Barb

Hi, I’m Barb ❤️🐾<br/><br/>I’m an estimated two-year-old Beagle mix weighing about 20 pounds. I came to the shelter as a stray on 04-06-2026 with a wire painfully stuck around my leg. Thankfully, I received all the medical treatment I needed to recover, and now I’m feeling so much better! I’ve also been spayed, vaccinated for rabies, and microchipped, which means I’m officially ready to find my forever family.<br/><br/>My adoption fee is only $45.<br/><br/>Since I’ve already been spayed, there are no geographical adoption restrictions, meaning anyone is eligible to adopt me!<br/><br/>Yesterday, one of the shelter volunteers took me out for the day and learned so much about me. I had SO much fun running around and playing with my new friend, Oakley. We played with toys, got lots of treats, and soaked up all the love and attention. I even overcame my fear of stairs with Oakley showing me how it’s done!<br/><br/>I also met a cat. I thought she looked fun and wanted to lick her and play, but apparently, cats don’t always appreciate enthusiastic Beagle energy 😂 I did well with her, though, and I may just need a little time to understand cats better.<br/><br/>Now, let’s talk about Beagles. Yes, we follow our noses everywhere. Yes, we think personal space is overrated. Yes, we may occasionally act like tiny detectives solving important snack-related mysteries. But we also love BIG. We are loyal, affectionate, goofy, and happiest when we’re with our people. If you want a dog who will make you laugh, keep you company, and absolutely smother you with love, I might just be your girl.<br/><br/>I’m ready to start my next adventure with a family of my own ❤️<br/><br/>📍 Stafford County Animal Shelter<br/>26 Frosty Lane<br/>Stafford, VA 22554<br/><br/>🕒 Shelter Hours:<br/>Monday through Friday: 11:00 AM – 5:30 PM<br/>Saturday: 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM<br/><br/>⚠️ Adoptions stop 30 minutes before closing.
