​

We thank you and congratulate you on your decision to adopt a BarkVille dog. Adopting a new dog or puppy is a huge commitment and we want to make sure that you are truly ready to take this step and give a rescue dog a second chance at a wonderful life.

 

Most of the dogs that we have available for adoption have come from shelters where they were found as a stray or surrendered by owners. These dogs have been let down by humans in the past and may be suffering from physical ailments or abuse. So, by the time these dogs come into our rescue group they have been through a lot and need a home that can provide them with structure, guidance, love, patience and time to adjust to their new surroundings. Please understand that as dogs transition from shelter to foster home to their forever home, there can be set backs along the way and they will need your help and understanding to adjust.

​

All dogs that are adopted from BarkVille are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and provided with all necessary veterinary care. However, owning a pet can be expensive and you must be prepared to provide quality food, monthly heartworm medication, monthly flea and tick medication, yearly shots, and routine checkups. In addition, you must prepare for accidents and illnesses that may require expensive treatment or surgeries. Many times our dogs have ended up in shelters because their previous owners were not prepared for these expenses and we want to ensure this never happens to them again.

​

We strive to know and understand each of our dogs so that we can work to find the best match for each dog and adopter.

​

Our adoption process includes an adoption application, adoption interview, meet and greet, veterinary reference check, personal reference check and home visit prior to making the adoption final. We reserve the right to deny any application that we feel is not a good fit for any of our dogs for any reason. If you are ready to make a commitment to one of our dogs review the process below and then please complete the adoption application and submit it for review.
