Animal Info

Barnaby was found as a stray in the City of Broadway and brought to our care by the animal control officers.

He is naughty! Not just in a cute, small dog misbehaving way but rather he has significant behavioral needs that requires him to be placed in a home with experienced owners who can continue to work with him and help him get settled in.

He’s been in a foster home the last couple of months and here’s what we know about him so far, please read carefully as we’ll be extra selective in where he’s placed.

He can live in a home with another dog only if the other dog is very tolerant of Barnaby’s behavior. He is obnoxious towards the dog he currently lives with. He guards his toys, his crate and (of course) food from the other dog.

We are not comfortable placing him in a home where he’ll be around children or cats. Nor in a busy household with lots of people going in and out.

He is incredibly smart and very food motivated. A quick learner.

He needs a very experienced owner(s) who have the financial means and the time to work with an in home trainer to help Barnaby adjust to his new home.

Yes he’s cute and has a sweet personality but he does have significant behavioral concerns. He’s not for everyone and we’ll need to be very selective with where he is placed.
