Barkley

My story

Hi, it’s me, Barkley.I’m a 2½-year-old blue nose pit. I’m neutered, and I’ll be up-to-date on my shots before adoption. Over the last year, I’ve come such a long way with the help of so many people. A foster home tore me down, but it hasn’t stopped me from becoming the dog I was meant to be. Thanks to my amazing foster mom and my dog trainer, Jessica at Colletti, I’ve become a super sweet, loving dog again. It takes me a little time to warm up, but I can meet people without a muzzle now. I was even near another dog—considering how I was when I first came to my foster, that’s huge! This is a happy ending, and now I’m ready for my forever home. My perfect family would have kids at least 17 years old. No cats. Other dogs will depend on the dog. My new family should know that I’m a reactive dog who needs slow and steady introductions—the calmer, the better. The more confidence my owner has, the more confidence I have. I need a special kind of family that can give me the time, patience, and love I still deserve. My dog trainer will give one free session to whoever adopts me, and my rescue will always be there for any questions or concerns. What are you waiting for?
