About Barbara

Meet Barbara! This sweet and sassy 11-year-old Maltese mix, fondly known as Babs, had a family all her life until she was unceremoniously abandoned. There’s no good reason for leaving such a loving companion behind, and she deserves a second chance at happiness. Babs thrives on human companionship due to her past. She prefers the presence of adults and will need someone who is either retired or works from home, as long hours alone can be tough for her. House trained when on a schedule, she can also use pee pads and is a stellar little leash walker. To give her the best home, it's best to avoid living with children or other dogs.
