Hello there! My name is Delightful, and let me tell you, I'm as delightful as my name suggests! At 3 years old and 47 pounds, I'm just the perfect size for cuddles and adventures.
When you first meet me, you might notice that I'm a tad shy, but don't let that fool you! Once I warm up to you, I'll be showering you with kisses - sometimes they might come with a subtle hint for treats, but hey, who can resist those?
I'm a curious girl with a wagging tail that just won't quit. Exploring the world around me is one of my favorite things, especially when it involves strolls through the woods with my favorite person by my side. Speaking of which, I'm currently looking for my forever person - could it be you?
During my time in foster care, I've been told I'm a breeze to handle. I walk nicely on my leash, have impeccable manners, and I'm completely house-trained. Yep, you read that right - no accidents here! When it's time to hit the hay, you can count on me to snooze quietly through the night, maybe snuggled up close to you if you're lucky.
Now, let's talk about my preferences. While I'm open to meeting new doggie friends, I do have a soft spot for gentle playmates. It's important to me that we get along swimmingly! As for cats and small animals, well, let's just say I'd prefer a home without them.
If you're looking for a loving, easygoing companion who's always up for an adventure, look no further! I'm here, ready to bring joy and delight into your life. So what do you say? Shall we embark on this journey together?
For next steps to meet me and talk with my foster mom please email dogfosters@barcs.org!

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.

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. Check www.barcs.org 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.

More about this shelter
BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
