laird

Meet Laird — the sweetest, most gentle soul you’ll ever meet. After arriving at BARCS underweight, Laird is now settling beautifully into his foster home and slowly gaining back his strength — and a few well-earned pounds! With each passing day, his personality shines through more and more. This 7-year-old boy is calm, affectionate, and grateful for every bit of love and comfort that comes his way.Laird has taken to home life like a pro. He’s fully housetrained (he’ll pace politely to let you know when it’s time to go outside) and has had zero accidents in his foster home. He snoozes quietly in his crate while his foster is at work, showing just how patient and easygoing he is. When his foster returns, Laird greets her with gentle tail wags and those soft, soulful eyes that melt your heart.Out on walks, Laird is a dream. He walks perfectly on leash — no pulling, no reactivity — and moves at a relaxed, steady pace that makes him an ideal walking buddy for someone who enjoys peaceful strolls. He’s friendly and calm when meeting new people, taking everything in stride with quiet confidence and kindness.When it’s time to relax, Laird loves nothing more than curling up beside his favorite person for cuddles. He’s a low-energy guy who enjoys the simple pleasures: a comfy bed, a gentle walk, a kind word, and the warmth of human companionship. Though he doesn’t seem too interested in toys just yet, he’s content simply being near his people, soaking up the affection he’s always deserved.Laird’s foster describes him as “the sweetest boy ever” — and it’s easy to see why. After all he’s been through, he still has nothing but love to give. He’s ready to find a forever family who will cherish his gentle heart, provide him with a safe and cozy home, and let him spend his golden years surrounded by care and affection.If you’d like to meet Laird, please complete an application and email dogfosters@barcs.org for next steps. This precious boy is ready to fill your life with quiet love and loyalty.
