Meet Barris, a spirited 4-year-old, 12 lb Cairn Terrier Mix who has blossomed from a timid former breeding dog into a lively, curious, and confident companion! She's a tiny powerhouse with a big personality, playful, energetic, and incredibly smart. Barris loves racing around the yard and is just beginning to discover the joy of toys. She's also a bit of a mischievous collector, happy to "borrow" soft toys, shoes, paper, or even your coffee if it's within reach! While not a cuddly lap dog, she is becoming a sweet companion, showing affection through happy tail wags and the occasional kiss as she continues to build trust with both humans and dogs.
Ideal Home
Barris needs a patient and confident adopter who can provide clear direction and structure. A securely fenced yard is essential, as she's an impressive escape artist with a high jump. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive with a canine friend in her forever home. However, she absolutely must not live with cats, as she has a high prey drive and will chase them. Barris does well with adults, but quick movements from children can overwhelm her, so she is not suited for a home with kids.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are noted in the description.
Training & Support
Barris is crate-trained and nearly fully potty-trained. She is excellent on a leash and enjoys short walks or yard time for exercise. Her adopter must be mindful of keeping surfaces clear, as she is known to grab anything she can reach.
