About Barney

Barney is a young, tan and brown brindle hound mix who was originally rescued as a puppy from the outdoors in West Virginia. He's a gentle and somewhat timid boy, requiring some time to adjust, but blooms into a sweet companion once he feels secure. Barney thrives in a calm home where he can take things slowly, gaining confidence alongside patient and understanding people. This big-hearted dog is not suited for homes with cats, so it’s best to keep him in a feline-free environment. Barney is eager to find a loving family that can provide the support he needs.
