Darling little BOBBY used to live in a very busy household which included 4 adults, a child, a large male dog, medium female dog, and a cat. He was described as a very loyal boy who loved spending time with his family. But now a family member has said he must go! Bobby was tolerant of the 10 year old child in the home. He was friendly and outgoing with the other dogs, and with the cat. Bobby prefers contact on his own terms and is hoping to find a patient and experienced person who will understand his needs and preferences. A slow approach together with some gentle guidance will go a long way to help Bobby feel more comfortable. Help him brush up on his manners and be the best he can be!

He is also reported to react defensively when startled. During intake, Bobby barked at an unfamiliar staff member but settled when ignored and offered treats. He also growled when his owner attempted to remove his harness. Additionally, Bobby has a reported bite history involving his owner during harnessing, resulting in a skin-breaking scrape after Bobby growled and briefly held on. Bobby is reported to love his head scratched Medically, Bobby has a cherry eye.

Bobby came into the care center as an owner surrender due to his behavioral concerns and landlord no longer wanting him in the home. Bobby prior owners noted that he prefers contact on their own terms, Aloof/Mellow, Social/Affectionate, Vocal.Due to all noted concerns displayed in a home environment, the behavior department recommends Bobby be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Bobby to acclimate comfortably to his new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Bobby to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Bobby presents with outside of the care centers.

INTAKE NOTES—Date of Intake: 30-May-2026

Upon intake, Bobby barked at staff member who entered the room but stopped when treats were tossed and when staff ignored him. When owner attempted to remove harness, Bobby began growling so the owner pulled off the harness using the leash. He allowed staff to take the leash and walk back to medical. While walking, Bobby had a mid-raised tail that wagged softly when spoken to. Medical staff handled for vaccines and Bobby growled throughout the interaction. He allowed staff to walk back to kennel without issue.

OWNER SURRENDER NOTES—BASIC INFORMATION

Bobby is being surrendered after 7 years—the owner lives with her parents and her father no longer wants Bobby in the home. The landlord says he must go due to his destructive tendencies. Bobby used to live with 4 adults, a 10 year old child, a male Golden Labrador Retriever, a female Cocker Spaniel, and a cat. He was tolerant with the child. Bobby is friendly and outgoing and excited with familiar dogs. He is shy with unfamiliar dogs. He is friendly and outgoing with cats. Bobby doesn’t like to share his food. One time last year Bobby growled when his owner was trying to put on his harness. She persisted so he bit her, leaving a scrape. Bobby goes to the bathroom on wee wee pads. He doesn’t care for strangers who approach his yard or come near his door; he may have separation anxiety; he pulls hard on the leash and does not go on walks; and has destructive tendencies with furniture, walls, shoes, and household items. He prefers contact on his own terms and does not like his paws touched or collar grabbed. He allows his family to bathe and brush him, and the groomer comes to the home where he sometimes growls/snaps. He has never been in a car and has not been taught any cues. He was fed dry Cesar dog food. He does not like treats or toys. Overall he is described as a very loyal dog who spends time around his family. He loves his head scratched when he allows family to touch him.

During bath time Bobby has snapped at the client's mom, once in the past . He now allows grooming and the groomer comes to home.
Bobby growls at the mop and broom when someone is cleaning. She has not tried redirection or placing him in another room which I advised for the mean time.

She notes that her father does redirect with high value treats because Bobby doesn't eat dog treats . Owner also notes that her mother left to Mexico recently and her father who is out of work was helping care for Bobby. She explained that there have never been any bites or attempts toward her dad.

SHELTER ASSESSMENT SUMMARIES: Date of assessment: 6/13/2026

Due to Bobby's defensive behavior and touch sensitivity in the prior home, a handling assessment will not be conducted at this time.

PLAYGROUP SUMMARIES: DOG TO DOG:

According to Bobby's previous owner(s), he is friendly and outgoing, jumps up, and is overly excited with familiar dogs. He is shy, preferring contact on his own terms, alert barks, and jumps up at unfamiliar dogs on leash. He has no experience with unfamiliar dogs off leash. He is reported to have lived with a large male dog and a medium female dog.

06/15/26 Bobby is introduced to a novel female while off leash. He readily approaches the gate and will sniff the female with a neutral frame before demand barking and then jumping up on handler exuberantly. When the gate is opened, Bobby readily approaches the female with a forward frame and she backs away. Bobby disengages and will mark along the yard as the female stands neutrally nearby. When he approaches again, she quickly backs away so Bobby is guided away from the female.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:

06/29/26: Bobby is at the front of his kennel as the handler approaches. The handler is able to leash him with ease, and Bobby puts a paw on the handler's shoulder before the handler can lift him out of kennel. He is brought outside for a walk. He jumps up on the handler's legs frequently at the beginning of the walk, but then finds a partially chewed beef trachea on the sidewalk and picks it up. Carrying the chew in his mouth, Bobby walks briskly at the end of the leash. When returning to the building, the handler is able to exchange the chew for a high value treat. After that, the handler is able to pick him up, return him to kennel, and un-leash him with no issue.

