My story

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

Meet Fizzy, a lovable young boy with a big ole head and an even bigger heart! This super cute guy adores being around people, although he may be a bit shy when you first meet him in his kennel. But don't let that fool you; within a minute, he transforms into a big-time lovebug! If you sit or kneel low, he comes over to lean all 61 pounds into you, and may even try to sit on your lap. Fizzy is smart and knows commands like "sit" and "down," eagerly showing off his skills for praise and treats, which he takes ever so gently.

Fizzy is learning his loose leash walking skills, and doing a great job. He is very responsive and listens to his person. In the yard, he is a hoot! He is SO happy chasing after balls and laying down to chew on his toys. Already housebroken, smart, and affectionate, this pup is primed to seamlessly transition into his forever home, where he'll endlessly spread his love and joy. Fizzy also did very well with children during one of his dog's day out adventures!

Fizzy would do best with a playful and tolerant dog pal, and he requests to meet any doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match.

Come to BARCS to meet Fizzy or one of his friends! He is residing in the back hallway (not in one of the main kennel rooms), so please ask to meet him - it's lonely back there!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

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.
