About Barkley

Meet Barkley. Barkley is a handsome male Chow Chow, who is approximately 8 years young. His journey has been tough; after spending most of his life with one person, he suddenly found himself alone when she entered hospice care. This sweet boy misses the familiar voice and comforting presence that once surrounded him. Despite this heartache, Barkley has kept his loving spirit. He’s a wonderful companion, often content to lounge on the couch, but don’t be fooled by his age—he still has a playful side! Barkley enjoys running around and is full of energy when it comes to his toys. He walks well on a leash, although he may pull if something piques his interest. His friendly demeanor includes a warm welcome for everyone, including both men and women, and he handles vet visits like a champ. Though he has a voice and isn’t afraid to use it, once Barkley is comfortable, he settles in nicely. He’s neutered, house trained, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccinations. What Barkley needs now is a forever home with someone who understands the commitment of bringing a dog into their family. After losing his first home and everything familiar, Barkley deserves a second chance to feel safe and cherished. Are you the forever person Barkley has been waiting for?
