Barbell

My story

ABOUT BARBELL This gorgeous guy is a 1.5-year-old mix breed with lots of love to give! Barbell came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana when they no longer had space for him. Despite being in the shelter, Barbell has a larger than life personality, always making us laugh! He loves tossing his toys around, zooming in our fenced fields, and snuggling up to you for love. Barbell has enjoyed participating in our Doggy Day Out program too! Check out what our volunteers have to say about him: "I got to spend the day with Barbell. He needed a little encouragement to get in the car, but once in he was so relaxed. I took him to my house and we went out for a walk in the neighborhood. He's great on a leash. We took a short walk through the woods and liked exploring the different grasses. Back at the house he warmed up to my son and liked plopping into our laps and get back scratches. He also liked gnawing on toys and playing tug of war. He gradually became less nervous around my husband, and I think with time he would have warmed up to him. Overall, a great time! Barbell is both chill and playful. He will make his forever family very happy!" - Angela "I got to take Barbell out to Alapocas today. The weather was awesome; nice and cool. This youngster was perfectly behaved. He didn’t pull on the leash or bark. The only exception was when others walked by; he pulled towards them and I had to redirect him. I think he wanted their love! He was a dream in the car. Whoever adopts this handsome baby will be a lucky person indeed!" - Nadia If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Barbell, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
