Barley *FTA*

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Introducing Barley! Barley came to us as a dedicated and attentive mother with her two young pups. Rescued from a hoarding situation last year, she wasn't shown the love and care she deserved. Despite her past, Barley is ready to find her forever home. Barley is still timid and will need time to trust her new family. She craves love and will bond with you slowly each day. She adores attention, belly rubs, and every toy you have to offer—once she feels safe. Barley needs a few secure places in the home where she can relax, grow her confidence, and hoard her "babies" (toys). A quiet environment with gentle and patient people is essential for her. She is not fond of small children, as they frighten her.  She will go to her safe spot. Barley is an adorable small dog who needs a small, fenced yard to keep her safe. She mingles well with other dogs, as long as they respect her safe spots and don't take her special toys. She will follow their lead and even play with them, but never aggressively. With time, love, and patience, Barley will grow with you, earning trust by providing her space and basic needs. Eventually, she'll seek belly rubs and give kisses. Barley is potty trained. Barley will carry her toys outside, hide them at first to keep them safe, and always stay close to them. Imagine the time it takes to recover and learn to love again after living in a bad situation. Barley is ready to find her permanent home  * Note: Barley is part of our Foster to Adopt program.
