"A dog has one aim in life... to bestow his heart." -J.R. Ackerly
Seanna
Seanna was originally found as a stray and taken to a local shelter. She had no hair and was extremely thin. While at the shelter, the staff fell in love with her sweet and outgoing personality despite her lack of good looks. She was turned over to rescue for treatment and placement. Since arriving in foster care, Seanna has grown a beautiful brindle coat. She gets along well with her foster brother and sisters and enjoys the company of children. Seanna will still need surgery to correct a cherry eye and will be spayed and heartworm treated prior to adoption. She goes in for her surgical evaluation on Friday, Mar 21. Seanna's shining personality makes us believe she will make someone a wonderful pet once her medical ordeal is completed. Seanna loves to play tug-o-war, enjoys one on one attention, and will put her head in her favorite person's lap to ask for petting. She REALLY likes toys and flips them into the air when playing. Seanna should not be placed in a home with cats - she seems a bit too curious and would love to chase if given the chance. Seanna is being fostered by the Cooks family in Jacksonville.

Carter
Carter is a sweet and loveable one year old Boxer boy who was found as a stray. After nobody claimed him at the shelter, he was turned over to B.A.R.C. for rehabilitation and placement. He is heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines and will be ready for adoption after he is neutered. He was underweight when he first got to his foster home but he is gaining weight and you can tell he is feeling much better and happier, and his coat is gorgeous.
Carter LOVES belly scratches and cuddling with you and he loves to play and go for long walks. Carter also enjoys running around the yard with his foster sisters. He seems content when he gets a lot of exercise and equally content cuddling watching TV. He gets along well with the cats in his foster home. Carter walks well on the leash but could use slight improvement. He doesn’t bark that much unless you ignore him for too long. He is smart and quick to learn commands. He is fully crate trained and housebroken. Carter would do well in a home where he is the only dog and gets all the attention, but he would prefer to be in a home with at least one other dog to play with. Are you Carter's new best friend?

Dougan is being fostered by Lisa and Josh in Jacksonville.

Stella
Stella is a two to three year old brindle female who was originally rescued from a neglectful situation by one of our local shelter partners and then turned over to rescue for placement. She is a beautiful dog and has a glowing personality. She loves getting attention from people and enjoys being pet. She is doing well with leash training using a special collar. Stella is a very smart girl. Stella gets along well with other dogs in the home, but needs integration work with dogs outside the home. She is an alpha female, so should probably be placed in a home with a more submissive dog. She is good in her crate and hasn't had an accident in the house since arriving into our program. Stella has been spayed and vaccinated. Stella was returned to our program recently and will be evaluated for the next few weeks. She will be available for adoption mid-May. Stella is being fostered by Trudy in Jacksonville.

Julia
Julia is a beautiful flashy brindle girl who found herself in an overnight drop pen at a local animal control. After her stray period, Julia was adopted, but her new owners returned her after finding out she had heartworms. B.A.R.C. was contacted by the shelter to treat and place Julia in a forever home. Julia should not be placed in a home with larger dogs or cats. She will sit for a treat and is a gentle girl. Julia LOVES to give kisses to her special person and is a very affectionate boxer. Julia pulls on leash, but seems to be a quick learner, so will work on this while in foster care. Julia has been spayed, vaccinated, and treated for heartworms. She is being fostered by Kirby and Amy in St. Johns.

Marley
Marley is one of Bunny’s puppies, born November 4. He is deaf, but uses his other senses (sight and smell) to compensate for his lack of hearing. Marley has received his first vaccinations and dewormings and will be neutered prior to adoption. Marley will be learning some basic hand signals while in foster care.
Please research the boxer breed and be sure that you will have the time and dedication needed to housebreak, train, and care for a boxer puppy for the next 10-15 years prior to applying to adopt. If you find that you are not up for the challenge of a puppy, please consider adopting one of our adult dogs. Many of our adult dogs are already housebroken, crate trained, and know basic obedience. Their temperaments have been testing in a variety of situations and we are able to tell you a lot about them prior to adoption.
Marley is being fostered by Bethany and Aaron in St. Augustine.

Dakota
Dakota is a youngster (2 years old) with a sweet disposition and a puppy's enthusiasm. She must complete treatment for demodex before she can be adopted, but she is a candidate for foster-to-adopt.
She is a high energy dog with a need to run, so she'll do best in a home with a securely fenced yard or as a running partner to help make those miles more fun. When off leash she's a very fast runner who will chase a frisbee forever but wants to play keep-away once she has it. Suggestion - always have two on hand! She'll come back for a whistle, but she runs right past like a bullet train! She also jumps with ease and will happily try to follow any squirrel up his tree.
Once she gets enough exercise, Dakota is content to hang out with her people - snoozing in her crate or on her dog bed or cuddling on the couch when invited.
She gets along well with other dogs and loves all people. She's very smart and eager to please, so she learns quickly. Because of her athleticism, ease with other dogs, and facility for learning new things, Dakota would be a prime candidate for agility training.
Dakota is being fostered by Karen and Joe in Tallahassee, but she really would like to have a home and family of her own!!!

Georgia
Georgia is a 3 yr old English Bulldog/Boxer mix who was originally seized as part of a cruelty case from a north Florida puppy mill in December 2006. Due to some dominance issues with the other female dog in her home, Georgia is again available for adoption through BARC. Georgia would do best as an only dog so that she can enjoy all of the attention from her special human. She is a sweet little lovebug with most people and enjoys giving kisses and sitting in laps. Georgia does have a fear of some men and her foster home is working on this issue. Georgia is built like a bulldog, short and squatty. She walks well on a leash and weighs about 40 lbs. Georgia should be available for adoption by the end of the month. She is spayed and is current on her vaccinations. Georgia is being fostered by the Cooks family in Jacksonville.

Laila
Laila is the cutest little velcro Boxer girl-full of wiggles! She follows her foster mom everywhere. We estimate that Laila is about four years old.

She is working on leash manners and learning not to jump on people. Like all Boxers, she craves human attention. She would love a home where she is the only dog or just has one brother to boss around. Laila should not be placed in a home with cats. She is being fostered by Michelle in Tallahassee. Please check back for updates on very loving little Laila!

Clover
My name is Clover and although I'm 5yrs old, I have a lot of energy and love to run and play. I love children and I always want to play and kiss
them but I think I would do better with older kids because the younger ones keep falling down when I wiggle and try to get them to play with me!
I have moved around way too much in the last month, since my last family
moved and said they couldn't take me. I would really love to have a home
that would love and keep me forever. I will reward my new family with kisses and lots of love, so if you are looking for a dog that will play
and run and love you forever, consider me!
