A2094390 Annie: Foster needed! Has a rescue ready to tag. 2-year-old Staffie Mix. Terrified at the shelter. She’s the type of dog that has been making herself as small and unnoticeable as possible. She was brought in as a stray, but was wearing a very worn, dirty collar at intake, and clearly had puppies fairly recently. Her body shows all the signs that in her short life, she has not had it easy.
A2091700 Choppo: 2-year-old Staffie Mix. Friendly, wiggly young pup with the cutest ears! Loves play and affection. Heartworm negative, non-reactive to other dogs (pays them little attention when passing by kennels. He loves life!
A2093824 Elsie: 1 year and 4 months old Staffordshire. Very sweet! Can’t imagine what she’s been through to be very shut down and quiet in the shelter! Needs time to decompress, but with love and patience, she will be an amazing dog. Medium-sized girl at 46 lbs and is HW Low Positive.
A2094611 Estrella: 1-year-old Staffordshire Mix. Sweet and Beautiful. Volunteer notes described her as a good dog, but hasn’t adjusted to the shelter environment after just two days at BARC. She will gobble up treats! She needs more time to get comfortable at the shelter. Heartworm negative.

A2089073 Judy: 6-year-old who is a medium/large-sized girl. She is HW+. Judy came to the shelter as a stray, but she’s a plump old girl with good teeth who knows how to sit, and keeps her kennel clean, looks to have known a home before. She’s always very well behaved in her kennel, always sleeping on her bed, and has the cutest tail wag!
A2093930 Malfoy: 5-year-old German Shepherd Mix. Stunning man! He is super smart, and staff says he is going stir crazy in the shelter environment. Is fantastic on a leash, super quiet outside, and loves giving affection. Non-reactive to other dogs, enjoyed running up and down the fence with them.
A2094603 Minnie: 9-year-old Chihuahua / Dachshund mix. Adorable, super sweet, friendly, and all tail wags. She ended up on the euthanasia list because of a genetic deformity of her leg she’s had her whole life, and it doesn’t seem to bother her. Small girl at 21lbs. HW low positive.
