Hi there, my name is Barracuda! I am a happy, high-energy boy looking to bust out of the shelter and find my happily ever after. I didn't have the best start to life- I was rescued from a dog-fighting ring down south and spent some time at another shelter before taking a road trip up to Cincinnati, where I am now at the SPCA. I don't let the past get me down, though- I'm always looking forward to the future and seeing what each new day brings. My friends at the SPCA make sure my days are filled with long walks, play time, toys, and yummy treats! I do wish that I could have a home to call my own, though. A loving family and a warm, cozy bed would be an amazing upgrade! Despite what you may assume based on what I went through in my past life, I love making friends with other dogs! Here at the shelter, I get out in playgroup with other dogs almost daily and have a blast! I'm an energetic, rowdy player who loves it when dogs match my speed, and we can play until we're both too tired to continue! I've never met cats before, though. Are they as much fun as dogs? My shelter friends say they aren't, but I'm not too sure! Can you pretty please come visit me at the shelter and take me home forever? It doesn't even HAVE to be forever, if you're worried about commitment- the shelter has an awesome foster program called a Paw Pass where you could take me on a short sleepover to get a break from here and have some fun (and if you happen to fall in love with me, it can turn into forever)! Come to SPCA Cincinnati and see for yourself if I'm the dog you've been waiting for!
