About Barney

Meet Barney, a delightful companion who's not just a dog but an adventure buddy. At around 4-5 years old, he shows a balance of playfulness and calmness. A big guy, he loves to stroll and is excellent on the leash, even around other dogs. He enjoys cuddling and will happily take all the belly rubs offered. Barney gets along with older kids and has played nicely with other dogs, showing a gentle side when meeting them. He did well with a deaf Pittie, reciprocating her playful energy while keeping it friendly. Cats are no problem for Barney; he met a test kitty and, though initially curious, was easy to redirect and could sit calmly while the kitty was petted. When it comes to his health, he’s in good shape overall, though he could use a nail trim and some additional attention to his elbows and front paws. Barney is looking for a loving home that values companionship and is ready to embrace his cuddly spirit. What's stopping you from inviting this beefy boy into your life?
