Story
Hi, my name is Chopper or Chop as my foster Mom calls me! I was an owner surrender who ended up at the very scary city shelter. I sat there waiting for my former person to come back to get me, but they never did. I was pretty skittish when I got to my foster home but now I am settling in nicely. My foster Mom says I am a real sweetheart! I think I am a lap dog and will fall asleep with my head in her lap any chance I can get. Because I had a pretty rough start, I would do best in a home without small children or other pets. What can I bring to a new family? Well, I am crate trained and potty trained and neutered and up to date on all my shots! I have lots of love to give and will greet you always with a wagging tail. What am I looking for in a new furever home? I would like lots of cuddles and a gentle hand to pet me, a person or people to play and walk with, and a soft place to lay my head at night. And someone who will do some training with me so I know the boundaries and can fit well into your home! If you would be interested in meeting me, please fill out a pre adoption application or send an email and my foster Mom will get back to you just as quick as she can! XOXOXO-Chop

Story
I came from a backyard breeder, kept in a crate most of the day. I can’t believe that I’m out and that I now have a chance at life….but I don’t know anything else than being crated. I’m learning to walk on leash, I check out what people call toys but have no idea what they are for. Some of them make funny noises and they scare me a little. Everything is a discovery and every day, I learn a little. Even with everything that has happened to me, I always have a big smile.

Story
It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Walter! I like to greet people the old fashioned way, a tip of the nose, a meeting of the eyes, and a formal introduction of who I am. I've always kind of been an old-soul, at least that's what people tell me, with my wrinkled fur and gentle eyes. As an older gentleman I tend to have a bit more patience than these young whippersnapper pups. You'll find me waddling around quite slowly but my tail still wagging none the less! I have been known to snap when nervous, but I have come so far and I just need a little time and patience. Cause I just so want to be your big goofy friend! I have a soft and squishy face to go along with my squishy personality! I am great with my people and great with other dogs too. I am shy at the very first but am on the fast track to love! As a senior dog there's really only one thing I care about ... TREATS ... just kidding, it's being close to others. Being close to others helps remind me that I am here and my story is still being written with infinite possibilities. Perhaps you and I could write the next chapter together? 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)

These pups are in Barrington, Illinois too!

Bear

Boxer Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 2 yrs 3 mos
Barrington Hills, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bear is a very handsome, young boy looking for a forever home of his own. We believe he is a Boxer mix, sporting a very attractive dark brindle coat. We estimate Bear’s date of birth at February 10, 2021. At the time of this posting he is just under two years old. He is about 60 lbs. Bear loves people and he also loves eating almost anything. He is not so much a chewer, as a dog who likes to eat rocks, sticks, toys. As such, his new family will need to be vigilant to ensure Bear does not get himself into trouble, ingesting non-food items! Bear is active and energetic, typical of a big, young dog, and sometimes can get carried away with his play. He loves running in the secure, fenced yard of his foster home. He keeps himself entertained (but, watch out for him eating rocks, sticks, etc!!); he would not do well in a dog park or day care. We suggest he be an only dog. Given his size and energy level, Bear would not be an ideal canine companion for younger children. We expect children over the age of 12 would be ok. And of course, an all-adult home would be perfect for Bear! An ideal home for Bear is one in which he can thrive as an only dog, with a family experienced with larger dogs who sometimes can get out of hand. The family will also need to be vigilant when it comes to Bear’s tendency to seek out interesting things to eat. As is the case with all young, larger dogs, Bear would greatly benefit from obedience training which can also be a bonding experience with his new family. No doubt, Bear has the potential to evolve into the perfect pup, but is looking for that family willing to commit to him and provide him the forever home he deserves. Bear is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered & microchipped and on year-round heartworm prevention. To learn how you can add this handsome young boy to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. BAARK is located in the Chicago area and adopt our dogs only local to the area.

An ideal home for Brucie is one in which he can thrive as an only dog, with a family experienced with larger dogs who sometimes can get out of hand. Brucie’s only “watch-out” is that he can be a bit of a resource guarder with his food and bones, but this issue can readily be managed as he gets to know his new family and as they learn more about him!! As is the case with all young, larger dogs, Brucie would greatly benefit from obedience training which can also be a bonding experience with his new family. No doubt, Brucie has the potential to evolve into the perfect pup, but is looking for that family willing to commit to him and provide him the forever home he deserves.
