Honeydew is a sweetheart! Everyone who meets her falls in love. She is content to sit by your side while you pet her. She is very attentive on walks and does well with loose leash walking the majority of the time. Honeydew is super engaged in her human and is very treat motivated. You don't even have to tell her sit, she does it automatically when you have a treat in your hand. Honeydew is an easy going girl who can leap over puddles in a single bound! She likes agility and will climb right up on ramps and benches! She takes treats so gently and is very friendly. Honeydew can be a bit shy with new people when meeting them on the leash, tasty treats will help with introductions.
Honeydew recently went on a sleepover with a volunteer and we learned so much about her! She appeared housetrained in the home and had good house manners overall! She LOVED playing with toys, especially a ball, and she would do this quick little hop to chase the ball which will ensure that you will laugh. She did well on a leash in the neighborhood as long as those pesky squirrels were not around! This smart girl knows a lot of commands - sit, touch, shake and down! She would love someone to continue teaching her things.
Honeydew loves her humans more than the dogs and would love to be the only dog in her future home.
Come down to BARCS and meet Honeydew!

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.).

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.
