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.

Story
CHARACTERISTICS Friendly, Affectionate, Loyal, Gentle, Playful, Smart, Loves kisses, Funny HEALTH Vaccinations up to date, spayed / neutered. GOOD IN A HOME WITH Other dogs, children. Meet Keystone, a young canine with a heart full of magic. One day, Keystone was playing in a mystical forest, chasing enchanting butterflies, when he stumbled upon a magical stone. The stone, whispering ancient spells, transported Keystone to our shelter. Despite the unexpected journey, Keystone remains sweet, cuddly, goofy, playful, funny, curious, smart, friendly, loyal, and gentle. He's always ready to share a laugh, lend a comforting paw, or engage in a playful romp. His curiosity makes him an excellent explorer, and his intelligence means he's quick to learn new tricks. Keystone's loyalty makes him a faithful companion, and his gentle nature ensures he's a joy to be around. If you're looking for a friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, always ready to brighten your day with his playful antics and loving nature, Keystone is the perfect match. Let the magic of his story become a part of yours. Our amazing boy's adoption fee is $350 which includes his neuter, microchip, fecal exam, and shots up to date. His birthday is 6/21/23. Please consider opening your heart and incredibly loving home to this cutie! He has done very well with other dogs and children at our adoption events. Note: All dogs require a $100 training deposit. Once confirmation of the completion of a training class has been sent to the rescue, you will receive your deposit back in full. As we are a rescue all of our adult dogs/puppies for adoption must be spayed or neutered. Although we make every attempt to have this done before finding their adoptive families, this is not always possible. Please speak with your adoption coordinator to see of this service has already been performed or they will explain to you if your new dog/puppy will need this service while in your care at no cost to you. When emailing please include your phone number to help speed up the adoption process. Also, for the safety of our dogs we only adopt within a 2 hour radius of Joliet, Illinois, to allow our volunteers to do home checks if necessary.

Story
CHARACTERISTICS Friendly, Affectionate, Loyal, Gentle, Playful, Smart, Loves kisses, Funny HEALTH Vaccinations up to date, spayed / neutered. GOOD IN A HOME WITH Other dogs, children. Meet Jayco! Jayco is an amazing pup who loves to play. Sadly, he was an owner surrender last June (his mom had just given birth to him) and has been overlooked since then. When Jayco meets new people, he can be a little shy. Give him some time, though, and he comes out of his shell, showing just how playful, silly, and sweet he truly is! A bonus is that Jayco is very smart! He knows how to sit and is currently working on other skills. Ultimately, food and love are the way to Jayco's heart. He just wants to give and receive affection and unlimited cuddles. We think he would be great in a home with other dogs or puppies that he can befriend! Would you like to meet this love bug? If you answered 'yes!' then email us at hopefultailsadoptions@outlook.com to fill out an application and schedule a time to come in. Jayco would love nothing more than to finally find his loving forever family! ? Jayco's adoption fee is $350 which includes her spay, microchip, fecal exam, and shots up to date.

Story
Lieutenant Natasha Yar, chief security officer aboard the USS-Enterprise, reporting for duty! Of course, you can just call me Tasha. Much like my namesake character from Star Trek: The Next Generation, I am small but mighty and a true protector! I am also (partially) blonde and my funny tiny ears match Tasha Yar's short hair. Also like Tasha, I have had a rrruff life before now and am happy to start anew. I have a little bit of a funny appearance. I have my tiny ears, looong legs, and my eyes sometimes go out to the sides. It's really hard to know what breeds I may be mixed with. All I know is that I'm super sweet and loving but have no problem being feisty too. I'm still a pup after all! I love to wrestle with the other dogs in the house and we get along great, though I do have to eat separately. I get barky when I have food because I feel the need to protect it! I am doing amazing with things like house training, leash training, and being comfortable with car rides. Behind my tough exterior, I'm actually a very sweet and snuggly girl! I'll rub all over you like a cat and always be by your side waiting for love. I am even great with smaller humanoids. I'm ready for a family of my own to explore the galaxies with. Apply today!
