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
CoCo Pebbles
COAL
Meet Coal, a 2-year-old neutered & vaccinated male longhair black cat.
Coal came to BAARX after he had been found on the streets of Ely partially shaved! No owner ever came forward to claim him, so BAARX had him neutered and vaccinated for adoption.
Coal is a fairly friendly guy, but doesn’t like being handled or brushed, so we are posting him as a semi-feral cat.
Coal seems to do ok with other cats, but he does not care for dogs.
Coal’s adoption fee is waived due to his semi-feral status. Regular BAARX screening and vetting of potential adopters still applies.
TWIX
Meet Twix, a 6–7-month-old neutered & fully vaccinated boy that is as sweet as can be!
Twix came to BAARX after being surrendered to Ely Animal Control. He is your typical happy, friendly juvenile kitten, is litterbox trained and does well with other cats. Dogs are unknown.
Twix’s adoption fee is $85.00
CAPPUCCINO
Meet Cappuccino! Cappuccino is a 8-month-old fully vaccinated male Siamese mix kitten. Cappuccino will be neutered on 12/4/2024 and available for adoption on 12/5/2024.
Cappuccino was surrendered to Ely Animal Control with two of his siblings and three other kittens before coming to BAARX.
Cappuccino is a sweet, curious, playful kitten. He would be a nice addition to any home.
Cappuccino’s adoption fee is $85.00
DEPUTY DAWG
Meet Deputy Dawg! This little chunk is a 7-month-old Lab/Frenchie mix. He is fully vaccinated and neutered.
Deputy Dawg came to BAARX from Ely Animal Control after his stray hold was up…. He was picked up running at large.
Deputy Dawg is a smart, loving boy who wants to learn. He is a medium/high energy pup that likes to play quite rough with the other dogs he is in foster with…. For this reason, we are recommending a home with NO small breed dogs! He does well with the large dogs in his current foster home, but he will let them know if they get a little too rough with him. He is crate trained but is not yet house trained.
Being a puppy, Deputy Dawg will need a home willing to give him the time, patience and training that all puppies need! Due to his energy level and desire to play rough, he’ll need a home with children 12 years old or older if there are children in the home.
Deputy Dawg’s adoption fee is $125.00.
SKITTLES
Meet Skittles! Skittles is a 6-month-old spayed & fully vaccinated female domestic shorthair kitten.
Skittles was originally from Caliente, but when her feral mama was killed a Good Samaritan took her and her two littermates in and raised them until they were about 5-6 weeks old and eating on their own. It was at that time that they came to BAARX.
Skittles is your typical happy, friendly, playful kitten that would be a nice addition to any home.
Skittles adoption fee is $85.00.
LATTE
Meet Latte! Latte is an 8-month-old fully vaccinated male domestic shorthair kitten. Latte will be neutered on 12/4/2024 and available for adoption on 12/5/2024.
Latte was surrendered to Ely Animal Control with two of his siblings and three other kittens before coming to BAARX.
Latte is a sweet, curious, playful kitten. He would be a nice addition to any home.
Latte’s adoption fee is $85.00
MUSHI
Mushi is a 10-month-old Belgian Malinois mix. She is spayed and UTD on her vaccinations.
Mushi had a rough start in life, having been locked in a bathroom with little to no socialization or training, so she is just now learning things that most 9-month-old pups would already know. She is a smart but sometimes submissive & shy girl who will require patience and love to teach her and bring out the best in her.
Mushi is an active girl that would thrive in a home that can keep her physically and mentally stimulated. Her worst habit is that because she wants attention so badly, she jumps on you.... we are working on teaching her that sitting nicely gets you attention, not jumping. For this reason, we recommend a home with children 12 y/o or older.
We are still working on Mushi's housetraining, but she is doing ok with that ~ she will use potty pads. She sleeps in a crate at night but will sometimes still have an accident in it. She is also a counter surfer, so we are working on teaching her that that behavior is not acceptable.
Mushi will also climb fences to be with her people if they are on the other side of the fence. So far, she has not climbed a fence otherwise.
Despite not having been taught things that most dogs of Mushi's age would already know, she is smart and eager to learn and please.... She will thrive and be an amazing dog in a home willing to give her what she needs!
Mushi currently lives with both small and large dogs and does well with both, but can be a little rough with small dogs, so a home with dogs her size or larger is recommended. Cats are unknown.
Mushi’s adoption fee is $125.00.
AXEL
Meet Axel, a 10-month-old neutered male, fully vaccinated Belgian Malinois mix…. we’re guessing that he may have a little Husky in him due to his curly tail!
Axel came to BAARX from Ely Animal Control after his stary hold was up…. He had been picked up running at large.
Axel is a medium/high energy boy who is crate trained and appears to be housetrained ~ no accidents in the house so far! He is young and still needs to be taught boundaries & manners, but he is a smart boy and seems to want to learn. He does well with other dogs his size, but small dogs are not recommended due to the fact that Axel can be predatory towards them, as well as with cats and other small animals. Due to Axel’s size and energy, he’ll need a home with children 12 years old and older if there are children in the home.
Axel’s adoption fee is $125.00.
WONTON
Meet Wonton, a 6-month-old neutered & fully vaccinated male Siamese mix kitten.
Wonton was surrendered to Ely Animal Control with two littermates when he was about two weeks old. Luckily BAARX had a mama cat that had recently weaned her own litter, so we were able to let her raise these kittens as well.
Wonton is your typical happy, friendly, playful kitten that would be a nice addition to any home.
Wonton’s adoption fee is $85.00.
LUCKY CHARM
Meet Lucky Charm, aka, Lucky! Lucky is a 1-year-old fully vaccinated male domestic shorthair cat. Lucky will be neutered on 12/4/2024 and available for adoption on 12/5/2024.
Lucky was surrendered to Ely Animal Control with five other cats and three newborn kittens before coming to BAARX.
Lucky is a sweet boy who loves to have his cheeks scratched. He would be a nice addition to any home.
Lucky’s adoption fee is $85.00
MAGGIE
Meet Maggie, a very sweet, fully vaccinated 5-year-old female German Shepherd Dog mix. Maggie was a stray from Cherry Creek that came to BAARX ready to give birth to a litter of puppies. She soon after delivered 11 puppies, but only 8 puppies survived.
Maggie and her 8 puppies have been in one of our amazing foster homes, and here is what her foster mom has to say about Maggie: “Maggie has had a loving home and good life at some point, as she is house trained, knows how to sit, come and doesn’t run off. Maggie is leash trained and loves to ride in the car…. she also loves to meet people and doesn’t know a stranger! Maggie is great with other dogs and most other animals as well, including livestock & poultry, and is just a sweet all-around good girl.
Maggie will be spayed prior to going to her new home, but BAARX is currently taking applications for her.
Maggie’s adoption fee is $125.00.
MAGGIE’S PUPPIES
