perfect adopter-- she so deserves a loving home. Since Ruthie is a flight risk, we would prefer an adult only home and Pointer experience is preferred. I also listed her under the prefix GSP, because a GSP enthusiast would appreciate her good looks, but Ruthie is 100% American Field Bred "English" Pointer.. Ruthie is also a little more on the emotional side similar to her Continental cousins. She is also HIGH energy when she plays outside, but can settle down and be a couch potato inside. Off leash, that's where the comparisons end as she is a bigger running Field bred Pointer. The last time we went to the fenced in dog park- she ran out 200 and 400 yards or more. These dogs were actually bred to compete in horseback field trials, but Ruthie would do best being adopted by an active family that can let her run at the dog park occasionally but she really needs a young playful companion for her happiness.She is cage and house trained. Ruthie would also benefit from a structured obedience class. With a good quota of exercise everyday, Ruthie is going to make the best pet and companion. A fenced in yard is non- negotiable and NO HUNTING HOMES!!! 8-7-2022: Here's our new baby lemon Pointer-- Baby Ruth. She is one of many Pointers dumped by a breeder in Trenton, TN to the local shelter in Gibson County. She is about 7 months old and is around 35lbs. She is very thin and her foster family is feeding her 3 times a day to try and help her gain much needed weight. We are also worming her and also treating her with antibiotics for suspected tick borne disease. While Ruth is a playful, confident puppy, we are only looking for a pet foster to adopt home in the Chicago area. Potential adopters also need to have a safe traditional fenced in yard. She would also benefit in a home with a playful doggie companion. She is cat safe. Ruth was going to be killed in the over crowded shelter she was in and we are grateful to Pilot Bob for helping fly her in to the Chicago suburbs on July 25th. Pointers are the best dogs-- have so much joy and personality and we saved this little baby in time before she suffered from shelter life or any training abuse.

Story

Click here for Xuma's Facebook Album September 2023: Xuma continues to be a complete JOY in foster care. She has so much personality and has blossomed in my home. The weekend of September 23/24, Xoomie Xoom Xoom will be running in her first hunt test and I actually hope to end the weekend with an AKC Junior Hunter Title. Her AKC PAL registered name is "IBR's Life if the Party", because she is always in the middle of any play activity when she is outside with her buddies. After that and while she is still in foster care, we will be doing some FastCAT competition. My foster dogs are busy when they are with me. A dog like Xuma that came in so sickly with Lyme disease with sores all over her body and some aches and pains from the old car accident being helped by chiropractic care, is a testament to what we do in my rescue. Getting her back out into the field to do what she was bred to do is one of my favorite goals while in my care. Xuma, (pronounced Zuma), is a petite, beautiful Orange and White Pointer originally from London, Ontario, Canada. She is out of French Pointer lines and was bought my a man in the Chicago area in 2018. She was sadly hit by a car in 2021 and has some nerve damage and some movent issues we are having worked on by our local chiropractor. We were asked to help rehome Miss Xu. Xuma also tested positive for Lyme disease and while she is being treated for that, she will need a conscientious adopter that can take her to our vet in the Chicagoland area annually to help monitor her health. Xuma aka XuXu (ZuZu) is a complete JOY!! She runs like a maniac in spite of her back end weakness and she LOVES to play with other dogs. She is also a squirrel hunter and will point them on a walk! Xuma also loves to run in the field and completely reliable at the dog park-- handling like a dream- and was hunted over in her past life, although her health is priority and we are looking for a pet home right now. If I don't find a home for her in the next few months, I will be running her in local hunt test for fun. While Xuma was kept as an outdoor dog, she house trained quickly and she is also content in a cage in the air conditioning when I leave the home. She is cat safe and I would like her to find a home with another playful dog. Xuma has an under-bite so she can never go into the show ring and her spay and a little dental is coming up soon. I do have her entered into a Fast CAT event in late July and that should be a lot of fun. Any potential adopters need to live in the Chicago area and a fenced in yard is mandatory for her safety.

Sammy

Pointer Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 8 yrs 1 mo

Barrington Hills, IL

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Sammy is a sweet, 8 year old Pointer Mix, possibly a bit of a Lab Mix, estimated to be 45 lbs. Prior to joining BAARK, Sammy was bounced around until he reached his foster home. It takes a bit of time for Sammy to warm up to people he does not know, but once he gets to know you, he is your best friend! He enjoys being petted, and snuggling next to his person. He loves to chew bones and play with (tear apart!!) soft toys. He is not too fond of sharing his toys, however, and prefers to hide them when not playing. Sammy is afraid of loud noises and can be startled by quick movements, as well. He gets long with most dogs, but would definitely do best with a female dog friend. He’d enjoy being an only dog too. A family with older children or an all-adult home would be great, but smaller children might scare Sammy. He is housebroken, and can be left free-roaming when home alone. Sammy is fully vetted, up-to-date on all vaccinations, has had recent bloodwork, is heartworm negative and is on year-round heartworm prevention. He is also neutered and microchipped. If you would like to add Sammy to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Billie

Pointer Australian Shepherd

Female, 4 yrs 2 mos

Barrington Hills, IL

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Billie is an adorable young mix, thought to be a Pointer/Aussie/Lab mix. She’s about 44 lbs, a bit on the lean side currently. And estimated at 4 years old. Billie joined us from a very horrible neglectful situation. She along with eight other dogs was rescued from a trailer, after the owner of the trailer was taken to a mental health facility. All dogs were starved; two were starved to death. Billie was one of the survivors, but barely so. She was skin and bones when joining our rescue program….and a look of hopelessness filled her eyes. During the last several weeks that Billie has been in her BAARK foster home, she has made notable progress, gaining weight, looking better, feeling more confident, and showing us some pep in her step! She’s even starting to play with other dogs. An ideal home and family for Billie is one who can understand her past and give her the time and space she needs to continue to build her confidence, and blossom into a loving, playful girl that she deserves to be. Good nutrition is very important given her past. Billie obviously is good with other dogs but the preferred home for Billie would be as an only dog, or with another calm friendly dog. She’d love a secure fenced yard where she could run, play, and exercise. She is scared of quick movements at this time, so smaller children would likely be overwhelming to her; older children should be fine. If you would like to consider Billie for a member of your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Note that BAARK is located in the NW Suburbs of Chicago and adopts local to our area.

Click here for Camille's Facebook Album Here's our new Tennessee bird dog mix- Camille. She's about 14 months old and cute as a button!! Best guess is there could be some Pointer or maybe Labrador in the mix with her higher set ears. She is a WIGGLER!!! She shakes her whole body when she is happy and she really likes to wiggle around kitties. She is also great with other dogs and loves to play. She's clumsy like a puppy but is having a blast at her new foster home chasing her foster brother- Rudy. She weighs around 38lbs but is still growing. Her foster mom reports she is so sweet and loves to cuddle on the furniture. She would do best in a home with a playful buddy and she also needs a safe fenced in yard.
