Mr. Barkington has been through things most dogs never should—the kind of past you can see in his eyes, not in his behavior. After years of being tied up outside and ultimately abandoned by his previous owner, a concerned neighbor finally stepped in. Today, Mr. Barkington is an affectionate, playful adult who greets life with a wagging tail. He’s proven himself potty trained, and despite what he’s endured, he genuinely loves people and enjoys the company of other dogs and children. Underneath his golden coat, there’s just a steady presence ready to become someone’s loyal companion. Click apply to start the adoption process.
