The rest of the dogs from BARC's 4/2 list are all safe!

Achilles, Charlee, Frisky, Goldie, Millie May, Rocky, and Spot were all rescued!

Goldie and Spot already have adopters as well.

There should be freedom photos and vids on their pages soon.

Please remember that the rest of the fur kids from 4/2 were only extended to 4/6. We would like them to be as safe as the Lucky Seven. With the number of dogs coming into the shelter late last week, we do not expect the extensions to continue.

🆘️RESCUE ONLY🆘️ - A LOCAL foster is needed for a rescue to help! 🏡

⸻

🐾 MEET WAFFLE

ID #A2064252

4-year-old male German Shepherd mix (tan)

DOB: 3/23/2022

Intake Date: 3/23/2026

Status: Rescue Only- a local foster is needed for a rescue to help

⸻

📈Medical Notes

Waffle is heartworm positive, which is a serious but treatable condition with proper veterinary care. Aside from this, he appears physically stable and has received standard vaccinations and parasite prevention. With rescue support and treatment, heartworm-positive dogs like Waffle can go on to live full, healthy lives.

⸻

🐾Behavior Notes

Waffle is fearful and defensive in the shelter environment, showing behaviors like growling, barking, and snapping when overwhelmed. However, his notes clearly show this is fear-based—when approached calmly with patience and gentle “baby talk,” he begins to relax, wag his tail, and even seek affection. Outside of the kennel, he has shown a softer, wiggly side, walking well on leash and allowing pets.
