Barbie Needs a Foster or Adopter by 5/29/26 to Secure Her Ride to Wisconsin

Barbie is currently in a kill shelter in Georgia and needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to secure her
spot on transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on 5/29/26. A committed home is
required for her to make the trip, otherwise she will be stuck at the shelter.

Meet Barbie

Barbie is a 4-year-old Lab/Pit mix who is ready for a fresh start after being surrendered by her
previous owner. Despite everything, she has held onto her joyful, spirited personality. She is
currently a shelter favorite and has done well meeting male and female dogs during play group.

She is full of life, bounce, and playful energy. Always ready to get up and go, Barbie brings
excitement wherever she is. With her bright eyes and happy spirit, she is hard not to fall in love
with.

She enjoys getting outside for walks and fresh air, though she is still working on her leash
manners and would benefit from consistency and guidance. She absolutely loves tennis balls
and could play all day. With the right home, some training, and plenty of love, Barbie has the
potential to become a loyal and wonderful companion.
