My story

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

Hi! I'm Barkley and I didn't come into the shelter looking this sleek and handsome (I was handsome - just not THIS handsome). I went straight into foster so I could get some 'meat on my bones' which is exactly what happened. I am now a healthy 62 pounds, love dogs and humans, and was potty trained within 2 days (I use the dog door like a champ!).

I am very food motivated (I was actually starving prior to rescue) and guard my food a bit- I'm getting better after only 3 weeks. I play really great with the other 2 dogs in the house and share toys without issue.

I am learning not to jump on everyone when I meet them (I am just so darn excited to meet you!). I have met small dogs too without issue. I did almost take out foster moms knee with my hard head when running into the house (I didn't see her...sorry and she's fine by the way) so a house with older kids if you have any would be better for everyone. I have a bit of separation anxiety and am learning that the humans do return - so I will settle down after making a little ruckus.

I need someone who understands I am strong and still need ongoing training support but I am a super awesome doggo - won't you let me show you?

Additional adoption info

We test animals for the following:

Dogs: Good with other dogs, possibly cats, food aggression, walks on leash, noting any other attributes we may know.

Cats: Good with other cats, litter box trained, noting any other attributes we may know.

We cannot test if any animal is good with children. We may know if an animal is possibly house trained, but cannot guarantee any animal in the shelter is house trained. We do not know if a dog is good with cats unless we are advised by a person surrendering the animal. We may have an idea of this depending on how the dog reacts to our community cats that live on the property.

Please visit our website for current fees, and to find out about adoption specials! (The website link is at the top and bottom of this page)
