Meet Barkley! 🌟 This sweet, gentle soul is a 1-year-old neutered male who weighs in at a delightful 37 pounds. Barkley is not just any pup; he’s got a heart of gold! 💖 Born to a beautiful black wired-haired Dachshund mom, we suspect his father might have been some kind of Pit Bull Terrier mix. We may not know much about him, but what we do know is that Barkley is ready to shine! ✨ Barkley’s story isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. He and his mother, along with his 7 rambunctious siblings, were abandoned. 😢 As a result, Barkley is a little shy and apprehensive around new people and places. But fear not! This lovable boy has made incredible strides. With time, he’s learned to enjoy walks and grooming sessions—things he had never experienced before! 🐶💆‍♂️ Despite his shy nature, Barkley is the calmest and most forgiving fellow. Imagine this: he let all 7 of his younger siblings bounce around him like they were on a trampoline! 🎉 He’s house-trained, but here’s a quirky little tidbit—he doesn’t bark to go outside. In fact, he barely barks at all! It’s taken him quite some time to understand that it's safe to eat without competition from his mother. 🥺 Barkley would really thrive in a setting that allows him to be independent and explore what it truly means to be a dog. He’s even making friends at dog daycare! 🐕‍🦺 As for the cats? Well, Barkley hasn’t had the pleasure of meeting any yet, so we can’t say for sure! But who knows what magic might happen when they do? Barkley is a treasure waiting for a loving home.
