It’s May Day—
Let’s make it January’s Day!🌸

January may be named for the first month of the year, but this queen is ready to reign in any season. At 7 years old, she knows exactly how to command attention—with her playful bossiness and charming cuddle requests (on her terms, of course). 💁‍♀️👑

This May, it’s time to let January bloom into her forever home. She’s been waiting patiently for her perfect match, and we know her kingdom is out there somewhere. Will it be with you?

🐾 Don’t let her wait another season—adopt January today and give her the royal treatment she deserves! 🏡💖

🏇🌸 *Every Derby has its long shot—this year, it’s Moxie!* 🌸🏇

Meet Moxie, the shy gal with a heart full of determination and a spirit that's quietly blazing. She’s not your typical front-runner. She’s the underdog who thrives when the odds say it’s impossible, and the one who proves that patience and belief are just as important as speed. In the loud buzz of the crowd, she might hesitate, needing time to settle into her stride, but make no mistake—she’s got grit to spare.

✨ And there’s no better day to celebrate her than National Adopt a Dog Day! ✨ Moxie reminds us of the countless amazing dogs just waiting for their chance to shine. Today isn’t just about cheering for an underdog—it’s about opening your heart and home to one. Like the Derby’s long shots, adoptable dogs have untapped potential that just needs love, care, and patience to flourish.

Sometimes, greatness isn’t about starting with a roar; it’s about showing up, facing doubts head-on, and finding your rhythm to finish strong. Moxie reminds us all that being underestimated can be an advantage—it lets you surprise everyone, just like the Derby’s most beloved long shots have done before.

So here’s to Moxie, and to every quiet contender who rises from behind to steal the show. She’s proof that even the shyest can bloom when it matters most. 🌟 *Will she be the story that turns Derby day into a legend? Stay tuned.* 🌟 And while you do, consider helping another dog find their forever home today!

Cameron stands on business today at the W. Fielding Rubel School of Business at Bellarmine University, lending his furry presence to students during a crucial time: finals! It's a wonderful initiative to help students destress and recharge.

Dogs like Cameron are more than just adorable companions—they're natural stress-relief champions. Scientific studies show that interacting with dogs can lower cortisol levels (a stress hormone) and boost oxytocin (the “feel-good” hormone). A few minutes with a dog can ease anxiety, improve focus, and even enhance overall mental health. Cameron’s presence offers comfort, joy, and that perfect break students need to thrive during high-pressure times.

Here’s to paw-sitive energy and mental wellness! 🐾

🌟 When a beloved dog crosses the Rainbow Bridge, they sometimes send another to continue their legacy.🌟

In honor of our sweet Eloise, we’ve rescued this adorable boy from the very same shelter she came from. Meet Louie—an ode to Eloise! ❤️

Louie is a 10-month-old bundle of love, weighing in at a perfect 45 lbs. While he might grow a bit more, we don’t expect him to become much bigger. This charming pup gets along well with other dogs, and while we’re still learning about his feelings towards cats, he’s proving to be an affectionate and adaptable companion.

Louie adores giving kisses, cuddling up close, and showing off his smarts—he’s eager to please and highly trainable! We can already tell he’d love adventures and will make a fantastic travel buddy, especially since he’s such a good boy in the car. 🚗🐾

If you’re ready to welcome Louie into your heart and home, visit 👉 www.barktownrescue.org/adopt apply today! Let’s give this sweet boy the life he deserves.

Warm weather = grooming weather at Barktown Rescue!

Thanks to a generous grant from the Pedigree Foundation, Buddy is not only soaking up the sunshine—he’s also soaking up new skills.

This handsome guy is deep into his training journey, and today, he held a perfect 20-minute sit-stay while his handler and the Ferminator tackled his spring shedding.

Buddy’s not just looking good—he’s looking for his perfect spring home! His training will continue after adoption to help you build a strong bond with this sweet, smart pup.

Ready to add a little Buddy to your life?

A Love Too Big to Be Apart 💔🐾

Duke’s heart broke the day he was adopted. Not because he wasn’t loved—his adopters tried everything—but because he wasn’t with Duchess. For a week, he refused to eat, too heartbroken to move forward without her.

These two gentle giants—both over 100 lbs of pure love—share an unbreakable bond. They have always had each other, and we believe that’s what they need to truly thrive.

🏡 What They Need:
- A patient, loving home willing to commit to their journey
- No small children—just a calm space where they can feel safe
- Someone willing to work with them through training (which is FREE, thanks to Rosie Dane Dog Training & Pedigree Foundation!)

🎁 ADOPTION FEE? HANDLED!
Duke’s fee is sponsored, and Duchess’s fee will be **waived** for the right family ready to welcome them together.

They’re not just looking for a home—they’re looking for a forever family who understands their love story. ❤️

Are you the one to bring Duke & Duchess the happy ending they deserve? If you’re ready to open your heart to these bonded souls, reach out today!

Moxie is ready to find her forever home! Here’s what she brings to the table:

✅ Must-Haves for Her Walks:
- A training collar to guide her progress
- A Max and Neo "Adopt Me" leash – because she’s ready for love!

💖 What She NEEDS in a Home:
- A patient and understanding family who gets her needs and is willing to help her grow
- A home that has another dog because she loves other dogs!
- A smart pup who’s eager to learn
- Time to warm up, but once she does, she’ll be your most loyal companion!

If you think you can give Moxie the loving home she deserves, reach out to Barktown Rescue today! 🐶🏡

🐺 Luna Has Waited Too Long—Her Forever Family Is Out There! 🐺

This 6-year-old husky mix has been patiently waiting at the rescue far longer than she should. She’s a smart, loving, and loyal girl who dreams of finding a home to call her own!

💙 Her Ideal Home:
✔ A secure fence she can’t climb—she’s an explorer!
✔ Slow introductions to other dogs—she takes time to build trust.
✔ No cats—Luna prefers a feline-free space.

🐾 **Why Luna Deserves a Family:**
She’s playful but patient, independent yet deeply devoted to those she loves. Luna has been receiving training and will continue with FREE training from Rosie Dane after adoption—thanks to the Pedigree Foundation!

✨ Let’s Make Sure She’s Seen! Please share her post—her forever family. This could be just one share away!
