Barney

My story

Meet Barney! Barney was born in February and is a flat-coated Australian Shepherd mix with maybe a few other breeds, about 45 pounds. He is so sweet and affectionate. He loves to be close to his people and loves to play with his dog friends. He is a happy, playful pup with so much love to give. Barney is fully house-trained and not destructive (although he will pick up a shoe every once in a while). He plays well with other dogs, plays fetch, loves chasing water, and plays with toys (although he tends to stay close to his people). He is doing great on a leash, especially if you reassure him with new sights and sounds. Barney gets very energized when excited and can be jumpy and vocal. We are teaching him to take a chill pill.  In new situations, he looks to his people for guidance and does well, calming down with proper support and guidance from his people. Easy peasy if you are consistent and he is young and will turn these habits off with consistent reminders. He is so smart, eager to please, and ready to learn. He will thrive in a home that he gets a lot of attention, love and continued training.  Barney is vaccinated, chipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $525 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life!
