The B-A-R

The B-A-R The B-A-R challenges you silly humans to think outside the box. There are just too many little pups out there in need! Problem - identified.

Ever since the two of us were taken home by Guy Human and Lady Human, we’ve been trying to figure out a way to help the other puppies looking for a home as great as ours. First, we thought about starting a non-profit frisbee factory, but that turned out to be pretty complicated logistically. Next, we developed a plan to launch the world’s first ever squirrelly race track, but we just couldn’t sta

y focused. Finally, it hit us - we needed to motivate them with a business plan centered around their interests! We frequently overhear them talking about meeting up with friends at a bar, so that’s what we’re going to have to build! The B-A-R (spelling vs. blurting around easily excitable puppies is strongly encouraged) offers a cold drink for humans, and a safe place for all dogs (sorry cats), to sniff some butts while sheltered from the unpredictable Chicago weather - no more excuses for our humans there! Patrons of The B-A-R can rest assured that their pup's "new friends" have all been socially vetted (by us experts) and vaccinated (by actual experts). Additionally, all dogs over the age of one must be spayed or neutered. With that, and a drink in their hand, we're confident our humans will let us socialize and play longer AND more often!

we might not have thumbs, but we can count to five! introducing the latest addition to family of fosters, Charlie! Charlie’s a 3-month-old lab/retriever mix who’s incredibly smart, playful, and like his predecessor Olive, has some mad soccer skills. thank you to all the families of our previous fosters who adopted, not shop-ted. the addition to your families allowed us to give Charlie a Christmas in a loving home. needless to say, it went from poopy to fresh AF. hit us up for details if you’re interested in adopting this guy, or check out his bio on the website! merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa, and happy any other holiday that gives you an excuse to paw-ty on a weekday!!!
