11/2 Euthanasia List: Kimber , 4Y, Spayed, HW+
Kimber’s photo has stuck out to me online for the longest time and I have no idea why. I wish I knew more of her story. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to meet her last week and am super bummed she’s now on the euthanasia list, although I’m not surprised. She has an old ID number but it doesn’t look like she’s been at BARC before. They have her listed as four years old and although that’s probably close to accurate with her old number, she has the cutest gray muzzle! She is the HAPPIEST girl and makes the most of her predicament. I wish I had gotten it on camera but she cowered quite a few times when I had objects in my hands ☹️ She clearly knows how to sit and does so with gusto! She has some notes about dog reactivity and I wasn’t able to temp test her but she did well walking down the row.

Sandy A2102060 really thought this was her year 😔 There’s still one more day to make sure her costume arrives in time! She’s available at the shelter. She promises to be the best little trick or treating buddy then curl up with you for a good night’s sleep afterward. She is listed as 4 months old! If that’s true, she’s teeny tiny. She’s got a little doggy cold but the shelter provides medication as she heals.

Jack (yes, a girl Jack! kinda chic lowkey) is soooooo sweet. Poor girl must be so confused. I know it’s easy to villainize the daughter for surrendering Jack, but I’m glad she took her to a shelter vs dumping her, euthanizing her, etc. She did what she thought was best. Let Jack serve as a reminder to ensure you have a detailed plan for your pets if you aren’t around anymore!

Jack is spayed, HW-, and although 10 years old, gets around great! She’s definitely overweight at 10 pounds. She was clearly very, very loved. If wanting to adopt her, please be sure to read her medical notes and ensure you are able to care for her financially!

Medical Notes: 10/22/26:
S/O: OD mass upper lid, OS cherry eye, OU lenticular opacity, small mass dorsal neck
A: OD mass, OS cherry eye, ddx OU nuclear sclerosis/cataracts, ddx diabetes, ddx adenoma
P: OD needs mass removal and biopsy, OS needs corrective surgery, needs bloodwork to r/o diabetes, mass needs surgical removal and biopsy

Sometimes I could come up with a really sappy phrase to put over a video but this time, I have nothing to say other than that my heart just really hurts for this girl. No name, no microchip, no idea of her past 10 years on earth. She came to the shelter already spayed and overweight - I feel strongly that she once had a home. On top of that, she can’t seem to see or hear. I don’t think she was on the streets on her own for very long. She’s been here for two weeks and will absolutely be on the urgent list soon. Regardless, she should be cozied up in a home, not here in a kennel.

10/13 Euthanasia List: Chica & Puppies, 2Y/4W, HW+, Rescue Only
Chica came in as a euthanasia request with an old AID so I’m not sure what the story is there. She’s a little nervy girl but has shown a lot of bravery, coming out of her kennel and walking on a leash and taking treats and accepting pets. This is a girl that will be just fine out of the shelter!

Why are moms & puppies always on the euthanasia list? This is why! This is ONE day at ONE high intake kill shelter. 8 moms, 56 puppies that are too young to be separated and put into adoptions on their own. There is simply no room.

Chica is the only mom and pups that are still in need. All of the other families were on the euthanasia list and have been tagged by rescues!

“The more you look, the more you find. It’s all around you all the time” is a good motto to use when it comes to dogs at the shelter. There are diamonds in the rough waiting for their change to shine, and that chance could start with you!

Thankfully for Crystal, she had the fastest plan come together and Pippy’s Pals Rescue has gotten her out of the shelter and into a foster home!!! She’s a lucky little girl 🥺 Thank you everyone for caring about her the way I did!

I have found the love of my life and her name is Crystal! I have been itching to find myself an itty bitty submissive little stinky pittie and A2098530 Crystal SCRATCHED that itch! She is SOOOOO CUTE I was literally squealing with delight meeting her. No for real turn your sound off on these videos I am so annoying.

She’s been at BARC for a week already with no interest ☹️ I would hate for her to end up in the wrong hands so I’m praying and crossing my fingers that she could potentially get out early with a rescue or good adopter! She has great staff notes, is positive for demodex (not contagious), heartworm negative and had very positive dog interactions. Please let me know if you can help!

I think the argument I am most tired of having is the “don’t take them to the shelter” argument. I kid you not, someone could post a hairless, legless, toothless dog on the streets with its eye hanging out of its head, and when you open the comments someone is saying “please don’t take to a shelter, they will euthanize”. I see it so often that I truly don’t have the energy to fight it anymore.

The streets are not freedom. A dog can die on the street without ever getting the opportunity for someone to save them. Shelters are good places. Yes, even kill shelters. A shelter ensures a chance to find an owner, a foster, a rescue, or an adopter. I beg of you to always try your best to put the dogs’ well being before your own emotions. It can hard, but it will always be the right choice.

Aerith and her little ones are on the euthanasia list for tomorrow. I’m SO glad they’re off the streets and that she can sleep soundly enough that she can twitch, and that her puppies feel safe enough to be belly up. She is extremely petrified and is a major flight risk. She has reportedly chewed through leashes in order to get away, but she has shown no aggression even when cornered. If you are wanting to help her, please take this into consideration and ensure all safety measures are in place.
