A Note from the Foster: Meet Barron — aka Bear 🐻

Barron is a sweet rescue boy with a gentle, easy-going spirit. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention — he’s happiest simply being near his people (and especially his dog friends).

This handsome guy is discovering how fun life can be! He’s learning to love playing with toys, enjoys short walks around the neighborhood, and never says no to a tasty treat. His biggest comfort and confidence booster is the resident dog in his foster home — he absolutely loves having a canine companion and would thrive in a home with another friendly dog to show him the ropes.

Barron is excellent at letting you know when he needs to go outside, but we also let him out on a regular basis to help him as well. He’s starting to open up to snuggles and gentle scratches, and when he leans in for affection, it’s the sweetest reward.

He is neutered, has had some teeth extracted to keep his smile healthy, and has already begun his heartworm treatment — he’s well on his way to feeling his very best.

Because he’s still building trust, Barron can be shy with new people. He tends to feel more comfortable around women at first and is continuing to work on gaining confidence with men. With patience, kindness, and a calm environment, he continues to blossom more each day.

If you’re looking for a loyal, soft-hearted companion who will bond deeply and grow with you, Barron (Bear) is ready to start his next chapter.

Adoption Fee: $510 + 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!
