My story

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

**Currently fostered in Conroe Texas**

Meet Barkley!

This sweet baby wandered up on someone's property. He was wearing a harness on that had the brand name boots and barkley, so that's where the finder got his name.

Barkley was chipped, but unfortunately it was not registered. It shows that he was adopted in January, and that he is estimated about 5 years of age. He currently weighs around 55 lbs and we believe him to be a border collie/cattle dog mix. He has a ton of energy and he loves to run and play. His favorite thing in the world is to play fetch with a ball! Although, make sure it isn't a tennis ball or you'll find them in pieces!

Barkley clearly was a dog that wasn't well socialized with others prior to coming into rescue. So far, he has done well with large female dogs, but he clearly lacks social skills. He does not like male dogs, and smaller dogs he is much to pushy for. He very clearly wants to be friendly, but struggles due to a lack of social skills. We believe with continued socialization with healthy, playful dogs will yield continued success with him! We suggest no cats though since he has a prey drive and goes after the squirrels and chickens.

Barkley clearly knows his basic commands, such as sit, kennel, shake and settle. He is highly toy and food motivated and responds wonderfully to focused training. While he still struggles with impulse control, he has continued to show great results. With continued training, we could even see him being an agility pup!

Barkley is crate trained, housebroken and does well on leash. He is fully vetted, meaning he us neutered, up to date on all vaccines, microchipped and on monthly preventions for flea, tick and heartworm.

Once decided on said pet, we offer the payment for adoption fee which will include sales tax, as well as require a signed adoption contract.

Take the Pet Home

If local we bring the pet to you or allow pickup. If out of state, we offer several different transportation options that are safe.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is quick and simple, taking approximately only 3-5 days to complete once started. Our requirements are as follows:
Must be 21 yrs or older to apply
All other pets must be current on vetting and be spayed/neutered
All animals must be living indoors unless they are farmlife.
Our dogs must be kept on a good quality food to preserve their quality of life
All dogs must be kept on preventatives unless otherwise specified by your veterinarian

Adoption Process:
First you fill out our application, and then we contact your veterinarian and references while you set up a time to speak directly with the foster that cares for the dog on a daily basis and can give clear, concise information on said dog. We offer out of state adopters a chance to meet their dogs via video such as Zoom and if decided upon, we finalize with the adoption fee and contract. Once those are in hand, we schedule a drop off time via rescue transport for you and your new pet to start life together!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption center is located in Willis Tx at our two acre property, however, we do allow and strongly encourage for out of state adoptions! All visitors must book an appointment prior to coming to our facility as it is not open to the public.

More about this rescue

We are dedicated to preventing the abandonment and euthanasia of dogs by rehabilitation and behavior modification while providing education to rescues and the public. We teach rescues and pet owners the behavioral knowledge to prevent and manage unwanted canine behaviors. Providing this knowledge will lower the number of re-homed and abandoned dogs by giving pet owners the knowledge to prevent unwanted behavior from occurring.

We work diligently to understand our dogs behavior to help place them in the best possible home that they can call forever.
