🐶 Behavior Notes:
Cody has shown he can be calm and quiet in his kennel, resting on his blanket, and has previously walked on a loose leash. More recently, he has been very vocal and over-aroused in the shelter, with pacing, panting, and jumping at kennel doors. His behavior appears to be affected by stress in this environment.
Cody is easily leashed, and on some walks he has moved comfortably without pulling hard. He needs a patient, experienced caregiver who can give him time to decompress and help him feel secure.

💖 Andrew is just 9 months old, and this sweet, affectionate boy is already fighting for his life. Shelter staff describe him as friendly and wiggly, with soft eyes, a happy tail, and a love for being close to people. After nearly a month in the shelter, he's showing signs of stress and frustration, but beneath that is a young dog who simply wants companionship and a place to feel safe. Andrew needs a patient foster or adopter who can give him time to decompress and help him through heartworm treatment. He's still just a puppy with his whole life ahead of him. Please don't let the shelter be the only home he ever knows. 💙

🆘💔 SHE HAS SO MUCH LOVE AND JOY TO GIVE — PLEASE DON'T LET HER RUN OUT OF TIME! 💔🆘

Meet Salami, a 4-year-old girl with a wonderfully happy, affectionate personality! Her shelter notes describe a wiggly body, a high wagging tail, happy feet, and a soft, smiling expression whenever staff approach. She gets so excited to see people that she sometimes bounces and hops with happiness! Despite all that enthusiasm, she has repeatedly shown that she can walk nicely on a loose leash and is easy for staff to handle. ❤️

Salami is heartworm-negative, but she is currently being treated for a treatable upper respiratory infection (URI). She deserves the chance to recover in a safe, loving environment instead of spending another day in the stressful shelter. Sadly, Salami is on the euthanasia list for TODAY, Saturday, October 10. BARC will not grant extensions. This joyful girl urgently needs someone to step up for her before it is too late. 🥺🆘

💜 Volunteer Notes — Intake:

Katara came into BARC as a stray on 10/8. She was just 9 weeks old and arrived with significant medical concerns, including widespread hair loss and an injury to her right hind leg. Her intake condition was classified as severe.

📝 Shelter Notes:

No behavioral evaluations have been documented for Katara.

🚑 Medical Notes:

  • 10/8: Katara weighed 11.5 lbs and received a 4/9 medical assessment. Veterinary staff noted that her right hind leg appeared to be broken. She was also experiencing significant hair loss across her entire body.
  • 10/8: A veterinary examination documented widespread hair loss and lameness, with Katara unable to bear weight on her right hind leg. A skin scraping was performed and returned negative. The veterinarian assessed her skin condition as dermatitis, potentially associated with flea allergy dermatitis.
  • Flea medication was administered, and carprofen was prescribed for pain and inflammation.
  • The veterinarian recommended rescue placement for further diagnostics and treatment.
  • She received routine intake vaccines, deworming, and flea prevention.

💖 SHE'S ONLY 9 WEEKS OLD — PLEASE DON'T LET THIS BABY'S LIFE END BEFORE IT BEGINS! 💔🐾

Katara should be discovering the world, playing with toys, and learning what it feels like to be safe and loved. Instead, this tiny 11.5-pound puppy is facing a heartbreaking medical struggle and an urgent deadline at the shelter.

Her right hind leg appears to be broken, and she has been unable to put weight on it. She is also dealing with extensive hair loss and skin irritation. She needs further diagnostics and veterinary treatment, and she deserves the opportunity to receive that care without her life hanging in the balance.

🙏 Katara needs a RESCUE willing to take responsibility for her medical care, pledges to help cover expenses, and a LOCAL FOSTER who can provide a safe, comfortable place for her to recover.

Imagine being so small and so young, already in pain, with your whole life still ahead of you. Katara cannot ask for help herself. We have to speak up for her.

💗 She deserves the chance to heal, grow, play, and become the happy dog she was meant to be. Please help find the rescue and foster she urgently needs. She should have a future—not a deadline. 💙🐶

🚨 RESCUE ONLY — A RESCUE GROUP MUST TAG HER TO SAVE HER LIFE.

🏷️ This puppy can only be tagged by a rescue group. Rescues need committed fosters to take in dogs like Katara and help them recover. She cannot be fostered or adopted directly through the shelter. If you can foster locally, please message the page urgently so a rescue may be able to step forward.

