My story

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

My name is Skye! I am a mature Pitbull/Mix, weighing 65lbs. My age is estimated to be around 9yr old. I was a Momma dog, surrendered to a rural county shelter along with my daughter, who was quickly adopted. Barkville Dog Rescue took me in, and I am looking forward to enjoying my golden years as part of a loving family! I currently live in a foster home, and my foster mom says I am super polite! I listen well and I won't get on the furniture if that's what you prefer, but I certainly wouldn't mind being a couch queen! I love every human I meet - big and small - and have lived in multiple foster homes with young children. The toddler in my current foster home thinks it's pretty funny to make me wear his hats and I have never chewed on any of his toys because I am a really good girl. I don't want to brag, but I am also good for baths and I even get in the tub myself when coaxed. I am housebroken, non-destructive, and I ride nicely in the car, but I tend to be anxious in public so the home is where I really thrive. Take me to school drop-off, but I'm not interested in the park or patio. I love the other female dog in my foster home - we do everything together. You can catch us sunbathing, snuggling, or even chasing squirrels. Foster mom thinks another friendly dog gives me comfort so although it's not necessary, I would likely enjoy another medium sized, friendly canine sibling (small dogs and cats need not apply!) Being that I am an older, I do take a daily anti-inflammatory medicine with my breakfast. I am generally a lower energy kind of gal, but I do briefly play wrestle with my foster sister and have been known to chase a squirrel (or two or three or ten), but I really excel at companionship and snoozing the day away. If you're looking for an active pooch to go on walks and play the days away, I'm probably not for you. But if you're looking for a well-mannered family lady that's exceptional at Netflix and chill, I'm your gal! Sky is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. For more information about this sweet girl, please email us at info@barkvilledogrescue.org or submit an application at https://www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications. BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area. Applicants in surrounding states could potentially adopt a BarkVille dog if their application is approved, they live within 2-3 hours of the Greater Atlanta area, and they are able to pick up their dog from the foster home.October 18, 2024, 8:46 am

Additional adoption info

The dogs that we have available for adoption have come from shelters where they were found stray or were given up by their owners. These dogs have been let down by humans in the past and may be suffering from physical ailments or abuse. So, by the time these dogs come into our rescue group they have been thru a lot and need a home that can provide them with structure, guidance, love, patience and time to adjust to their new surroundings. Please understand that as dogs transition from shelter to foster home to forever home there can be set backs along the way and they will need your help to adjust.

All dogs that are adopted from BarkVille are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and provided with all necessary veterinary care. However, owning a pet can be expensive and you must be prepared to provide quality food, monthly heartworm medication, monthly flea and tick medication, yearly shots and routine checkups. In addition, you must prepare for accidents and illnesses that may require expensive treatment or surgeries. Many times our dogs have ended up in shelters because their previous owners were not prepared for these expenses and we want to ensure this never happens to them again.

We strive to know and understand each of our dogs so that we can work to find the best match for each dog and adopter.

Our adoption process includes an adoption application, adoption interview, meet and greet, veterinary reference check, personal reference check and home visit prior to making the adoption final. We reserve the right to deny any application that we feel is not a good fit for any of our dogs for any reason. If you are ready to make a commitment to one of our dogs please complete the adoption application and submit for review. The adoption fees vary based on the age of the animal: Age 7 and up is $300, Between age 7 to 1 year is $350. Puppies under the age of 1 year is $400.

More about this rescue

BarkVille Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer non-profit. We envision a world where all dogs reside in responsible, loving homes.

Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment. The dogs are then placed in foster homes while they await placement into their permanent home.

Our goal is to help dogs without regard to age, breed, size, or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs in the greatest need take priority.
