History: Barbie is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance at a good life. She quickly wriggled her way into our hearts with how sweet and loving she is and she would make a great addition to a lucky home of her own soon!
A Note from the Foster: Hello! My name is Barbie but my foster mama calls me Honey and Peanut. I think it because I’m so tiny at just 8 lbs. Plus, she says I’m a total sweetie. I’m only 24 months old and was rescued from a life of breeding. Foster Mama says I am adjusting to life in a real home so well! I sleep quietly in my kennel all night, giving the cutest little barks when I need to go outside! I love to be able to go in the yard and take care of business. She says I am a good girl because I get down to business right away. I often bark to let my foster mama know when I need to go outside, but sometimes I forget. When it’s warmer I do like to check out the yard with my foster sisters. They are a lot bigger than me so we don’t play much, but I watch them closely to learn how life in a real home works. I love, love, love to snuggle up in a chair with Foster Mama and take some good naps. I’m not quite used to this leash thing yet. Foster Mama says when I get better at it we can go for walks. I’m not sure what that is but if she says I’ll like it, I’m sure I will! I haven’t met any cats, but they’ll probably be bigger than me! I’m so sweet and chill, I’m sure we’d be great friends. I would love to live in a house where my people will be home with me, whether that’s remote work or retired. I just wanted to to be able to snuggle with you!
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
