Dog for Adoption - Gus PBT, 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 Gus PBT

Gus is a handsome and easy-going Pitbull/Mix. He is estimated to be around 3yr old, and is medium sized - weighing 50lbs. He is a wonderful boy who would fit well in any house. He is low key, eager to please, and is dog friendly! This sweet guy currently lives with 7 dogs in his foster home. Gus is potty trained, crate trained (12hr), and has excellent leash manners. Gus came to BarkVille Dog Rescue after he was picked up as a stray and spent time at an overcrowded metro Atlanta Shelter, where he eventually ended up on the euthanasia list. His foster Mom has nothing but wonderful things to say about him and how well he's adjusted to life in a home! He is just a big love bug who enjoys being by your side - that can be watching TV together, or going for a quick stroll around the neighborhood. Gus would excel in any household, and will make a loyal companion for a lucky family! He doesn't require a fenced yard, and would be happy living with other dogs or as the only dog. He will bark for a few minutes when he's first left alone (but settles down quickly!), so a condo or apartment may not be ideal for Gus. Gus is currently heartworm positive and is available for a foster to adopt situation until his HW treatment is complete and he is medically cleared for adoption. If you are not familiar with Heartworm disease, dogs get it from mosquitoes and it is not contagious. It is easily prevented and; highly treatable, but requires extended rest during treatment. BarkVille will cover all of his medical expenses while he is being fostered and receiving HW treatment. Gus is neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. If you're interested in fostering to adopt 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.
