My story

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

Meet Barry, a resilient and loving dog with a heart full of potential. Barry's journey hasn't been easy; he came from a hoarding case and has faced challenges along the way. Despite his tough start, he's proving to be an incredibly sweet and affectionate companion.

Barry absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys his time at playgroup, where he gets to socialize and have fun. Though the world can be a bit intimidating for him, and he might be cautious around new people, he warms up quickly and reveals his true self-a delightful cuddle bug with a penchant for giving happy wiggles when people approach his kennel.

Because of his past, we don't have much information about how Barry will adjust to a home environment, but his eagerness to connect and his affectionate nature suggest he'll thrive in a loving, patient home. If you're looking for a dog who's ready to shower you with love and cuddles, and who needs a little extra patience and understanding, Barry is the perfect match. Come meet him and see how he can bring joy and warmth into your life!
