Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Bark Twain might not have been crowned the greatest humorist in the U.S., but he definitely knows how to sit and shake on command-so who's the real genius here? This 6-year-old boy is a bundle of affection, energy, and fun, making him a perfect companion for an active home.
Bark Twain is housebroken, knows some basic commands, and loves to cuddle, but he's also got a playful side that shines when he's out for walks or playtime with his dog friends. He walks well on a leash, though he can be a bit reactive toward strangers and other dogs, so he'll do best with experienced owners who can help him work through that. He'll also thrive with tolerant, confident dog friends who can match his energy and play style.
While Bark Twain passed his cat test at the shelter, he would do best in a home without cats, and we always recommend slow introductions to any new pets. Bark Twain is also good with older kids and would be a great addition to a family that can provide him with the love, attention, and playtime he craves.
If you're looking for a dog who's affectionate, playful, and always ready to entertain with his antics, Bark Twain is the boy for you! He's ready to be your loyal companion, and with a little training and patience, he'll be the best buddy you've ever had.
Bark Twain's adoption fee is waived thanks to Perry's Pump Repair.

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of North Central Florida was created in 2018 when the leadership of the Alachua County Humane Society, Gainesville Pet Rescue, and Helping Hands Pet Rescue decided to permanently join forces. By becoming the Humane Society of North Central Florida, our organizations were able to effectively streamline services for pets and pet owners, eliminate any duplication of services, maximize our community’s resources, and improve the life-saving abilities of the entire region.
Our founding organizations have been dedicated to serving pets in Alachua County for more than 40 years. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is a limited intake, no-kill animal rescue shelter. The animals in our facility are transferred from open-intake and/or managed admission municipal shelters across North Central Florida. The Humane Society of North Central Florida is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization. As such, we do not receive funding from federal agencies, nor are we affiliated with any other state or national organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States or the ASPCA.
