Dog for Adoption - Duke, a Pit Bull Terrier in Jackson County, GA

Barkville Dog Rescue

BarkVille Dog Rescue, formerly known as BarkTown Dog Rescue & Sanctuary, is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization committed to saving dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. We are a non-breed specific rescue, and we do not exclude dogs due to extensive medical needs. Our goal is to save dogs in the most need of rescue assistance, including older dogs, medically challenged dogs, and PitBull Terrier type dogs. We work with our friends and donors to raise the funds necessary to provide life-saving treatments for the dogs we rescue and to identify the best foster situations for the dogs in our care.Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment needed prior to adoption. Our dogs are then placed in a nurturing foster home while they await placement into their permanent home. Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of our dogs beyond the adoption process.Â Our goal is to help dogs in distress without regard to age, breed, size, or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs in the greatest need take priority.Our cost to provide basic veterinary care to a dog is about $300 and covers all necessary vaccines, spay/neuter and microchip. If the dog tests positive for Heartworm disease (as many of our GA stray dogs do), the additional cost to treat heartworms is approximately $500-$600. For dogs with injuries requiring specialized treatment and/or surgery, costs can easily increase into the thousands.Â When BarkVille becomes aware of a dog in need, we immediately get to work posting the dog on our social media platforms and networking with our internet friends & partners to make people aware of the dogâs situation. We raise funds and solicit for fosters, and once we have both, we transport the dog to one our partner vets as quickly as possible.We strive to work with area shelters and other rescue groups to develop a network of supporters and volunteers to create a better world for homeless dogs.

Meet Duke

Duke is a beautiful, friendly, loving boy in search of his forever family! Duke is estimated to be 4yr old, he weighs 70lbs, and is a Lab/Pitbull mix. Poor Duke (along with his sister) was abandoned in an apartment building, where he was covered in feces, urine, and was terrified. He spent time at an overcrowded Atlanta shelter where he was incredibly stressed. A wonderful foster stepped up for Duke, and he's now flourishing in his foster home! This sweet guy has a wonderful personality - he is fun loving, happy, and affectionate! He has a medium energy level and enjoys hanging outside in his fenced yard, playing with his foster siblings, or just being by your side getting all the pets! Duke likes everyone he meets, and has done well with kids, and the senior female dogs in his foster home. Duke is a certified good boy - he's potty trained, crate trained (8hr) and knows his basic commands. He listens to his foster Mom very well and is also gentle when taking treats! He would do well in a house with or without other dogs, and although he'd love a fenced yard, this is not a requirement. Duke is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If you're interested in adopting this handsome boy, please email us at [email protected] or submit an application at https://www.barkvilledogrescue.org/applications. BarkVille is located in Roswell, GA and our dogs are available for foster/adoption in the Greater Atlanta area. Applicants in surrounding states could potentially adopt a BarkVille dog if their application is approved, they live within 2 hours of the Roswell area, and they are able to pick up their dog from the foster home.