🆘💔 MEET TAQUITO — A BIG, FLUFFY LOVEBUG WHO JUST WANTS SOMEONE TO LOVE! 💔🆘

At 4 years old and 94.4 lbs, Taquito is a big boy with an even bigger personality! Shelter staff have repeatedly described this Labrador Retriever Mix as friendly, affectionate, and full of sweet energy. He greets people with soft eyes, a happy open-mouth smile, and a tail that just keeps wagging. He enjoys human interaction and has allowed staff to leash and pet him without issues. 💙🐾

Taquito can get overexcited, especially when leaving his kennel, and may jump, bounce, zigzag, or pull on the leash. But he has also shown that he can walk more calmly, and on his most recent walk he moved forward without pulling. This enthusiastic boy needs a home where he can settle in, learn routines, and enjoy positive, patient guidance.

He is currently being treated for an upper respiratory infection and is heartworm high-positive, so he will need veterinary care and heartworm treatment. Despite these medical needs, Taquito deserves the chance to leave the shelter behind and experience the comfort and security of a loving home.

🆘⏰ URGENT DEADLINE — SATURDAY, 10/10 ⏰🆘

TAQUITO (#A2099022) NEEDS A HOLD BY 1 PM TODAY!

  • 9/30: Taquito weighed 94.4 lbs. His intake examination described him as an intact male. His heartworm test was high-positive, indicating an infection that will require veterinary follow-up and treatment. He received routine shelter vaccinations, deworming, and parasite prevention.

💖 TAQUITO DESERVES A HOME, NOT A DEADLINE.

This big, fluffy boy has repeatedly shown staff his friendly, people-oriented side. His wiggly body, soft eyes, happy smile, and constantly wagging tail paint the picture of a dog who loves attention and wants to connect with people. His enthusiasm can sometimes overwhelm him, particularly when coming out of his kennel, but he has also demonstrated that he can walk more calmly.

Taquito has medical needs: he is being treated for a respiratory infection and will need veterinary care for his heartworm infection. A rescue and foster who can help him through treatment and provide a stable environment could make all the difference.

Please don't let this affectionate boy run out of time before he gets the chance to know the safety and love of a home. He needs a rescue, pledges, and a local foster to help make that possible. Please share and help Taquito get his second chance! 💙🐾

🆘💔 SHE HAS SO MUCH LOVE AND JOY TO GIVE — PLEASE DON'T LET HER RUN OUT OF TIME! 💔🆘

Meet Salami, a 4-year-old girl with a wonderfully happy, affectionate personality! Her shelter notes describe a wiggly body, a high wagging tail, happy feet, and a soft, smiling expression whenever staff approach. She gets so excited to see people that she sometimes bounces and hops with happiness! Despite all that enthusiasm, she has repeatedly shown that she can walk nicely on a loose leash and is easy for staff to handle. ❤️

Salami is heartworm-negative, but she is currently being treated for a treatable upper respiratory infection (URI). She deserves the chance to recover in a safe, loving environment instead of spending another day in the stressful shelter. Sadly, Salami is on the euthanasia list for TODAY, Saturday, October 10. BARC will not grant extensions. This joyful girl urgently needs someone to step up for her before it is too late. 🥺🆘

⏰ URGENT: SALAMI [#A2097219] MUST HAVE A HOLD PLACED NO LATER THAN 1 PM TODAY, OR SHE RISKS LOSING HER LIFE.

🙏 WE NEED PLEDGES AND A LOCAL FOSTER FOR A RESCUE TO HELP SAVE HER! Please help us give Salami the chance she deserves. She has so much happiness to share — she just needs someone to give her a chance. 💰🏡🩷

🚩 PLEASE DO NOT HONOR PLEDGES UNTIL THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH RESCUE INFORMATION AND A FREEDOM PICTURE. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.

