Shep

Barkie's Legacy

Barkie's Legacy was named in honor of my mother (nicknamed "Barkie") and we rescue typically larger dogs at great risk of euthanization. We get them up to 100% then find them a forever home. We do it b/c we're tired of seeing how many loving pets are being put down in the shelters daily. We support the No Kill movement!

Meet Shep

Meet Shep! Shep was a staff favorite at his overcrowded shelter in TX who came in as a stray. He is the sweetest boy, who absolutely melts when shown attention. He literally collapses to the ground and begs for belly rubs.  Shep is not a fan of other dogs so his furever home would be one where he is the star of the show. He will reward you for that handsomely though! Shep walks nicely on a leash until he sees a....SQUIRREL! Shep is neutered, microchipped and UTD on shots. He is also crate-trained. The only thing that's missing is a family to love him for the dear pup that he is. Could that be you?  **Please note: Shep is also looking for a foster home, as his current foster can only provide temporary care, and can be transported to most US locations. Distance is not a problem! Enquire for more details.   

Adoption Process
Application (that's verified and approved), home visit, contract, require the dog to be on HW meds and examined within first month. Any problems, the dog must come back to our rescue.
