🌸 Momma Graycie is officially retired! 🌸
After years of raising babies with grace and love, Graycie is ready to trade in her nursery duties for naps in sunbeams and leisurely strolls around the yard. At around 9 years old, she’s dreaming of a quiet, cozy home where she can be someone’s cherished companion—no more kittens, no more drama, just peace and love.

She’s gentle, wise, and still has plenty of tail wags to give. If you’ve got a soft spot for senior sweethearts and a calm space to share, Graycie might be your perfect match. 💕

And keep an eye out—little Violet will be ready soon, too. This mother-daughter duo is about to steal some hearts.

📩 Message us to learn more about adopting Graycie or to get on Violet’s waitlist!
Www.barktownrescue.org/adopt to fill out an application. She isn't up on the website yet, but it will be later today!

☀️ Hot Weather Alert: Protect Your Pets! 🐾

Summer heat isn’t just uncomfortable — it can be deadly for our dogs. Here’s how to keep them safe when temps soar:

🚫 Never leave dogs in parked cars.
Even with windows cracked, a car can become an oven in minutes. Heatstroke can happen fast — and it’s often fatal.

🕶️ Walk early or late.
Avoid midday walks. If the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.

💧 Hydration is everything.
Keep fresh water available at all times. Add ice cubes for extra cooling!

🌳 Shade and rest are essential.
Dogs can overheat quickly. Provide cool, shaded spots and limit playtime during peak heat.

🐶 Know the signs of heatstroke:
Heavy panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, or collapse. If you see these, act fast — get your dog to a vet immediately.

---

❤️ They trust us to keep them safe. Let’s not let the heat steal their joy — or their lives.
