Welcome to Blueridge Acres Rescue Kennel & Sanctuary (BARKS). Our mission is to increase the overall standard of dogs on FP. We do this by taking in unwanted/neglected/at-risk dogs and caring for them exactly as any high-quality showing kennel would. All of our dogs are fed & equipped with level-appropriate stat raising items, played with, watered, groomed, trained, and shown each and every day. At level 2 they are put up for adoption to showing homes.
No dogs are ever bred here, for any reason, at any time. Kennel policy changing due to the addition of achievements! Dogs are only bred here if a) They have reached 101 days of age with no suitable home found and b) They have attained a high level and the pairing will improve overall breed quality.
BARKS is the largest full-time leveling rescue on FP, with room for 1,500 dogs presently and a goal to increase to 1,600 dogs in the very near future (and possibly expand to a second kennel!).
Please feel free to message me if there is a dog you would like to surrender! If kennel space is an issue, BARKS prioritizes dogs under 50 days.
BARKS dates back to FP Beta, where it was known as Blueridge Fields Rescue Center (BFRC). There we were possibly the largest rescue, with room for over 100 dogs (back when 100+ dogs were near impossible to care for!). Our mission was simply to increase the percentage of leveled dogs on the game. We are now attempting to get re-established on the new FP, including expanding our kennel size and staying Elite so that our dogs are provided with the largest competitive advantage possible.
We currently have one affiliate kennel, owned by Shepherd (#150749). Our affiliates conform to the same high standards of care and have rights to our prefix. Affiliates may have slightly different methods of running their kennels, including higher standards of adoption and breeding high-leveled dogs of retiring age in order to improve breed quality. Please contact me if you are interested in becoming an affiliate kennel.
Yes, I know the dogs are pixels. No, you're not a terrible person if I purchase a dog from you. I just find this a fun way to play the game!
Been playing FP for over 10 years now! I remember when:
Adoptable dogs are generally priced at $500 X Level, though some high demand dogs may be priced up to $1,000 X Level (usually rare colored/age 101 dogs). Prices are highly negotiable for interested kennels which meet adoption requirements. These prices are set to cover costs associated with the training, accessorizing, and upkeep of dogs. Additional donations are greatly appreciated, as all proceeds from dog sales go to kennel upkeep.
NOTE: I am currently considering public sales of dogs at age 101+ (due to the high amounts of level 1 dogs coming in to the kennel and limited kennel space), so the following may soon apply to privately sold dogs only.
The request list exists for players that want notification when certain breeds or dogs with specific characteristics are available at BARKS. Want to be added for a breed or dog? Message me!
We're doing just fine right now financially and have no specific need for donations. Despite this, they're always welcome if you're looking to clear out your inventory. Any item will be used!
Many thanks to all donors! We greatly appreciate your generosity.

While we aim to find a suitable home for every dog at BARKS, sometimes one cannot be found. Dogs who are never adopted out and reach 101 days of age are occasionally taken in by our affiliate kennel and retired.
