Meet Coco, a sweet and affectionate girl looking for her forever home. After being found as a stray, running loose in the park for over a week, she has blossomed in her foster home and is now ready to find a family of her own where she can continue to thrive. Coco is a loving and loyal companion who enjoys nothing more than curling up in your lap for long, cozy cuddles. Though she is a little shy when meeting new people out and about, she warms up quickly once she feels comfortable.
Coco is housetrained and doing her best to acclimate to crate training, but she’ll need someone patient who’s willing to work with her. She can also be a bit nervous when left alone, so she would do best with someone who can help her build confidence in this area. Ideally, Coco would thrive with a family who is home often and can give her all the love and attention she craves. If you work from home, Coco would be a great match as she loves hanging out on the sofa in her foster mom’s office while she works, enjoying the company and relaxing nearby.
Currently, Coco lives with two other dogs and gets along well with them. While she’s not much of a player, she enjoys peaceful co-existence with calm, respectful dogs who won’t crowd her space. She also does well in the car, so if you enjoy trips or outings, Coco would be a great travel companion!
Coco recently had an amputation of her back right leg. Her new family will need to be committed to providing the care and support she needs as she heals, but with the right care, we’re confident she’ll continue to improve. Tripod dogs are resilient and Coco is adapting with grace and courage, learning to get around just as if she had four legs.
If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly companion and have the time and patience to help her continue to grow, Coco could be the perfect fit for your family. She’s ready to settle into a loving home where she can feel safe, cherished, and supported. Could that be with you?

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website.** Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. See below for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.
Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal.
Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match!
Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records.
What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.
**Please note: Animals listed on our adoption pages may still be on stray hold and pending reunion with their owners, or have an existing pending adoption application.
