🐾 Meet 13 month old puppy Summer
ID #A2083433
13 month old Female Australian Cattle Dog Mix, Black / Brown
Weight: 40 lbs
Intake Date: 6/29/2026

Medical Notes:
Summer is heartworm negative and appears to be in good overall health. She has received her DA2PP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines, has been dewormed with pyrantel, and treated with Advantage Multi for parasite prevention. No significant medical concerns have been noted.

Behavior Notes:
Summer is a fearful young dog who has shut down in the shelter environment. She stays at the back of her kennel, avoids eye contact, trembles, lip licks, and keeps her tail tightly tucked. She will often pancake to the ground and has shown little interest in treats or encouragement, making it difficult for staff to move her. On multiple occasions she has needed to be carried because she was too frightened to walk.

🐾 Meet Banjo
ID #A2083553
6-year-old Male German Shepherd Mix, Black / White
Weight: 56.4 lbs
Intake Date: 6/30/2026
Banjo came in with another dog, who is not currently on the euthanasia list (ID #A2083552, picture in comments).

Medical Notes:
Banjo is heartworm positive and has mild dermatitis affecting his ears, head, chest, shoulders, and legs. A skin scrape was negative for mites, and no secondary skin infection was found. He has been treated with Advantage Multi and pyrantel dewormer, and has received his DA2PP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines. His skin condition is considered mild and manageable with continued care.

Behavior Notes:
Banjo is a gentle but frightened dog who appears shut down by the shelter environment. He will slowly approach when spoken to kindly and allowed time to build trust, but becomes fearful when asked to leave the kennel. He often prefers to remain curled up on his blanket and has needed gentle handling due to his fear.

💔 The problem? Summer is running out of time.

She has been here since 05/26, making her extremely urgent, and she needs a confirmed rescue tag, foster, or adopter before Monday morning.

🆘💙 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.
🏡 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, OR RESCUE
🚗 Out-of-state and Canadian adoptions are possible through rescue partners. Transport typically costs around $600 USD and includes boarding, veterinary care, spay/neuter, health certificate, and transport.
📩 If you are out of state or in Canada and interested in adopting Miller, please send us a message. We can help connect you with the appropriate rescue partner to facilitate the adoption process.
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.
Please share, tag rescues, and help us save Miller before time runs out. 🙏

💜🐶 Sierra #A2082496
6/22/26 Stray | Siberian Husky Mix | Female | 11 Months Old | Spayed | 44.6 lbs | HW Negative

💜 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Sierra #A2082496. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

6/22/26 (Intake): Sierra was reported as a medium-sized brown dog who had appeared the previous night and would not leave the property, remaining in front of the finder's door.

6/23/26: Sierra was very vocal both in her kennel and in the outdoor runs. She displayed a fast wagging tail, dilated pupils, and hyperactive behavior.

6/29/26: Sierra was selected as a move-adopt candidate and willingly approached staff. She greeted staff at her kennel door with a wagging tail, was easy to leash, and walked loosely back to her new kennel.

6/30/26: Sierra had been a move-adopt candidate the previous day. After morning cleaning, she vocalized throughout the day and urinated in her kennel multiple times. On leash, she zigzagged and jumped on staff while they attempted to walk her. She ignored treats offered to redirect her behavior. She behaved similarly on the return walk and resumed vocalizing once back in her kennel. She was placed on an adoption evaluation for monitoring.

7/1/26: Sierra was vocal in the morning. When it was time for her walk, she was jumpy and zigzagged on the leash. Staff had to repeatedly toss treats to prevent her from jumping on them. After returning to her kennel, she remained very vocal throughout the day.

🚑 Medical Notes:
• 11-month-old spayed female weighing 44.6 pounds
• Heartworm negative
• Green line spay tattoo present
• No medical concerns documented

💜 Sierra is a young, energetic husky mix who appears to be struggling with the stress and overstimulation of the shelter environment. Staff describe her as social and willing to engage, but also highly vocal, excitable, and difficult to redirect once aroused. Her willingness to approach handlers and walk loosely in calmer moments suggests she may thrive in a structured home environment where she can decompress, receive consistent guidance, and channel her energy appropriately.

‼️🆘 LIO #A2037385 NEEDS A HERO 🆘‼️

💔 Last day to save: July 4
🚨 Scheduled for euthanasia: July 5

While fireworks light up the sky, Lio could quietly lose his life the very next day.

For weeks, people have walked past his kennel without stopping. No one has asked to meet him. No one has given him a chance.

Lio is a 6-year-old, 60 lb sweetheart who lives for time with volunteers.

He loves butt scratches, treats, and learning to play ball.

He appears to be housetrained, enjoys affection, and has been described as relaxed and gentle with children in his previous home.
He has no bite history.

The behaviors that landed him on the euthanasia list are manageable with the right home.
Like many shelter dogs, he's stressed and doesn't enjoy playgroups. He needs patience, understanding, and someone willing to see the dog beyond the kennel walls.

Lio is not invisible. He deserves more than to have his story end because no one noticed him.

Please, if you've ever considered adopting or fostering, let today be the day.

If you can't adopt, sharing his post could reach the one person who can save him.

Please come meet him at

💙🐶 Alex #A2083434

6/29/26 Euth Request | Border Collie Mix | Male | 2 Years Old | 32 lbs | HW Negative

💙 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Alex #A2083434. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

6/30/26: During placement on the euthanasia list, Alex was observed pancaked against the back kennel wall with a tense body, pinned ears, and whale eyes. Staff were able to place a leash over his head and attempted to comfort him with baby talk and treats, but he remained shut down. He was lightly muzzled and carried to the runs. Outside, he displayed a somewhat more relaxed posture and sniffed neighboring dogs, but largely kept to himself. Staff had to carry him back to his kennel, where he again pancaked himself against the back wall.

7/2/26: Alex tucked his head into the corner of his kennel and pulled his legs underneath himself when staff opened the kennel door. Staff slowly knelt down and offered treats, but he showed no interest. When a leash was placed on him, his body became even more tense. He was lightly muzzled and carried to a new kennel.

🚑 Medical Notes:

• 2-year-old intact male weighing 32 pounds

• Heartworm negative

• Received tranquilizer at intake

• No other medical concerns documented

💙 Alex showed some curiosity toward other dogs when outside of his kennel, suggesting there may be a social and affectionate dog beneath his fear. He urgently needs a quiet, patient environment where he can decompress, feel safe, and begin to build trust.
