My story

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

Bodacious Barkley is a 3-year old lab mix who is a master at winning hearts and champion chaser of tennis balls. He fully expects a good belly rub for his hard work, and with his 1,000-watt smile who can say NO?! He's a certified good boy! He does have a pretty moderate energy level, as a typical Labrador at his age, and would make an excellent running or hiking buddy in between naps and cuddles. This guy has SO much love to give, and he's affectionate and sweet.

Barkley is heartworm negative, microchipped, neutered and up to date on all of his preventative vaccinations.
