Meet Our Adoptable Animals

Meet CoCo Pebbles, aka CoCo, a 9-year-old spayed & vaccinated Poodle/Shi Tzu/Terrier mix.

CoCo came to BAARX in February 2023 from the Winnemucca Animal Control facility.

CoCo had been in the same home as an ONLY dog with an elderly single man since she was an 8-week-old puppy. When he was no longer able to care for her, the family had no choice but to surrender her.

During CoCo’s time at AC, she was not able to be leashed or picked up without her trying to bite, but she would jump into people’s laps for attention at her own will. After getting CoCo home and observing her here, we believe that her behavior was a combination of spoiled dog syndrome & fear aggravated by kennel stress syndrome while in the animal control facility.

CoCo’s go-to behavior when she is scared or simply doesn’t want to do something is to get snappy, but I’ve found if you talk gently to her and go SLOW with her, she does much better. Within a couple days of having her with us, I was able to put a collar on her, pick her up and have her walk on a leash ~ everything that you could NOT do with her when she was at AC! CoCo still has her quirks ~ she doesn’t like you to grab her collar, but if you go slow, talk to her and do so gently, she is fine. CoCo had always been an ONLY dog, so when she first came here, she did not like any of the other dogs and would lash out at them if they invaded her space or tried to get attention while she was getting attention. She is now doing much better with them and only occasionally lashes out, but we would recommend that she be an only dog, or *possibly* in a home with another dog of her size and a non-dominant disposition.

CoCo does NOT like to go to the vet and can be an absolute demon while there!! For everyone’s safety, we do recommend she be muzzled for vet visits, or possibly given something prescribed by a veterinarian to help her relax and make the visit less stressful for everyone. CoCo is also not a fan of being groomed, but with her coat type, she does require regular grooming. She is mostly good for having her body done but needs to be muzzled to have her butt done and her head/face. She will not allow clippers near her face, so it must be scissored as much as possible. Again, something prescribed by a veterinarian to help her relax may be beneficial for grooming sessions.

CoCo does NOT like cats (other small animals/chickens would also likely be a no) and would need to be in a home where she will NOT be around children, especially littles!

All that being said, CoCo is a very loving little lady who loves to snuggle and would like nothing more than to be someone’s lap dog and best friend ~ she just needs someone who understands her quirks and who is willing to work with her in a slow and gentle manner!

CoCo is housetrained, although she does occasionally “mark” in my house due to the other dogs being here, and she sleeps in her crate at night but would LOVE to share your bed with you!!

Due to CoCo’s quirks, anyone interested in adopting or fostering CoCo will be required to sign an additional addendum stating that they are aware of CoCo’s quirks. Anyone interested in adopting CoCo will need to foster her for 30 days before making the adoption official in order to help ensure that CoCo is a good fit for your home and family.

CoCo’s adoption fee is $125.00

Trey

Meet Trey, an adorable 1 year old neutered & vaccinated Heeler/Terrier mix. Trey weighs about 30 pounds.

Trey came to BAARX from Ely Animal Control in January 2025 where he was surrendered by his owner for not getting along with other male dogs and the cats in the household. Since Trey has been with BAARX, there has only been one other (small) male dog that Trey has not gotten along with, and he ignores the cats we have here when he sees them ~ that’s not to say that he wouldn’t chase a cat if it ran from him though! Due to Trey’s past history, we are recommending a home with no dogs smaller than himself (preferably a female dog) and no cats or other small animals. We are also recommending a home with no children under the age of 12 because we do not have history on him with small children, and he also likes to jump on you when he gets excited and could injury a small child.

Trey is house trained and does sleep in a crate at night, but he honestly does not care for that and would much rather be with his person! Trey is shy at first, but once he understands that he is in a safe place, he becomes quite loving & attention seeking and really just wants to be with his person. Trey would make an excellent walking or jogging buddy, but could just as happily be your couch buddy, as long as he’s with you!

Trey is food aggressive towards other animals, so he does need to be fed separately ~ we feed him in his crate. Trey has never been food aggressive with us and will take treats nicely.

Trey’s adoption fee is $125.00

Chancie

Meet Chancie! Chancie is a 4-month-old mixed breed puppy that currently weighs about 23 pounds – we believe she may be a pit/Rottie type mix. Chancie has been started on her vaccinations and will be scheduled to be spayed soon. She came to BAARX after being rescued from a less-than-ideal home, but unfortunately her rescuer was not able to keep her, so BAARX took her into our Foster & Adopt Program.

Chancie is good with other dogs, although she can be a little shy at first with more forward dogs. She has been curious, but respectful around cats and is actually quite mellow for a puppy her age! She prefers to hang with her person, share a recliner with them or lay at their feet. Chancie seems to know “sit” and takes treats nicely, she sleeps in her crate at night and so far has not had any accidents in the house, but we are NOT labeling her as house trained at this time!

Chancie is extremely sweet and loving and would probably do well with dog savvy/respectful children 5 years old and up. Chancie is still a puppy though, so she will need an owner who will spend the time to teach and guide her so that she can grow into the amazing dog that she has the potential to be!

Chancie’s adoption fee is $175.00.
