Barkley is a handsome, fun-loving guy who was lucky enough to spend a short time in a foster home. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, rides beautifully in the car, and walks nicely on leash without much pulling. He loves being near his person, soaking up pets, and occasionally pretending he’s a lap dog. Barkley enjoys toys, can entertain himself, and has medium-high energy but knows how to settle down when the fun is over. In play group he's a lot like a young pup and benefits from the example of mature and stable dogs rather than the party animals. Barkley is a thoughtful guy who prefers to make the first move, but once he decides you’re part of his circle, he’s happy to stick close and be your sidekick. His foster home said he's a fun guy to be around and that Barkley is ready to make himself at home with his forever family.
