About Blueridge Acres Rescue Kennel & Sanctuary

OVERVIEW

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.

HISTORY

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.

KENNEL ACCOMPLISHMENTS

OUR AFFILIATES

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.

ABOUT ME

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:

  • FPP cost 500k FPD or less.
  • Dogs didn't have colors or genetics.
  • Trick training was possible.
  • Kennels weren't in neighborhoods, and in fact you couldn't see them at all.
  • Grooming was not part of the game.
  • Dogs couldn't have chews.
  • Neither the trading center nor the FPP exchange existed, and the only thing you could send via messaging was text.
  • Dogs were shown manually (you had to click to enter each show for each dog) -- until the 20FPP SEF!
  • Scavenger hunts & special days like chocolate malt day.
  • Dogs couldn't be locked.

Adoption

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.

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS

In order to adopt one of our dogs, your kennel must meet these requirements:
  • Dogs are shown in at least 30 shows every day. If you can't show a day, lock your account.
  • No breeding before level 15. I prefer to adopt to kennels who only breed at a minimum level of 40.
  • All dogs are cared for daily to 100% condition (i.e. played with/fed/watered/groomed/trained and equipped with a bed and chew).
  • You can not be a full time rescue. If you are interested in becoming an affiliate kennel please contact me first.
  • Dogs must not be retired early. If you can no longer care for the dog, it must be either sold to a good showing home or (preferably) surrendered back to BARKS.
The following is a list of qualities that are desired in adoptive homes, but not required:
  • Dogs shown in 50 shows daily (Elite kennel or using Elite training service).
  • Dogs are fed level-appropriate stat-raising foods and are equipped with level-appropriate accessories.
  • Dogs are not bred before they are 88 or 100 days.
  • Owner is Level 10 or above.
  • Profession points in competition or training (or other professions which add bonuses to these).
