About Barkley
Meet Barkley, a handsome Chow Chow estimated to be around 6-8 years old. His story is truly heartbreaking. For nearly a decade, Barkley had a loving owner who was his entire world. When she entered hospice care, Barkley found himself alone in a shelter, bewildered and searching for the familiar love he once knew. Despite this upheaval, he remains an incredibly affectionate boy who desires nothing more than to be close to his human. Barkley is a fantastic companion, thriving on love and attention. Though he enjoys lounging like a seasoned couch potato, he surprises everyone with his playful spirit. In fact, he behaves much younger than his age, bounding joyfully with his toys and keeping up effortlessly. He meets both men and women with a warm demeanor and is incredibly manageable at the vet. Barkley is neutered, house trained, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated. What Barkley needs now is a forever home, a loving person who understands the commitment required for a senior dog. He has already lost so much and deserves to feel secure and cherished once again. Are you ready to give Barkley the love and stability he craves? Ready to make this gentle soul a part of your family?
