Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Barney has been attending the "Biggest Loser" for dogs, and he has lost 25 lbs! He still has his wonderful happy disposition and is ready for his new home.
Barney is a handsome, extremely overweight Bichon who needs Jenny Craig. He was dumped in a local shelter, weighing in at 55 lbs! He was extremely matted and was groomed while in the shelter. Barney is about 8 yrs young, and by the way he acts, you would think he was a puppy. After his grooming, he was so happy that he ran around the yard, playing with a ball. Barney has brought so much joy to me with his playful attitude and happy disposition. He will entertain himself with a toy, throwing it in the air and catching it, or spend the day with the other dogs running around the yard. He needs a home with someone who will take the time to monitor his eating and give him the exercise he needs to lose another 20 lbs. At the vets last week, he weighed in at 48.8 lbs, so he is getting some of the weight off. The blood work came back normal, so it isn't a medical reason for his extreme weight, just poor judgement on the previous owners part. This is a wonderful dog who will fit into almost any home. Don't let his age deter you, as he is an active, playful dog. If you think Barney might be a good fit for you, please contact Debbie at debwolfecorgis@gmail.com.
