Introducing Diamondella, the diamond in the rough waiting to sparkle her way into your heart! ??
At 3 years old and a cuddly 60lbs, Diamondella is currently basking in the love of her foster home, where she's patiently waiting for a forever home. She's truly a gem of a dog - a perfect mix of couch potato and outdoor enthusiast, with a heart as big as her love for stuffed chew toys.
She walks well on leash a majority of the time, though she still can't resist the urge to chase after small critters - it's just her playful nature! But fear not, Diamondella's leash manners are on point otherwise.
Come bedtime, you'll find her nestled snugly in her dog bed, right next to yours, proving her loyalty night after night. Crating? She's cool with it, but honestly, she's so well-behaved she doesn't really need it during the day. Zero destructive tendencies when left alone, minimal barking, and an expert at playing it cool when guests come knocking. Diamondella is a natural-born babysitter, letting them climb all over her and play to their heart's content.
Did we mention she's practically odorless, doesn't drool, and just wants to snuggle up with you? Diamondella's dream home would be one where she's the star of the show, soaking up all the love and attention as the only pet. Small critters or cats? Not her cup of tea, sorry!
Diamondella promises to be the paw-fect addition to your family. So, if you're ready to add some sparkle to your life, come meet Diamondella - she's ready to shine bright by your side! ?
Diamondella is in a foster home! If you are interested in meeting her please email dogfosters@barcs.org for the next steps to meet her!

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.

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.
