Introducing Hershey and Lil P! They are adoption candidates at BARC. They don't want your vote...they want your friendship and a forever home!

EVERYBODY LOVES CHOCOLATE! HERSHEY has very unique eyes - one blue and one brown. He has the beautiful chocolate color of a Labrador Retriever, but the thick fur and bushy tail of a Husky. HERSHEY also has lots of energy--LOTS and lots of energy! He will need an active home where he gets plenty of exercise and has lots to do. When you meet him he'll be hopping around in his kennel like mad, but that's just because he's so happy to see you he can't wait to get out and make friends. HERSHEY is still a youngster at 11 months old. He's had all his shots and tested heartworm negative. All he needs now is a forever home! Look for HERSHEY at BARC in South A Ward, I.D. number A0998298.

IS IT A BIRD? A PLANE? A CRUMPLED UP PIECE OF PAPER? Everything is a potential toy for LIL' P! This wily 6 month old is still in the kitten phase where her life is all about playing and exploring new things. LIL' P would be a great companion for another playful cat as she loves teasing the other cats and trying to make them join in her shenanigans. Although she's just a youngster, LIL' P is already spayed and microchipped. She has fluffy, medium-length fur and pretty green eyes. Adopt LIL' P today and get ready to have fun! Look for LIL' P at BARC in the open adoption room in the North Building, ID number A0991126.
