Meet Barkley, a 2-year-old Shepherd mix with a striking red merle coat and a big heart in Chattanooga, TN. His story is one of true care—after his senior owners couldn’t keep up with his needs, the team at Ashland Terrace Animal Hospital made sure he landed somewhere safe. Barkley is genuinely joyful, blending adventure with affection. He’s quick to make a connection, greeting new faces with curiosity and warmth. Expect plenty of good company whether you’re exploring outside or relaxing indoors—he’s eager to be part of your daily routine. At 63 pounds with a medium-length coat, Barkley is up for both activity and downtime. He's house trained, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and gets along well with other dogs. All adoptions and meet-and-greets for Barkley are by appointment, so you’ll need to plan ahead. As a fun astrological tidbit, Barkley is a Pisces—so don’t be surprised if he’s a little extra affectionate. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