🩷🐶 SALAMI — #A2097219

  • Breed listed in the record: Staffordshire Mix
  • Sex: Female
  • Age: 4 years
  • Weight: 72 lbs
  • Heartworm status: Negative
  • 🎥 VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE COMMENTS

💜 VOLUNTEER NOTES

📝 SHELTER NOTES

  • 10/5: Salami greeted staff with happy feet and panting. She was easily leashed and walked on a semi-tight leash. She was very excited, circling with a wagging tail, and was not interested in treats. Staff later observed her resting on her bed.
  • 10/4: She greeted staff with a relaxed body, high wagging tail, and happy feet. She walked on a loose leash, occasionally jumping around. She was sometimes vocal throughout the day, but not consistently.
  • 10/3: She was vocal in her kennel during morning feeding and cleaning. She greeted staff with a relaxed body, high wagging tail, and soft, open mouth with a loose tongue. She walked on a loose leash, occasionally jumping around, and moved in and out of the South building without issues.
  • 10/2: She was vocal in her kennel during morning feeding and cleaning. She displayed a very wiggly body, a soft, smiling mouth, and a loose tongue while bouncing around. She walked on a loose leash while happily hopping around.
  • 10/1: She was vocal in her kennel during morning feeding and cleaning. She displayed a wiggly body, tippy-tapping front feet, wagging tail, soft open mouth, and loose tongue. She walked on a semi-loose leash into and out of the South building.

🩺 MEDICAL NOTES

  • 10/7: Staff observed hacking and clear nasal discharge. Salami was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and moved to treatment. Doxycycline 300 mg once daily for 10 days was prescribed.
  • 9/27: Salami weighed 72 lbs. Her initial medical examination was documented as normal. She tested heartworm-negative.

💖 PLEASE GIVE SALAMI A CHANCE AT HAPPINESS!

Salami's enthusiasm for life shines through in her shelter notes. She greets people with a wagging tail, happy little hops, and a soft, smiling expression. She has repeatedly shown that she can walk nicely on a loose leash and is easy for staff to handle. Although she can be vocal in her kennel, particularly during busy feeding and cleaning times, she has also been observed resting quietly on her bed.

She is currently receiving treatment for a respiratory infection, and her heartworm test was negative. A foster or adopter who can offer her patience, positive attention, and time to settle into a predictable routine could give her the fresh start she desperately needs.

Please help us save this happy, affectionate girl! We urgently need a local foster and pledges for a rescue willing to step up. If you can help, please act now — her deadline is TODAY, and there will be no extensions. Please share her story. Salami deserves to experience the joy of having a family of her own. 🩷🐾

10/6 Stray | Alaskan Husky Mix | Male | 8 Years | 56 lbs | Heartworm Negative
💜 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
We were not able to meet him, but if you want to help meet the animals, please reach out to us!
🔷Intake:
He came into BARC on 10/6 after a citizen reported a large black, gray and white Husky who would not leave her property. The citizen reported that he was growling and appeared to have been injured over the weekend.
📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
10/6: The intake report stated that he was growling at a citizen and would not leave her property. He appeared to be injured.
No additional behavioral evaluations were provided in his shelter record.
🚑𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
10/8: He weighed 56 lbs and received a 5/9 injured medical assessment.
10/7: Medical staff documented an injury to his right hind leg. He was not bearing weight on the leg, and it was painful to the touch.
10/7: Staff noted that he was stiff when rising from a lying position, was not bearing weight on his right hind limb and had moderate muscle atrophy. He was prescribed Carprofen 100 mg once daily for 7 days for pain and inflammation. Radiographs were planned for 10/8.
Heartworm Negative.
Received routine intake vaccines, deworming and flea prevention.
💖 Garrus is an 8-year-old Husky should be spending his senior years somewhere safe and comfortable, not facing euthanasia while suffering from a painful leg injury. He arrived at BARC after being found on someone's property, where he was reportedly growling and refusing to leave. We now know that he has a significant injury to his right hind leg, is unable to bear weight on it and has moderate muscle atrophy. It's likely that his growling was influenced by pain, fear and the vulnerability of being injured in an unfamiliar place. Unfortunately, we have no additional behavioral notes to tell us what he's like when he feels safe and comfortable. What we do know is that this older boy is hurting and needs help. At 8 years old, he still deserves the chance to experience love, comfort and security. He shouldn't lose his life simply because he was found injured and frightened. He needs someone willing to see beyond his circumstances and give him the care and compassion he deserves.

