About Barney

Meet Barney! If you're looking for a delightful, tail-wagging big guy, Barney might just be your match. This 2-year-old Old English Sheepdog mix wakes up each day eager to spread joy and find someone to love. His tail is almost always wagging, and he thrives on attention—nothing makes him happier than a good scratch behind the ears. Barney is a true social butterfly and loves making friends with every dog he meets. He does wonderfully with kids and enjoys all the love they have to offer. He's crate trained and seems to be house trained too, although he’s still picking up on some basic commands. He walks well on a leash, though bunnies and other dogs do capture his curiosity, making walks an adventure. Like any character, he has his quirks; he's not fond of hats or loud noises, but underneath it all, he’s just a goofy boy looking for a family. Barney is ready to exchange shelter life for a comfy home filled with love, toys, and plenty of playtime. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion with a permanently wagging tail, Barney can't wait to meet you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
