My story

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

Hi! My name is Barkley and I am from Missouri.

I am about 10 years old and am a Bichin Frise!

I am a little shy, but a whole lotta sweet, and I am curious and want to be loved. To top it off, I sure am cute, and I am the perfect age of 10 years old!

From her foster: Barkley, nicknamed Georgie due to her curiosity, is a very sweet and very shy little girl. She loves other dogs, but avoids all human contact so far. Her curiosity gets the best of her though, so she follows me around the house at a distance and seems happy to be just talked to.

Her house training is coming along. She seems to know that outside is the place, but doesn't give signals yet, so we try to get her outside on a schedule. It helps to have a companion dog to see what to do.

So far, she is not walking on a leash (seems afraid of it) or comfortable with steps, so we carry her outside and back in.

Given a choice, she avoids any kind of crate or kennel (the only times she barks is when she is kenneled); just prefers a soft blanket in the corner of a room so she can watch her foster sibling play. She does seem to like being in a doggie stroller, too, so she can go for long rides while we do our walks.

She really is the sweetest little thing; she just needs lots of time, lots of quiet space, and lots of patience and love so she can learn to trust humans. She is likely a flight risk due to her fear of humans; a fenced yard and/or double leashing with a harness is needed.

Go meet their pets

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.

If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

For more information on fostering or adoptable animals, please visit https://www.thebondbetween.org.

More about this rescue

The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