6/22/26: Bobby is at the front of his kennel as the handler approaches. He will attempt to push out of kennel as the handler leashes him and will then jump out of kennel as the handler goes to pick him up. He is carried out of kennel and is then placed on the ground where he will begin to jump onto the handler's legs as they walk out of the Care Center. He will pull towards dogs but is able to be redirected. He will walk ahead of the handler, pulling mildly against the leash towards objects on the ground. Towards the end of the walk, Bobby will take some treats from the handler and catches some that are tossed to him. He is returned to kennel with no issue and secured safely.

06/15/26 (PG): Bobby is at the front of his kennel as the handler approaches. He jumps up repeatedly, but the handler is able to leash him and bring him outside. In the yard, Bobby will jump up on the legs of various handlers. After his interaction, Bobby is returned to his kennel without issue.

Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Bobby presents with outside of the care centers.

Potential challenges:
Resource Guarding, Destructive behavior, Handling/touch sensitivity, Basic manners/poor impulse control, Separation anxiety/Anxiety, Fearful/potential for defensive aggression/On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration, Strength/leash pulling, Bite history (human)

Potential challenges comments:
Resource guarding: In the prior home, Bobby was reported to guard his food, displaying growling, hard barking, a tense body posture, and hovering over his food bowl when approached. It is essential to work on desensitizing him to having his possessions handled by using techniques like trading up for higher-value items and practicing "drop it" and "leave it". Please see handout on Resource guarding.

Destructive behavior: In the prior home, Bobby was reported to engage in destructive behaviors involving household items, furniture, walls, and shoes.

Handling/touch sensitivity: Bobby has significant handling sensitivities and has displayed growling, barking, lunging, snapping, and biting when physically restrained or handled. He has reacted negatively when pushed or pulled off furniture, when his paws are touched, and when his collar is grabbed. Although he allows familiar family members to bathe and brush him, he has escalated during grooming procedures by growling, barking, snapping, and attempting to bite.

Basic manners/poor impulse control: Bobby is reported to frequently jump on people.Consistent training to teach him to sit or stay when greeting people, using positive reinforcement and redirection, will help manage this behavior. Please see the handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control.

Separation anxiety/Anxiety:In the prior home, Bobby was described as generally anxious, displaying excessive barking, pacing, whining, difficulty settling, and signs of distress when left alone. Please see the handout on Separation anxiety and generalized anxiety.

Fearful/potential for defensive aggression/On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Reacts to on walks: Bobby has a history of reacting to strangers, particularly unfamiliar men. His owners reported that he will hard bark, growl, lunge, snap, and attempt to bite when male strangers approach the home, yard, or family members. He is also reported to react defensively when startled, responding with growling, barking, and snapping.Upon intake, Bobby barked at staff member who entered the room but stopped when treats were tossed and when staff ignored him. When owner attempted to remove harness, Bobby began growling so the owner pulled off the harness using the leash. Bobby's body language and behavior suggest discomfort around unfamiliar people, and his warning signals should be respected. Please see the handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression/On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration.

Strength/leash pulling: Bobby is reported to pull strongly on leash and will benefit from continued training focused on loose-leash walking and engagement with his handler. Please see the hand out on Strength/leash pulling.

Bite history (human): see bite hsitory.

🆘🩵 TOBY IS TERRIFIED. HE NEEDS A CHANCE, NOT A DEATH SENTENCE. 🩵🆘
Toby (#A2083040) is only 1 year old.
This young Shar Pei mix found himself alone on the streets, and now he is facing euthanasia before he’s even had the chance to experience what a loving home feels like.
💔 Toby isn’t shutting down because he’s a bad dog.
He’s shutting down because he’s scared.
🐶 TOBY #A2083040
🩵 Chinese Shar Pei Mix
🩵 Male
🩵 1 Year Old
🩵 48.8 lbs
🩵 Heartworm Negative
Shelter staff have observed a frightened young dog who needs patience and understanding.
Despite his fear, Toby has shown moments of trust and affection:
✨ Wagging tail
✨ Soft facial expressions
✨ Accepts petting
✨ Responds to gentle encouragement and baby talk
✨ Relaxed enough to lie on his side against a handler ❤️
One shelter note described Toby following a handler after being encouraged with baby talk, then settling down and resting against them once he felt safe.
That dog is still in there.
The shelter environment is simply overwhelming him.
Like many frightened dogs, Toby struggles when stressed and has reacted strongly around other dogs. What he urgently needs is a calm environment where he can decompress and feel secure.
He is also being treated for a cherry eye and conjunctivitis—conditions that are manageable and treatable.

