Story

Rugrat is neither a rug or a rat. He is an adorable 5-year old terrier mix who never met a lap he didn't like or a treat he didn't want to eat. Rugrat thrives when he in the company of people - both adults and kids, even little ones. He is also wonderful with other dogs. Rugrat is fairly low-key. A short walk, a quick run around the yard and he is happy to be back in his foster home. During quiet times he either retreats to his crate or to his foster mom's lap. Rugrat has been a hit at the adoption events he has attended. This friendly little couch potato is ready to be your new best friend. Please note that Rugrat was abused in his previous home and can sometimes be reactive to new adults. Who can blame him?! He is most comfortable with patient, kind and understanding people. Aren't we all?! Rugrat's foster mom and her grandchildren have fallen in love with him. We know the perfect home is out there.

Story

Eddie just can’t seem to catch anyone’s eye or heart. He’s a precious boy, estimated to be 10 years old, weighing about 20 lbs. But for Eddie, age is just a number!! He’s an active, fast-moving, but cuddly guy. He is looking for a family who will play with him, play ball, and make sure his toy box is overflowing with toys of all kinds. Once he’s finished playing, he will want to cuddle under the covers with his person! Eddie absolutely needs another dog or even two, in his family. He’s more of a follower than a leader! He gets along with dogs of all sizes and loves to out-sprint everyone, racing around the secure, fenced yard of his foster home. Older kids (12++) may be ok but he’s too energetic for younger ones. Eddie is housebroken; he does not need to be crated when left home alone. When his person is home, he absolutely loves to be nearby!! Eddie is in overall good health, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and heartworm negative/on year-round heartworm prevention. If you are interested in adding this precious pup to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Please note that BAARK is located in Barrington IL, and adopts only local to our area.
