Bart is Ready for a Family

Pet of the Week for November 7, 2026

At just a year-and-a half old, Bart has a whole lot of love packed into one wiggly package. This energetic young dog is full of personality and is endlessly curious about the world around him. Whether it’s spotting a bird, investigating an interesting smell, or greeting a new friend, Bart approaches life with enthusiasm and his tail never seems to stop moving.

For a young dog like Bart, life in a kennel is no substitute for the real adventures he’s ready to experience. He has so much potential, and what he needs most right now is the chance to trade kennel walls for a home, a comfortable place to rest, and someone willing to help him discover just how wonderful life can be outside the shelter.

Bart is a smart, motivated pup who loves having a job to do and is happy to work for treats. His nose and curiosity sometimes lead the way, so he’s looking for a person who will enjoy helping him work on his leash manners, practice focusing, and learn the skills that will make him a wonderful companion. With patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and a little humor, Bart could make an incredibly rewarding training partner.

Could you be the person to give Bart that opportunity? He would love a foster home to help him blossom, or even better, a forever family ready to grow and learn alongside him.

You can meet Bart at FAAS, 1590 Fortmann Way, Wednesday and Thursday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The shelter is closed daily from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. for naptime.