Bruno is only alive today because of quick-thinking rescuers and Raiden’s Haven, who intercepted him right before he was scheduled to be euthanized. He was given a lifeline, but now he is stuck in boarding, and we cannot cover the costs indefinitely. He desperately needs a hero.

🐾 Meet Bruno!

Age: 5 years old (turns 6 in January)

Personality: Handsome, very well-behaved, loving, and fiercely loyal once he knows you.

Dog-friendly: Yes! He loves dog parks, walks, and playing with other dogs.

Cat-friendly: Not a fan of cats.

Kid-friendly: Good with older, respectful kids. No young children.

💔 Bruno's StoryBruno was a beloved family dog, but active young kids in the home repeatedly pulled at his tail and ears. Bruno gave a small head shake—which was labeled a "nip"—to ask them to stop. No harm was done, but it became a death sentence. An appointment was made to euthanize him.

Rescuers stepped in to save him, but two back-to-back foster placements fell through (one due to landlord restrictions). With nowhere else to go, Bruno had to go into commercial boarding.

📉 The Current SituationBruno is not adjusting well to the isolation of a kennel. He is becoming depressed, and we fear the longer he stays there, the more his wonderful personality will fade. He does beautifully during playtime but shuts down in his run. He cannot end up back at the shelter.

🆘💙 MILLER IS LOSING HIS LIFE FOR BEING STRESSED IN A SHELTER 💙🆘
Miller (#A2081273) is a 7-year-old Staffy mix who was surrendered by his owner and now finds himself on BARC’s euthanasia list.
The shelter environment has become overwhelming for him, but underneath the barking and kennel stress is a sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be with people.
🐶 MILLER #A2081273
💙 Staffordshire Mix
💙 Male
💙 7 Years Old
💙 63 lbs
💙 Heartworm Negative
Staff consistently describe Miller as:
✨ Wiggly and friendly
✨ Easy to leash
✨ Walks well on leash
✨ Loves human interaction
✨ Relaxed outside of his kennel
✨ Sweet and affectionate
One of the most telling notes described Miller greeting staff with “tappy paws” and a wiggly body when they approached. ❤️
Another noted that after returning to his kennel, he calmly laid down and relaxed.
Miller’s biggest struggle is the shelter itself. Like so many dogs, the constant noise, activity, and confinement have led to vocalizing and over-arousal when people pass by. But staff repeatedly observed that once outside his kennel, he is calm, responsive, and easy to handle.
💔 Miller has already lost his home.
Now he’s about to lose his life.
⏰ DEADLINE: THURSDAY, 7/2 AT 1 PM CT
⚠️ BARC has stated there will be NO extensions.

Miller doesn’t need perfection.
He doesn’t need a huge house.
He just needs someone willing to give him a chance to leave the shelter and be the loyal companion everyone there knows he can be.

LUCY A657658 should be chasing soccer balls... not spending her days in a kennel. She's only 2 years old and still has that fun, puppy-like energy & is dog-friendly. Volunteers describe her as friendly, playful, and always ready for an adventure. She even shares her kennel with another female dog, proving she's happy to have a canine friend by her side.

Can you picture her instead...
- Zooming around the backyard with your kids.
Chasing a ball until she's happily worn out.
Curling up on the couch while the family watches soccer after a day of play.

That's the life LUCY deserves. Not concrete floors and kennel walls. Not another day waiting for someone to notice her.

LUCY has stayed over 15 days and she can now be euthanized any Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning with NO NOTICE‼️

⏰Tuna #A2083347 must have a hold no later than 1PM or she will lose her life.🥺

💜🐶 Tuna #A2083347
6/29/26 Owner Surrender | Siberian Husky Mix | Female | 2 Years Old | 34 lbs | HW Low Positive

💜 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Tuna #A2083347. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

6/29/26: Tuna appeared very relaxed but would not walk and had to be carried.

6/30/26: Tuna remained very tense in the back of her kennel and would not walk. Staff elected to leave her in her kennel to avoid causing additional stress, noting that her kennel was clean.

7/1/26: Tuna was observed to be very tense in her kennel with a lowered head and avoiding eye contact. She would not walk and required a muzzle before being moved to a new kennel.

🚑 Medical Notes:

• 2-year-old female weighing 34 pounds
• Heartworm low positive
• No additional medical concerns documented

💜 Tuna appears to be experiencing severe fear and shutdown behavior in the shelter environment. Staff observations describe her as avoiding eye contact, remaining in the back of her kennel, and refusing to walk, likely due to overwhelming stress. Despite her fearfulness, there are no reports of aggression. Tuna urgently needs a quiet, patient environment where she can decompress, feel safe, and begin to rebuild her confidence outside of the shelter setting.
