Pepper

This sweet, four year old black Labrador named Pepper needs a loving home! Her owners are moving out of the country and were going to have her euthanized until a good Samaritan came to her rescue! She is going to be spayed in a week and following her surgery she will be ready for her new adoptive/foster family!

Pepper is wonderful with children of all ages and other pets. Please see attached pictures . . if you know of anyone who might be interested in providing a good home for Pepper, please let me know!

Buddy

Buddy ID#861271 - Buddy is a 5 month old lab/hound mix. He is house trained, cat, dog and kid friendly and the most loyal boy imaginable. He walks well on a leash, is kennel trained, sits and drops things on command. His favorite thing to do is sleep on your feet or put his head in your lap. He is getting pretty good at retrieving and enjoys a lake to swim in. He is a wonderful companion. E-mail Elizabeth at elimedwick@yahoo.com for all the details about Buddy.

Sammy

Sammy ID#A866326 - Sammy is the perfect pup. PetSmart Adoption Counselor Kelly is not sure why he is still at BARC! She was with him on Saturday at the 290 PetSmart and she decided we needed to highlight this great pup! She said, "he is adorable, sweet and a cuddle bug, what more could you want?" Sammy is about 4 months old and still has a lot of growing to do. He was turned in on August 1st. He has spent too much of his puppy life at BARC! Are you the family that would be perfect for Sammy? If so e-mail Kelly at kellykm22@yahoo.com

Bo

Bo ID#A869705 - Bo needs a foster family ASAP! He has a tumor on his "privates" that needs to be examined and addressed. The surgery can most likely be performed at BARC, but he will need a clean calm place to heal. He is a sweet Collie/Chocolate Retriever mix that smiles every time you walk by. His tumor gives some discomfort, but he still loves to run and play with the other dogs in the yard. If you are interested in fostering Bo and helping him through his neuter surgery that will be a little more extensive than most, he (and his volunteer friends) would be forever
grateful! For more information on fostering Bo e-mail Julie at juliekeaton5@aol.com

Trixie

Trixie ID#A867872 - Trixie is a sweet Poodle mix that has had a rough start! She has contracted a cold at BARC, but is on the mend. She is looking for a forever home to get her out of the kennel environment permanently! Trixie is about 4 years old and she has a lot of life left in her! Heather will fill you in on ALL of Trixie's details! Just give her a call at 832-641-6936.

K.C.

K.C. (a.k.a. Tripod) ID#A868714 - K.C. was turned in to BARC by his owner on September 1st. He said he could no longer afford to care for him. : (

K.C. is special in MANY ways, he is sweet, gentle and playful! The other more obvious trait is that he only has 3 legs. We are not sure if he lost his leg after an accident or if he was born without, but either way he doesn't care! He is a happy-go-lucky dog that is ready for a forever family! He is an alpha dog so it would be best if he was the first dog and helped to raise any other dogs from "puppy hood." ; ) If you would like more info on K.C. e-mail Paige at paigejm@aol.com

Ralphy's Been Adopted

Thanks to the persistance of the great volunteers looking after him and Ralphy's natural charm he has finally found his forever home!

The following is a note to volunteer Nancy from his adoptive family: "I am so glad we adopted Ralphy. He is such a sweet dog. At first, he seemed a little skittish about all the chaos & noise my kids create. But he settled in very well and seems to like living with us. We all adore him. He's doing really well -- eating better and has gained a little over 2 pounds. An especially cute thing he does is carry my daughter's stuffed animals around in his mouth. He doesn't chew on them, he just carries them around to different rooms and he likes to lay with them. He has attached himself to one little stuffed dog that he sleeps with. It's very cute.
Thanks again for encouraging me to adopt Ralphy -- he's great. "

Charleston

860968-Charleston- 8 month old lab/mix. Very playful, loads of fun, wants to do silly things to get your attention. Volunteer Dog Walker Margaret says, "He gets along with other dogs. He is medium to medium high energy. He could benefit from some obedience training. Definitely needs regular exercise/mental stimulation. He needs a job like being someone's running/walking buddy."
