11. Harriet
Well, well, well, it seems that our sweet “ older gal” Harriett is not so old. We were originally told 11 years old but knew that couldnt be true. Our vet estimate about 7. After an older adopter took this sweet girl home, she realized that she has a lot more energy than expected for an old dog. Her vet confirmed that she is probably closer to 5 years old. Since she was a bit too much for our older adopter so she is back and looking for a new home. She would thrive in a more active owner with a fenced in yard as she so enjoys being outside. She absolutely loves all people, especially kids. Harriet is completely house trained and takes food and treats like a lady. Her adopter says she is an absolute dream dog, with a very gentle nature, she is just more than she can handle at her age. She is quiet in the house with very little barking. She is up to date on vaccines, microchipped and has exposure to cats. Harriet would do best as the only dog or with a submissive laidback male.Please visit our website for more info on our adoption process and adoption application www.barkdogfarm.org

20. Kemba
Kemba was placed by the rescue in 2020. The adopters have requested our help in rehoming her.
Kemba really is a great dog with so much love to give. She's incredibly affectionate and loves being around people. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or just curling up next to you on the couch, she's happiest when she's spending time with someone. One of the things we've always loved about her is how easily she adjusts to whatever we're doing. She can play ball for hours if you're up for it, but she's just as happy lounging on the couch all afternoon. She sleeps well at night, usually on the living room couch.
Read more about Kemba
She's always been great with kids, from little ones to teenagers, and gets along really well with other animals. She doesn't have any issues with resource guarding, but she definitely likes being the center of attention! If another animal is getting some love, she'll sometimes try to get your attention back on her.

Adopting a dog in Plymouth
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
