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
Zuma is part of a litter of Whippet-mix puppies that came to us from Illinois Doberman Rescue after being discovered in the barn where they were born. Having had very little contact with people early in life, the puppies arrived understandably scared, under-socialized, and overwhelmed by the world around them. Many of the puppies are black, but only sweet Zuma sports an adorable mohawk on her neck that makes her extra special. Since arriving in foster care, Zuma has been learning the comforts of a home and what it means to play, trust, and simply be a puppy. While she is still shy around new people, startled by sudden noises, and nervous about car rides, she has gained tremendous confidence by watching and mirroring the resident dogs in her foster home. Zuma has made wonderful progress in potty training as she has had no accidents in the house for weeks. Zuma sleeps through the night either in her crate or in the family's bed. She knows several basic commands, including sit, down, and touch, and continues to learn and grow every day. Her favorite things are squeaky toys, dog puzzles, and retrieving treasures from the yard or around the house to proudly show her foster mom. She spends her afternoons in the home office serving as her foster dad’s loyal co-worker and is always the first dog in the kitchen when meal preparation begins. Her foster mom loves that Zuma's spirited personality is emerging. For example, Zuma has absolutely no concept of privacy when someone is in the bathroom and Zuma gives a little whine if she feels she isn't getting enough pets on the couch while watching Netflix with the family.. While Zuma is comfortable and happy within her familiar world of home and backyard, she is still fearful of unfamiliar environments. Walking on a leash is not something she is ready for yet, and car rides, sudden noises, changes in the household, and meeting new people can be overwhelming for her. Zuma will thrive in a home with a securely fenced backyard and confident dog companions who can continue helping her build confidence and navigate the world. She needs a patient, understanding adopter who will respect her pace, celebrate her progress, and help her work through her fears with kindness and consistency. With time, love, and the right environment, Zuma will continue to blossom into a devoted, affectionate, and entertaining companion.

Story
I have had so many chances in my young life. Seriously...I was found with four siblings at about 2.5 weeks old, dumped in a box at the post office... we were so, so sick and close to death. My rescue mom really worked hard to get us healthy and LIVE. And we did! About 6 weeks later, we all got parvo..... and my rescuer was able to nurse all of us out of it! All my siblings have been adopted, and I am ready too! I am somewhat shy and will take time to settle into my new family. But I will adjust. I am best with another dog, calm and confident, because I will mirror that energy. As a gorgeous catahoula/whippet mix, I have plenty of energy and I love to play! Fetch and chase games are my favorite . I am adoptable in Texas, I need to meet my family and you need to meet me! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

These pups are in Grayslake, Illinois too!
