About Bart

Bart is a shy but sweet adult Papillon who recently found himself in need of a new home after his previous owner passed away. Due to a lack of socialization when he was younger, Bart is cautious around new experiences. However, he thrives in the company of other dogs and has been confirmed to be cat safe. Given his shy nature and inexperience with leashes, he would do best in a home with a secure, fenced-in yard. With time and patience, Bart is sure to blossom into a loving and loyal companion. His gentle demeanor makes him a wonderful candidate for a calm household. Are you ready to help him come out of his shell? Click apply to start the adoption process.
