My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Barnaby is looking for a foster or forever home. *PLEASE NOTE: Barnaby is looking for a home without other animals or children. We understand that this narrows his foster or forever home options but we never make exceptions when certain behaviors are a safety concern. He is safe with us and is NOT in danger of being euthanized.* Please review the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we get about Barnaby:
1. Barnaby cannot be placed with other animals or children because he has a prey drive and has guarding issues.
2. We have consulted trainers. Local trainers can absolutely message us about the possibility of working with him further.
3. We do not need to move him to another rescue or shelter and he is safe on site with us until he can be placed. Bloodhound specific rescues can absolutely message us.
4. He goes out with trained volunteers and staff members and is not confined to a cage 24/7. He goes on long walks and gets play time in our fenced in backyard.
Barnaby is one of our longest residents. It’s so sad to keep posting him, begging for someone to give him a chance, and having no one even apply. He’s losing his spark and we really need your help networking him so the right potential adopter sees his post. Our team is OBSESSED with this velvet eared hunk & we know an adult family that understands his breed will be, too! Barnaby was born on 7/17/22 and is a Bloodhound mixed breed. He requires a dog savvy family with experience with large dogs. He’s a VERY good boy that just needs to find the right people. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered. Please consider opening your home to this very deserving dog.

*PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO STRINGENT OUT OF STATE HEALTH CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS WE ARE NOW ONLY ADOPTING TO RHODE ISLAND RESIDENTS*. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, due to past issues with landlords/housing/insurance, a restricted breed policy is in place for Bully breed/Pit Bull type dogs. This means that you must own your home and provide proof of homeownership to adopt a Bully breed/Pit Bull dog or puppy. While we understand that this may be an inconvenience, it is necessary to help reduce the number of devastated dogs being returned. We apologize for the inconvenience.

2. We require proof of homeownership (tax form, deed, mortgage statement) or landlord approval (a copy of your lease that clearly states you are allowed to have a dog, puppy, cat, or kitten OR written and signed consent from your landlord.
3. We require copies of up to date vet records for any current pets.
