About Barney

Barney, formerly known as Jabbar, is ready to find his forever home. At 5 years and 8 months old, this 80-pound hound and Rottweiler mix is a loyal and intelligent companion.

Although he has not been crate trained, Barney won’t touch food left out on counters and can be left alone without issue.
