Don't let my name fool you!  I'm not silly and nervous.
I'm 6 pounds of bouncy fun!

Barney was born June 9, 2009

Barney and his siblings are just as cute and tiny as can be, but potential adopters need to understand that adopting a puppy is not a commitment to be taken lightly.  They require diligent oversight and constant vigilance.  Barney will need someone who will be committed to his care for his entire lifetime - which is typically 14-15 years.

Due to the noise and activity level of a dog this young, we discourage placement in apartments or condos.   We also prefer to place puppies in homes with securely fenced yards, and no children under the age of 5, unless you have previous dog experience.  Placements must be relatively local, as our volunteers cannot be expected to drive to distant locales for a home visit.  Approved adopters can meet the pups prior to release, but must sign a contract and put up one half of the adoption donation, which is non-refundable.

Adoptive Status:  Will be neutered and UTD on shots on August 5.   Barring any complications, he will be ready for his new home on August 8.

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Barney would like a home where his humans will treat him with patience and kindness as he learns the ways of his new family.

Owner Aptitude Level:  Previous dog experience preferred.
