Here's what the humans have to say about me:
There is something about a senior dog that brings out the best in us. Loving an elderly pup who wants nothing more than to love and be loved is so gratifying.
Meet Barney, a 15 yr old mixed breed boy who is affectionate, gentle, wise...and blind. His loss of eyesight doesn't stop this handsome fella from exploring his safe environment - in between long naps, cuddles with humans, and the occasional snack.
This sweet boy shows his gratitude for pets and ear scratches by gently asking for more. And then, off for another long nap. Barney is house trained and asks to be let out to do his business. But as an older gent, he may "leak" in between potty breaks. His foster mom easily solved that fact of life by giving Barney a stylish diaper to keep him comfortable. Berry also receives daily (low cost) meds required for his advanced age, which he takes without protest.
A caring benefactor has generously offered to cover the adoption fee for the loving person/family who would like to give Barney a home.
Would you like to love a sweet, gentle soul during the last stage of his life? Barney will reward you with unconditional love and affection. Go to: www.AlmostHomeDogRescueNC.com to submit your no-cost/ no-obligation adoption application. An Adoption Coach will then reach out by phone to tell you all about this special guy.
