Barney

*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***

Meet big man Barney! He is currently enrolled in our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and he is just about ready to show off his new skills! His new abilities include 'sit', 'wave', 'pray' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.

Barney is just a big puppy with a lot of love to give. He's a large dog, around 75-80 pounds. At times he can let his stubbornness override and let his puppy-ness show through. He really likes playing with the other dogs and may enjoy a canine buddy in his new home.

He seems to be house trained and does ok in his kennel when he needs to be in there. He's learned lots of new tricks and can't wait to show them off. When he first interacted with a cat, he didn't seem too fazed by them. If you have a cat and are interested, we can introduce him to one again.

Barney can be a bit mouthy when he wants attention from his people. He doesn't bite down, but young children may not appreciate this behavior. It's something to be aware of.

If you're looking for a large new buddy, Barney will be the loyal and lively companion you're looking for. He will graduate from PACK in the middle of June. Apply to meet him today!
