DAISY MAE A0979584 (Intake 1/04/09). Howdy! They call me DAISY MAE because someone said I look like a good ol' country dog. I'm a skinny little gal of about a year old with light brown spots on my body kind of like a Pointer. I love, love, love to run and play, especially chasing after tennis balls. I've got so much energy I'm looking for somebody who has lots of time to spend with me and a place with room for me to run. As you can see, I'm real cute and I like everybody I meet so why not come down to BARC and look me up? I'm spayed and microchipped and ready to go!

HOPPY A0979442 (Intake 1/4/09). Hello! I'm HOPPY to see you! They call me Hoppy because I've got more energy than the Energizer Bunny. I've also got big ears like a rabbit. I like to run as fast as I can around the play yard snatching up toys and trying to catch birds. Sometimes I lay in the grass real still like I'm hiding and when someone comes up to me I take off like a race car! I've been living at BARC since January and I'm really ready for a place of my own. I'm just a pup of about 6 months old and around 25 pounds, but I've already been neutered so I can leave today.

SQUIRT A0978998 (Intake 12/30/08). I'm just a little SQUIRT: I might look like a puppy but I'm all grown up! I'm only about 25 pounds and I won't grow much bigger. That means I'm the perfect size for someone who lives in an apartment or a townhouse. I'm very friendly and I love to be petted. I also like to play and go for walks, and I'm cute as can be--What more could you want? I've had all my shots, I'm neutered, microchipped, and heartworm free so you can take me home today. Contact Elizabeth at evitek@yahoo.com for more information.

Lex A893154;Chuey A893159; Arnie A893157; Rocky A893158. These pups have been in foster care since July 2008. They are 9 months old males, playful yet gentle. They love to go for walks, chew rawhides, play ball and swim. Each one has a favorite stuffed animal. They like to sniff kitties but are not aggressive. They like to be petted by all kinds of people and are good with other dogs. Lex will roll over for belly rubs. He has long hair and a bushy tail. Chuey is the alpha male, he tells everyone else what to do. Arnie is somewhat shy but will warm up quickly. Rocky is very well adjusted and just a nice dog. Their foster mom thinks they are shepherd/lab mixes and about 55 pounds. They are all neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all vaccinations. Contact Carla at carlaaggie82@msn.com for more information.

The adoption fee is only $55 for the dogs and cats includes: surgery for spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchipping and 1 year city license. What a deal for a lifelong friend!!
