Terumo is a handsome pup with the most striking eyes you’ll ever see! This sweet boy may be a little shy when it’s time to leash up, but once outside, he comes out of his shell and is full of energy. He enjoys walking on the trails, where he shows off his good leash manners, and he absolutely loves spending time in the play yard. Terumo is a bouncy, happy boy who loves to run around and have fun. He has so much fun playing with his toy in the yard, and then jumps in your lap for some loving!
When he’s ready, Terumo will come over for pets and cuddles. If you sit down, he’ll happily hop right into your lap for some cozy snuggles. He’s a sweet and affectionate pup who warms up quickly when given the time and space to go at his own pace.
Terumo would do well in a home that can offer him a little patience and a lot of love. If you`re looking for an active, playful companion who also enjoys quiet moments of affection, Terumo might be the perfect fit for you!
Terumo has met other dog pals at BARCS, he politely sniffed at the gate and headed in to play with his friends. He enjoys chase play and is loose and bouncy with his friends. He requests to meet any potential doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match. * Due to a significant uptick of “kennel cough,” BARCS is temporarily suspending meet & greets with resident dogs. Once meet & greets resume, he will be able to meet your resident dog. Until then, he can only be adopted to a home with playful female resident dogs *
If you`re looking for a loyal and loving companion, Terumo might be the perfect match for you. Visit BARCS to meet Terumo! He is residing in the back hallway (not in one of the main kennel rooms), so please ask to meet him.

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.
