About Barbie

Meet Barbie, an adventurous medium-sized female Shepherd in Phoenix, OR. She has a high energy level and thrives best with active people or families who can keep up with her zest for life. Having roamed the woods for a while, she’s eager for new adventures but will need supervision outside, as her free spirit may lead her to wander. Barbie is strong and will benefit from basic leash training and guidance on home life since she’s still adjusting after her time outdoors. She loves to be cuddly once she's comfortable, and she takes treats gently, showing her sweet nature. It’s recommended that she meets any resident dogs before adoption to ensure compatibility. Barbie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find her forever family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
