Description
Summary:
Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue seeks experienced, dog-savvy fosters for Barnabus, a specialized Cocker Spaniel/Terrier mix needing an adult-only, calm home with structure and understanding.
Highlights:
1. Opportunity to save dogs in need by providing a safe and loving home.
2. Support provided, including food, supplies, medical care, and rescue assistance.
3. Help dogs decompress, feel loved, and move closer to adoption.
Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue is looking for a foster for Barnabus, a medium-sized adult Cocker Spaniel/Terrier mix. Needs to be the only dog in the home. If you are interested in fostering but cannot foster Barnabus, reach out either way, we would love to have you on the team, saving dogs in need!
Dates needed:
August 4–August 11
and again
August 13–August 17
Barnabus is smart, playful, ball-motivated, and does best with a calm, confident person who can give him structure and respect his space. He enjoys walks, fetch, and routine. He has made progress with training, but he is a specialized foster placement and needs someone experienced.
Important: Barnabus is not a good fit for other animals or kids. He needs an adult-only foster home. He has a history of resource guarding with food/toys and can snap or lunge if he feels pressured, grabbed, or handled too quickly. He is not a “hug/cuddle on demand” dog and needs someone who understands dog body language and boundaries.
He also has ongoing skin/allergy care, so his foster will need to follow simple care instructions and keep the rescue updated. Food, supplies, and support will be provided.
Best fit:
Only dog home
Adult-only home
No kids
Calm environment
Dog-savvy foster
Experience with reactive/resource-guarding dogs preferred
Able to provide structure, walks, and space
Comfortable following care instructions
If you can help Barnabus for either date range, please reach out with your phone number, availability, location, and dog experience.
