This handsome timid guy is Barney. He was picked up stray by an Animal Control Officer and brought to the shelter in hopes of finding his family. Sadly, no one has called or come in looking for him. So here he sits hoping for a better chance the second time around. Barney is a gentle soul who arrived at the shelter and was overwhelmed by what life had handed him. He is a shy and nervous who takes his time getting to know you. He has slowly and politely started asking for attention. He will nudge your arm or your hand with his nose for pets. He loves treats and will sit for them. Barney is looking for a family to love, a door to look out of and get his daily dose of sunshine and a bed to curl up in. He takes his time with everything, he likes to smell your leash before it goes on him, he is curious and can be fearful of loud noises, he is strong on leash and will need guidance with training. He is seems crate trained and with a regular schedule would be housebroken as well. Barney has done well at the shelter with dogs, he seems to relax more and finds comfort in a friend. He is submissive allows them to take the lead. He is vocal with cats so he would need a dog savvy cat. Barney would love nothing more than to have a home. Do to his shy and nervous personality he will do best in an adult only home. He is 67.6 pounds, estimated to be five to seven years young, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, micro-chipped and heartworm negative.
