Story
Meet Poncho! Poncho is a 5 yr old Pitbull mix. He is very loving and playful. Poncho weighs about 45lbs. Poncho gets along with other dogs and does well on leash. Poncho is house trained Poncho LOVES to run and can be an escape artist, so he needs a home with a privacy fence, as well as an active home and one that will train him. He is a very sweet, social and lovable guy! He loves to sit in your lap and snuggle. WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT PONCHO COMES WITH FREE TRAINING WITH ROSIE DANE DOG TRAINING! Thanks to the Pedigree Foundation, we are able to work with the trainers at Rosie Dane Dog Training to pay for a 10 week Novice Training course once adopted. More details available upon request!   If you would like to make Poncho a part of your family, fill out an applicatitoday! PONCHO'S ADOPTION FEE IS $170The shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at the dog's predominant breed or breed mix. We strongly encourage you to select your new pet by looking at each dog's individual personality and pet qualities rather than relying on a breed label that is only our best guess.    Our adoption fees vary from $150 and up.  All of our dogs are up to date on vaccines, heart worm preventives, and flea/tick medication, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Portions of your adoption fee also help care for the sick and injured animals that we take in.  Thank you for supporting us and considering a rescue dog!    January 19, 2025, 9:03 pm

Story
Xavier is about 2 years old. Xavier s a Pitbull mix. He will need an active, experienced family to show him the way and train and socialize him! He loves to cuddle, eat, and play! He needs a home with someone strong, experience and one without male dogs. He is an alpha dog, so with proper training and having a strong alpha leader, will go a long way. He thrives off consistently and schedule!  A meet and greet with any other dogs is a must.  If you would like to give Xavier a forever home, fill out an application at www.barktownrescue.org.

Story
Dubby is a special dog with a lot of love to give. He is friendly, affectionate, loyal, gentle, playful, smart, funny, and athletic - to name a few of his shining characteristics! He is a very loving dog who adores kisses and giving kisses. Dubby would be the perfect fit for a family with older children (13+), or just adults living in the home. Dubby loves to play with other dogs, and an old injury is not holding him back in any way. If you believe you could be the right family for this sweet boy, please complete an application at https://www.cognitoforms.com/SaveOneSoul/SaveOneSoulAdoptionApplication , so that you can meet him. He can't wait to meet you and shower you with kisses!

Story
Smiley is an XL Bully who came to us last fall when she was found as a stray after clearly being used as a breeding dog for several years. Smiley had a low grade Mast Cell Tumor removed from her hind leg. Thankfully, the pathology report of the follow-up surgery showed that the tumor was removed in its entirety, and she is expected to have a normal life span. Smiley is your typical happy-go-lucky Bully. Smiley has recently shown a dislike of crates, and we have gotten her a special crate, which will come with her as part of the adoption process. Smiley is in a foster home with many other dogs and does well with them. She loves attention, and she wears herself out by chewing on a Kong Wubba. Smiley is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her shots, and her adoption fee is only $180.00 Smiley is looking for a home, where she will be loved. Adopters must understand the breed. Due to her size, she is not a good fit for a home with small children. XL Bullies are highly sought after breeds, and we will be very selective when it comes to her placement. If you are interested in adopting her. please complete an application at https://www.cognitoforms.com/SaveOneSoul/SaveOneSoulAdoptionApplication

Story
We brought Gunner home from the humane society. He is 5 years old. He is a very loving and loyal dog. He loves to play catch. He can be aggressive towards people he doesn’t know. Once he warms up to them, he is fine. He doesn’t like thunderstorms or kennels. He is an inside dog, but probably could be an outside dog if trained to stay in the yard. Gunner is our daughter’s dog. She is now in the military, and we are too busy to give him what he needs. We live in the country, which doesn’t provide any socialization with other people. We just want him to go to a good home.
