My story

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

CENSUS DEADLINE 5PM 11/04/24
AVAILABLE FOR LONG TERM FOSTER 30+ DAYS OR ADOPTION THOUGH PACC
Name: Barbara
Animal ID: A837647
Age: 1 year 6 months
Weight: 50 lbs.
About: Barbara is a sweet and playful pup seeking her forever home. She came to the shelter due to behavioral challenges stemming from her interactions with a young child in her previous home. While she mostly did ok with the young child, she can be energetic and would benefit from training and guidance to ensure positive interactions with children, especially younger ones. She does have one documented bite on her record when she was overstimulated and being too much for the young child.
Despite her challenges, Barbara has shown a lot of potential. Her previous owners noted that she knows how to use a doggy door and enjoys spending time outside in a yard. She is friendly and enjoys playtime. However, she can be selective with other dogs, often preferring the company of male dogs.
The stress of the shelter environment has exacerbated her reactivity, leading to occasional minor altercations in her kennel.
Volunteer Insights
Volunteers have described Barbara as a cheerful, playful, and affectionate dog. She can be independent. She is also responsive to training and enjoys human interaction.
To ensure a successful placement, it`s recommended that Barbara meet any resident dogs before going home to assess compatibility.
An ideal home for Barbara would be one with experienced dog owners who can provide consistent training and socialization. A calm and quiet environment will help her adjust to her new surroundings.
