About Barbie

Meet Barbie, a shy sweetheart in search of a loving family to help her come out of her shell. This gentle girl takes her time warming up to new people, slowly building relationships to reveal her affectionate nature. Recently, she has shown progress by crawling into the laps of her caregivers and accepting treats from those she trusts. Barbie has lived with another dog before, which may help her continue to build confidence with a canine companion in her new home. She would thrive best in a low-traffic household with access to an enclosed outdoor area to work on her leash skills. If you're ready to meet this quiet and lovely pup, reach out to our team today!
