Barbell is a young, medium-sized mixed breed who’s still learning the ropes. He tends to hang back at first, especially with new faces or in unfamiliar places, but he’s picking up confidence through treats and watching other dogs. Water is his thing—if he fits in it, he’s getting wet, whether that’s a kiddie pool or a water bowl. In dog playgroups, Barbell’s style is push-and-pull, but he doesn’t shy away from the rowdy bunch. He does best around other dogs, so a home with a resident canine would help him settle in. House training is still a work in progress and consistency will be key. Barbell is neutered and vaccinated. He’s currently at Metro Nashville Animal Care and Control in Nashville, TN, waiting for someone who appreciates a dog that likes to make a splash. Ready to fall in love?
