Meet the delightful Barclay, the intrepid little explorer who combines the playful spirit of a puppy with the heartwarming charm of a cuddly companion! 🌟 When friends took him for a home visit, they found that this handsome black pup absolutely adores lap time—napping on your lap is his specialty! Who wouldn’t want to have a sweet snuggly friend like Barclay? ❤️ With a calm disposition and a love for cuddles, Barclay is here to turn your everyday moments into extraordinary ones. He was surrendered by a family struggling to manage multiple pets but has bounced back with resilience. Initially, he was part of a family that included his mom and siblings. It's a little bittersweet, but Barclay is ready to embark on a new adventure with YOU! 🐾 This charming little guy is about 14 weeks old, and while we believe he has a blend of Lab and German Shepherd in his DNA, the rest is still a mystery—a mystery as exciting as a new adventure! We estimate Barclay will grow to be a mid-sized pooch, but he just wants his forever family to love him no matter how big or small he gets. Barclay has lived with kids, dogs, and even cats! 🏡 He enjoys outdoor playtime, and when he’s done, he happily retreats to a comfy bed inside. Right now, he’s working on his house training—so patience is key as he learns the ropes! He’s gotten along well with the resident dog in his foster home and keeps his crate nice and clean at night. But a little tip for potential adopters: he may prefer a larger furry sibling to avoid any food jealousy. 🍽️ Starting out on this puppy journey means giving Barclay plenty of opportunities to socialize. He needs to experience the bustling world around him—the sound of vacuums, trucks, and clattering garbage cans—and the joy of meeting people and dogs of all shapes and sizes. If you’re committed to giving this little bundle of joy the social experiences he needs early on, you’re just the right person for him! 🐕‍🦺🐶 Barclay is already vet-checked, vaccinated, and de-wormed, though he will need one more puppy vaccination at his new home—adopters must cover that cost. He will also need to be altered at 6 months, and good news! The procedure is included in the adoption fee if you choose to go through the PUP clinic. If you are at least 21 years old and your whole household is ready to embrace the joys of having a puppy, it's time to take action! Remember, they are not just pets; they are companions who need your love and guidance.

Renters must provide proof that they can have a puppy, and if you have other pets, be prepared to share a vet reference.
