Winter & Tigger at B.A.R.K.S.!

My name is Winter. I was rescued by one of the BARKS volunteers who is currently fostering me. I am a very affectionate boy who loves to nuzzle in your neck and snuggle in laps. I am a bit fearful of men (though I am getting better) and young children so would do best in a quiet adult-only home.

I am up to date on all my shots, have a microchip, and am spayed.

You can find out more about me by visiting the BARKS web site at www.barksinc.com, or by filling out an adoption application: http://barksinc.com/webcatapp.html.

 

Tigger is a beautiful American Staffordshire Terrier brindle boy who is about 2 years of age. He is strong and athletic, and his coat is even more beautiful in person than in the photos! He was brought to BARKS by the police, who found him tied by a length of rope to a fire hydrant behind the local grocery store in the middle of winter.

Since Tigger came to us, we have been working on basic manners and he now sits, shakes a paw, does “high five,” and walks beautifully on the leash. He is also very well-behaved in the car. Tigger gets along with other dogs and seems uninterested in cats. He also knows he must sit first before receiving a treat, and he takes them very gently from your hand.

Tigger is very sweet and loving and completely trustworthy with people that he knows, but he is fearful of strangers. Therefore, anyone interested in adopting him must be willing to get to know him over time by making multiple visits to the shelter to slowly work with him and our volunteers. If you are that special person, please call us to come and meet this beautiful dog!!

Tigger is up to date on all shots, and will be micro-chipped and spayed prior to adoption.

Dolce: Midtown Celebrity Pomeranian!

By Courtney Leiva

When your a pomeranian living in the fashion capital of the world, it’s hard not to be anything short of fabulous. Meet Dolce, lover of Louis Vuitton, Central Park, and peanut butter. Daughter of Amy Chandra, founder of the site Mid Town Girl, get the full story on this fashion forward cosmopolitan pup!

What was it like bringing her home for the first time?
“I totally fell in love at first sight when Dolce was given to me. I had that moment when you say to yourself “where have you been all my life?” She is the best gift I have ever received.”

What kind of celebrity personality would you say Dolce is most like? Is she a Paris, a Nicole, a Kim K?
“When it comes to celebrities, I would say Dolce is most similar to Victoria Beckham, as she is uber picky & loves fabulous things. “

I see on your fabulous site MidTown Girl, Dolce is a huge fan of Louis Vuitton?
“Dolce loves my Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote. That is her go-to bag of choice. Every time I take it out, she jumps right in, ready for her day out in Manhattan.”

What are some of Dolce’s favorite places for pets in NYC
“She loves Central Park, the Barking Dog restaurant & the Ritzy Canine Hotel in Midtown.”
What are some of Dolce’s favorite things?
“Surprisingly, Dolce loves broccoli! She loves to munch on fresh turkey & veggies and occasionally, peanut butter.”

What’s a day in the life of Dolce like?
“Dolce wakes up early for her morning walk in Midtown East. She then takes a nap. After that, she has lunch and plays for an hour. She then updates her tumblr blog – Poms ‘n Purses. After a second nap, she wakes up for a snack & sometimes a quick trip to her favorite doggie store for some yummy treats & toys. In the eve, she has dinner & then goes for her nightly walk on Madison Ave. Dolce is an avid window shopper & loves boutiques.”

Dolce had her very own virtual 3rd birthday party what was that experience like?
It was so much fun! Her favorite blogger pet friends celebrated her birthday in social media style with custom signed photos posted on her birthday post. She was a birthday princess that day!
What’s Dolce’s advice to aspiring celebrity pets?
Always stay loyal to your owner as they are the people who feed you & keep you looking fabulush.

Amy, What’s your advice to celebrities with a celebrity pet?
Make sure you give your pet enough attention and exercise no matter how busy your schedule gets. Dogs are high maintenance (especially Dolce) and need lots of playtime, grooming & love.

Meet The Handsome Nicky At B.A.R.K.S!

Meet Nicky, a strikingly handsome little fellow rescued from a cat colony. A BARKS volunteer saw beyond this frightened, scared kitten and decided to foster him, giving Nicky (aka ‘Nickers’) a chance for a new life.

 Nicky was shy at first, but that has changed. He is good with his foster mom’s young son who loves to pet and brush him. With just a few weeks to adjust, he has become a delight – he loves to be petted, brushed and combed. He also loves toys (any catnip toys, feathers and toys on a pole), but will play with anything – especially anything with catnip!

 Nicky did not play in the beginning – but he now realizes what a wonderful life he can have. He went to the vet’s and got his toenails cut with no problems. He loves to be loved so much – he will just about crawl up your sleeve! He rolls over for belly rubs and adores the attention. Nicky could be adopted into a home with another accepting older cat or with another kitten, but he would have no problem with being an only kitty. If interested, please contact his foster Mom @ 908-362-5542. Thanks for considering Nicky!

 Nicky has been spayed, is up-to-date on all shots and house-trained.

 You can find out more about Nicky by visiting the BARKS web site at www.barksinc.com, or by filling out an adoption application: http://barksinc.com/webcatapp.html.

Get To Know Lucy At B.A.R.K.S.!

 

Hello, my name is Lucy. I am about 5-6 years young. My prior owner dumped me at a kill shelter because I got too old to make puppies anymore. I was so confused and scared, and I got a cold. Thank goodness, my foster mom came and bailed me out just in the nick of time. I really just want a family of my own to love. I am very well behaved. I love to play with my tennis ball, and take long walks where I can sniff everything. I am learning my manners. I know how to walk on the leash nicely, and to sit when you stop walking. I love to be pet, especially when you rub at the base of my tail and scratch my ears. I am crate trained, and when its bedtime, I am quiet and well behaved. As long as you take me out for regular bathroom trips I do not have accidents in the house. I would like to have a home by myself, or with another medium sized dog. When cats run, I can’t help myself, I chase them, so a home without small pets is a MUST. I can be a little rambunctious, and sometimes don’t realize my own strength, so no children under 10 please. As a special treat I LOVE peanut butter as a treat in my Kong rubber bone – YUM!

I am up to date on all my shots, have a microchip, and am spayed. Please contact my foster mom for my adoption details.
