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.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. **If you are interested in being considered for this dog, please be sure to complete an application directly on our website - not through a 3rd party service.* Welcome Mizzou!  The momma of our NCAA College Mascots litter!  She has raised all of her little mascots and is now ready to find her forever home.  Mizzou takes her name from the University of Missouri, located in Columbia, MO, a school that boasts students from all 50 states as well as several other countries!.   She was brought to rescue as a pregnant stray from Missouri.   Mizzou is an approximately 2 year old, 30 lb, spayed Pitbull / Whippet mix (we do not DNA test and this is our best guess).  Mizzou loves everyone she meets, but is a little shy at first so she tends to army crawl to you, to check you out and make sure you’re ok.  Once she’s done that, its all love, hugs and kisses from this girl.  Mizzou is good with other dogs, kids and even cats.  She is a calm and gentle girl.  She is crate trained and house broken, good on a leash and has learned several basic commands.   If you think you have room in your family for Mizzou, please fill out an application today! Mizzou’s adoption fee is $350 (includes age appropriate vaccines and microchip) *HWMAR presents the information in these bios based on our foster observations and any information presented to us regarding prior living conditions, breed specifications.

Story
Introducing the one and only Pedro, a name as vibrant as the Lone Star State itself! You see, Pedro is more than just a Spanish translation of Peter; it carries a certain charm that resonates with my lively spirit. Picture this: "Andele andele, Pedro!" Vamanos! Doesn't it have a ring of adventure and machismo? Now, let me share a bit about my journey. I've had a bumpy start, finding myself in a crowded hoarding situation surrounded by relatives galore. Parents, siblings, half-siblings, aunts, uncles, and even grandparents-it was quite the family reunion, but not the ideal environment, unless you're from Kentucky! As a result, I may still carry a hint of trepidation from my early days without much socialization. But fear not, for both I and my dedicated rescuers have been diligently working to help me blossom into a more confident and comfortable pooch, ready to embrace new experiences and encounters. The ideal home for me would be one that includes a confident and friendly canine companion, older children, or even a tranquil environment without kids. Love is the key ingredient, and if your home resonates with warmth and affection, then count me in! I also need a patient person or family, the confidence builder! So, what do you say? Take me under your wing, fill out that adoption application, and let's embark on an extraordinary journey together. We'll bid farewell to this mundane existence and embrace a world filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities. Together, we'll create our own adventure, leaving behind the ordinary and savoring the extraordinary. Pedro is ready, are you? Let's blow this popsicle stand and start a beautiful chapter of companionship and joy. Seize this chance to make a difference in both our lives, and let our paths intertwine in a symphony of love and happiness. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Meet Cassidy, the Charming Introvert! Get ready to fall in love with Cassidy, a pale white pup with captivating puppy eyes and a heart-shaped nose. Despite a challenging past where he navigated the streets and scrounged for survival, Cassidy's resilience shines through. Now, he's on a mission to find a loving home where he can feel safe and cherished. Cassidy is a dog with a gentle and timid personality. Loud noises and intense reactions make him nervous, and he prefers a calm and serene environment. He needs time to warm up to people and build trust before he feels comfortable and secure. This smart little guy knows some tricks already and is a well-mannered companion during feeding time. He's polite and respectful, showing his intelligence and willingness to please. Sitting on command is just one of the many tricks he has mastered. When it comes to relaxation, Cassidy's favorite spot is snuggled up on the couch or bed. He loves cozy naps and enjoys sleeping in when it's chilly or rainy outside. His head and ears are the sweet spots for scratches and cuddles, and he might even roll over for a belly rub! Cassidy is searching for someone who will shower him with love and understanding. While he respects cats and tolerates other dogs, he prefers his own space and will often retreat to a separate room. However, when the other dogs are not around, he comes out for attention and cuddles. He enjoys the quiet company of a select few men, seeming to have a preference for quieter individuals. It's important to note that Cassidy is not a fan of chaos, whether it's caused by humans or other dogs. He seeks a serene and calm environment where he can feel at ease. Car rides are a pleasure for him, as long as he is the sole rider and not in a crowded car with other dogs. To provide Cassidy with his ideal home, a single, quiet man with no other dogs or possibly a submissive dog that Cassidy meets and approves of would be the perfect match. An at-home social life that aligns with his introverted nature is preferable. While Cassidy tends to avoid general interaction and may not seek pets, hugs, or kisses, he has his moments of affection when he feels comfortable. Cassidy may be an introverted hermit, but beneath his reserved exterior lies a dog yearning for love and understanding. If you're someone who appreciates the quiet moments and can provide a calm and peaceful environment, Cassidy will reward you! (Only) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)