10/2/2026: wagging tail, confident forward steps on leash. Went out to runs and back with semi-tight leash.
10/4/2026: dog was in front of the kennel very vocal and when i walked her she walked semi tight to the runs and coming back she kept trying to jump on me and walk foward on the leash and in the afternoon she kept standing on the kennel door and just being very vocal.
10/5/2026: Was jumping on kennel door upon approach, once leashed she walked out loosely but then would turn around and jump towards me. Once she was in the runs she was a bit vocal and jumpy on fence. Once I leashed her bac up to bring her back in she was constantly jumping up towards my face. Had to walk her on a short leash I was unable to distract her with treats.
10/6/2026: Sally is standing on kennel door as I approach kennel. Once she placed on all 4 on the floor I leashed her up, she bolted out of kennel. I decided due to her previous behavior I placed her in the very large run so she can have more space to run around. Once I came back for her she came running and began to whine and whimper as I was trying to leash her up. She would then continue to jump up on me continuously. I would try to redirect her but was unable to distract her. Once back in kennel she would jump on kennel door and whimper.

💙🐶 Glenn #A2077131
9/26/2026 Foster Return | German Shepherd Mix | Neutered Male | 10 Months | 37.8 lbs | Heartworm Negative

💖 Glenn has a lot of puppy energy, but his earlier shelter notes show a friendly, treat-motivated dog who can walk well on leashy and enjoys enrichment.

Back in May and June, Glenn was described as friendly, patient and wiggly, taking treats gently, sitting and wagging when staff approached and enjoying his enrichment. He repeatedly walked well on a loose leash.

Since returning from foster, the shelter environment has clearly been much more difficult for him. Glenn is frequently vocal in his kennel, jumps at the kennel door and becomes excited when people or dogs pass. He can pull on leash and has been mouthy at times when excited.

Even so, his recent notes continue to show positive engagement with people. On 9/29, he greeted staff at the front of his kennel with a loose, wiggly body, soft eyes and fast-wagging tail and was easily leashed. On 9/26, he walked semi-loosely with a swaying tail and open mouth and could be redirected with treats.

Glenn is still a 10-month-old puppy, and much of what is being seen now appears tied to his high energy and kennel arousal. He needs a committed home or rescue willing to provide structure, exercise, training and an environment where he can settle.

🩺 Medically, Glenn is heartworm negative, neutered and his most recent exam was documented as normal. He has received routine vaccinations, deworming and flea prevention.

🆘 Please help Glenn by sharing this post and reaching out immediately if you can rescue, foster locally, adopt through a rescue, or pledge toward his placement. DM OP or u/BanditY77 so we can help get things moving.

🩷🐶 Luna #A2095545
9/13 Euth Request | American Staffordshire Mix | Female | 3 Years | 49 lbs | Heartworm High Positive

💖 Luna's notes are full of personality.

A shelter volunteer described Luna as a dog who could “steal your heart in mere minutes.” In the videos mentioned in the notes, Luna was seen rolling on the ground and gently pushing the volunteer's partner backward to cuddle in the grass. She was described as goofy, joyful, expressive and very affectionate.

Luna greeted the volunteer with a happy smile and goofy energy, and she has continued to show friendly behavior in the shelter. She knows sit, is very treat-motivated and may be quick to train.

She also did well during a temporary dog-to-dog assessment. The volunteer noted that Luna actually helped a shy dog come out of his shell, and by the end of their meet-and-greet he offered a play bow.

Her shelter notes consistently describe a wagging tail, wiggly body and friendly engagement. She has repeatedly allowed staff to leash her and has walked on loose or semi-loose leash at different times. She can become vocal, jumpy or mouthy when overstimulated, so she will need a foster or adopter prepared to provide patience, structure, activity and calm handling.

🩺 Luna is heartworm high positive and is currently being treated for CIRD/URI. She was prescribed doxycycline after developing sneezing, hacking and clear nasal discharge. She will need continued medical follow-up and heartworm treatment after leaving BARC.

💔 A volunteer who knows Luna says she is only on the list because of length of stay and having a cold. Her record also shows that she can be an affectionate, social and incredibly fun dog when given attention and a chance to be herself.

⏰ HOLD DEADLINE: Wednesday, 10/7 at 1 PM. Kylan #A2098420 must have a hold by then or he will lose his life. 🥺 We need pledges and a local foster or adopter for a rescue to help. 💰🏡

💙🐶 Kylan #A2098420
9/28/2026 Stray | Siberian Husky Mix | Male | 5 Years | 38 lbs | Heartworm Negative

💖 Kylan's shelter notes show encouraging interactions with people, even though the shelter environment is clearly stressful for him.

