My story

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

Beezus is extremely loyal to her people and really tries to please them. She’s the sweetest dog ever, her only vice is she can be reactive on a leash and it takes her a minute to warm up to new people/new dogs, but once she trusts you she will just be on top of you cuddling all day long. Her foster says "I would say she needs someone with experience with reactive dogs because it can be a little intense at first if you don’t know her. I always put a muzzle on her when she meets new dogs and if I have new people over I generally distract her with a frozen kong in her crate and then she’s perfectly fine. She’s seriously one of the sweetest dogs I’ve ever met, I hate that she has such a hard time with new people because I want everyone to see that side of her."

More about this rescue

BARRK LI was created by Kristina Howley after many years of working with many wonderful groups in the animal rescue industry. Most recently my work with SNARR Animal Rescue Northeast has encouraged me to begin a new chapter of rescue focusing on the NYACC abandoned and "at risk" shelter dogs. While I will continue to help and support SNARR NE for the wonderful work they do, I am excited and hopeful to roll out BARRKLI to help even more dogs in the NY shelters and those in other area shelters of dire need. My initial goal is to build a small team of support for the local NYACC shelter dogs and eventually expand to help as many dogs as I can. One thing I have learned over the many years in rescue, is that the most successful rescuers have accepted that we can't save them all but the ones we do save we certainly can give our all too. My motto is and will continue to be "one dog at a time". And for that one dog, may his/her life be changed forever
