FOSTER NEEDED for small breed senior. The poor guy is approximately 10+yrs old and due to a medical emergency with the owner (two+ weeks ago) he’s been left in an apartment alone. A neighbor is feeding and walking 1x a day. He’s very sweet and fine around other dogs. He’s also housebroken and holds it until someone comes 😭 every once in a while he has an accident but the neighbor says it’s only when she can’t make it over there. Poor little guy is so confused and still trying to be the best boi.

Please apply ASAP, we are supposed to pick him up tomorrow FRIDAY 6/19. But we cannot rescue him without a foster in place.

If you submit a foster app, please be available to receive him sometime TOMORROW (Friday) and please be understanding of his situation and that he will need time and help adjusting.

BARC covers vet care and we will get him into our vet as soon possible, likely next week unless he’s in need of emergency care (neighbor says he is in good health and not in need of urgent care)

Fosters must reside in CT. This is the policy based on insurance and state registration requirements.

No kids please, thanks

Please share and follow Friends of BARC CT to help save more local dogs!

Sweet Hazel is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by people who appreciate her loyal and affectionate nature.

✨8 years young
✨47 lbs
✨house trained
✨crate trained
✨microchipped
✨spayed & UTD on shots
✨professionally trained

Hazel has been with her family since she was just a puppy. She knows several commands including sit, lay down, paw, and kennel up.

Hazel has a medium energy level and enjoys a good balance of activity and relaxation. Some of her favorite things include running, spending time outdoors, and snuggling up with her favorite humans. She eats from a slow feeder and thrives on routine.

On walks, Hazel is generally very well-behaved and walks nicely on leash. She has a preference for having her people to herself, therefore Hazel would do best as the only dog in the home and without young children.

Hazel would be happiest in a home without young children.

If you're looking for a loyal companion who enjoys outdoor adventures just as much as cozy nights on the couch, Hazel may be the perfect match.

Please fill out our owner to owner application here: https://barc-ct.org/private-adoption-application/

📌 IMPORTANT: This is an owner-to-owner adoption situation. Hazel is NOT in the care of BARC CT. BARC CT is only assisting in sharing her information to help her find a loving home and assumes no responsibility or liability for the adoption process or outcome.

📍CT - Hello can you help me? My name Is Coffee and I’m an adult female guinea pig 🐹 in URGENT need of a forever home. There’s not a lot known about me but I’m worth saving, I promise. I seem to be healthy and happy.

I don’t love being handled because I’m not used to it—but I’m very content in my cage and I don’t bother anyone.

I love healthy and food like fruits and vegetables 🥕 in addition to regular GP food. I’m very sweet and grateful when you feed me. 🥹

I may be happy with another female GP but right now I am alone. Slow intros to the other female would be helpful for me.

There is ^^no fee^^ to adopt me, BARC is trying to find me a loving forever home ASAP so please apply today.
