My story

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

Meet Sofia the cutest little senior ever!

Sofia joined BAARK Dog Rescue after having been found as a stray. She was in bad shape, very matted and horribly underweight, as we learned after she was shaved down.

Clearly all Sofia needed was a bath-and-shave, some good quality food, and lots of attention, cuddling, and love. Within just a couple of weeks, Sofia bounced back into a very sweet sociable little dog who is now looking for a forever family of her own. She absolutely loves people and other dogs; she is not fond of being left alone.

The ideal pet parent for Sofia is someone who has plenty of time to devote to her, who will enjoy cuddling this precious pup, and will provide her the best care and all the attention she so deserves. Sofia is good with other dogs. While ok with older children who have been taught to be respectful of dogs, young children scare her.
We do not know Sofia’s true age; she is estimated to be 12 years old. She weighs about 9 lbs. We believe she is a Maltipoo.

Sofia appears to be housebroken; she goes outside with all the other dogs in her foster home. However she is not liking the cooler weather. She is learning to use potty pads indoors, in case the winter weather will be too much for her to handle.

Sofia is fully vetted, spayed, microchipped, has had recent bloodwork, is heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention, and is up to date on vaccinations.

If you’d like to add this sweet senior to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Note that BAARK is located in the NW suburbs of Chicago; we adopt local to our area.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Complete B.A.A.R.K.’s adoption application in its entirety. Prior to submitting an application for a particular pet, we encourage you to research the breed so that you understand the characteristics and needs of the animal.

2. After submitting the application, a B.A.A.R.K. adoption coordinator will contact you (assuming you are the primary caregiver to/adopter of the new pet) to review your application and conduct an initial phone interview.

3. A representative of B.A.A.R.K. will contact your references and verify the veterinary information that you have provided on the application for pets currently or previously owned. Please be sure you inform your references that you have provided their contact information to B.A.A.R.K. and that they will be contacted.

4. If, at any time during the adoption process, we conclude that the pet of interest is not a good match for your household, your application will be kept on file for one year. You will not be required to complete another application during that time period if you find another pet you are interested in adopting from B.A.A.R.K. Rescue.

5. After the initial phone interview, if B.A.A.R.K. has decided that the pet of interest to you may be a good fit for your household, a “meet & greet” will be arranged, either at the home of the foster family or at your home. If the first visit is preferred to take place at the foster home, a second visit will be arranged at your home.

6. B.A.A.R.K. will bring the pet of interest to your home for a meeting with ALL family members and ALL other pets within the household. The purpose of the home visit is to ensure that the pet you have chosen is appropriate for your living situation and lifestyle. Please note that ALL FAMILY MEMBERS AND ALL FAMILY PETS MUST BE PRESENT FOR THE IN-HOME INTERVIEW. More than one meeting may be required during the adoption process to ensure the best placement possible for the pet and the household.

7. When you have made the decision to adopt a pet from B.A.A.R.K. Rescue, we ask that you to spend 1-2 days thinking about the decision, in order to ensure that you are making the best choice for the pet and your family. A same day adoption is NEVER an option.

8. Once the decision is made to proceed with the adoption, an adoption contract must be reviewed, completed, and signed. B.A.A.R.K.’s adoption fee is non-refundable. You may also be asked to provide a separate check(s) of $150 as a fence deposit, obedience training deposit, and/or spay/neuter deposit. Check deposits will either be destroyed or returned upon completion of the required action.

Go meet their pets

B.A.A.R.K. schedules meet-and-greets with potential adopters at times mutually agreeable to both parties. These typically take place at the potential new home.
