My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Barney Boy!

Barney was the middle of the three siblings. He is funny, cute, smart, endearing....not pushy, not needy. Barney has been in the rescue since he was 4 weeks old! We don't know why he hasn't caught anyone's eye...he is gorgeous!!!

Barney is the biggest in size of the three siblings but he doesn't know it. He does not use his size and weight against his older brother Fred. He doesn't know that he is bigger and stronger than him. When he is done playing, he is happy to grab a toy and play with it all by himself. But, he LOVES to jump in and out of the kiddie pool with the other dogs and puppies. He loves to play with dogs and pups of all ages and sizes!

And once he is tired, he is GREAT about choosing any kennel and catching a nap. Lately, he is also likes just picking a spot in the grass away from the noisy puppies to just chill. Sometimes, he is not really interested in coming back inside for his nap. He likes to hang outside for his naps at times.

His potty trained! He is happy to go outside at 7am from being in his kennel the whole night sleeping like an angel. He goes straight to his spot and takes care of his business. He does not have any accidents in his kennel either.

Barney is working on leash walking and training.

Barney has all 4 parvo shots, bordatella shot, and rabies shot. He has been dewormed several times. He is neutered and has been tested and treated (if needed) and retested for coccidia and giardia. He is chipped. He has been heartworm preventative since he was 6 weeks old - Iverhart. And he is on fleas and ticks preventative - Simparica.

Are you looking for a CHILL dude? Barney is your guy!