On 10/1, he greeted staff at the front of his kennel with a loose, wiggly body, soft eyes, open mouth and swaying tail. He was easily leashed, walked outside on a loose leash and returned to his kennel without difficulty.

On 10/4 and 10/5, Kylan was pacing in front of his kennel and showing signs of stress. He pulled somewhat on leash, but staff were able to walk him and work with him. On 10/6, he again greeted staff at the front of his kennel and was able to be redirected with treats when he pulled on leash.

⚠️ Kylan has also been documented fighting with the dog across from his kennel, so his interactions with other dogs will need to be carefully managed and assessed.

Medically, Kylan is heartworm negative. He was vaccinated, dewormed and given flea prevention. His weight was documented as 38 lbs on 9/29 and 10/1, with an underweight assessment noted on 9/29.

💔 Kylan appears to be experiencing significant kennel stress, but he has also repeatedly shown friendly, engaged behavior with staff. He needs a calmer environment where he can decompress and where his behavior can be better assessed outside the stress of the shelter.

🆘 RESCUES: PLEASE TAG KYLAN IF YOU CAN SAVE HIM.
🏡 LOCAL FOSTERS: A foster could be the missing piece that allows a rescue to take him.
💰 PLEDGES: Please pledge to help support a rescue willing to step up.
❤️ ADOPTERS: Kylan can be adopted through an approved rescue.

His hold deadline is Wednesday, 10/7 at 1 PM. There will be no extension.

📩 Please don't wait for someone else to step up. If you are a rescue, local foster, or adopter who can help through a rescue, please reach out NOW. DM OP or u/BanditY77 so we can help get things moving immediately.

When I tell you that this is one of the happiest, most wiggly butt little pitties I have met that is no lie! She was so happy to come out of her kennel when I met her I was able to leash her pretty easily. She walked well on the leash although had a little bit of jumping initially, but I think it’s cause she was excited to be out.

The sad part is she has some kind of injury to her leg and this is why she has landed on the euthanasia list. I did notice she is bearing weight on it and she’s jumping up and down using that leg. Despite the injury she doesn’t appear to be in any pain. Her tail literally never stops wagging. You can see it in the videos that I did of her.

I instantly fell in love with her as well as another volunteer. She has a gorgeous gray coat and such a sweet face. She did wonderfully with other dogs. She seemed to just want to play. She met two other female dogs.

I hope and pray this sweet girl makes it out of the shelter and she doesn’t pay with her life due to a leg injury.

This poor baby was found roaming at a gas station with an injury to his leg. When I took him out, he was so gentle and sweet. Such a good boy. He’s a little shy, but he listened very well and took treats gently. He actually took treats and sometimes laid them on the ground instead of eating them. His leg didn’t seem to bother him at all. Even at one point he jumped up on the bench.

I loved spending time with him because he’s like an old soul that you just want to sit with all day and spend time with. He’s obviously had a hard life and he’s probably lived outside most of his life with nobody loving him.

I just can’t imagine him not making it out tomorrow after having such a terrible life and being in a shelter for less than a week. To be euthanized because of an injury that he’s obviously had and lived with is devastating.

I was not able to do a temperament test; however, he did see other dogs and did not react at all. If a rescue is truly interested in him, I have no problem going to the shelter and obtaining a temperament test on him. He’s a good boy and I hope he can find that forever home that he deserves. 💜

💜 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
How incredibly sad it is to see an 11 year-old sweet girl with a frosted face at the shelter. It’s even worse now to see her on the euthanasia list. When I approached her in her kennel, she was lying on her blanket and actually didn’t want to wake up. She was snoring. I took it as I wasn’t gonna be able to take her outside however I walked back by her kennel and she had her face in the front of the kennel. So I decided to take her out. I went to leash her, and she was very easy to leash and she seemed happy to know that somebody had noticed her. She’s incredibly sweet and gentle. You can tell she’s had a very rough life. Her skin is raw on her back. Her tail is missing it hair and she’s just got generalized dermatitis all over her body. With everything going on, she is nothing but sweet and loving. She took treats very gently however I had to cut them up a little smaller so that she could chew them. She did great with her temperament test with scared girl. I can’t imagine this girl losing her life in a shelter after everything she’s been through. I really hope somebody will give her a chance and let her live out the rest of her life whatever time she has left in a loving home.
