Meet An Adoptable Dog

Date into Rescue:1/25/25

Reason for being in rescue: Barry was found as a stray in North Carolina and landed at a shelter.

Special Needs: Barry is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Barry was found as a stray, so we have no history on him. Our best guess is that he is a doodle of some sort. Only a DNA test will confirm. Given this, we cannot guarantee that he is hypoallergenic or that he will not shed.

What kind of home would be best for me: Barry is a fun-loving, people-focused pup who’s ready to bring big energy and even bigger love into your life! Found as a stray, we don’t know much about his past—but what we do know is that this charming guy is full of personality and affection. Our best guess is that he’s a doodle mix, but only a DNA test can tell for sure. Because of that, we can’t guarantee that he’s hypoallergenic or non-shedding.

Barry is estimated to be around 2 years old, with a birthday we’re celebrating on January 5th, 2023. He’s still got that playful, puppy-like zest for life and would thrive in an active home that can keep up with his energy. Long walks, play sessions, puzzle toys, and fun training games: Yes, please! Barry will need a fenced-in yard that’s at least 4 feet high—he’s an adventurer at heart and needs space to stretch those legs.

Barry absolutely lives for human attention and wants to be where the action is. He gets along great with other dogs, especially ones who love to play as much as he does. He’d make a great buddy for kids aged 8 and up who can match his enthusiasm and help him channel his energy in fun ways.

What is my personality like: Meet Barry, a lively, playful pup who also enjoys some quiet moments. He’s the type of dog who adapts to the energy around him – some days, he’s ready to play and explore; other days, he’ll enjoy a calm, cozy time with you. Barry is looking for his forever home after being found as a stray, and he’s ready to shower you with love and fun!

Barry came to us as a stray, so we have no information on his life before the came to the farm. We know he is young and active and eager to learn. While he may need some training (especially with walking on a leash and learning basic commands), he’s a quick learner who responds well to treats and praise—especially treats!

Barry is a happy, playful young dog who knows how to enjoy a good balance of playtime and relaxation. He’s always up for an adventure, but he also knows when to chill and enjoy some downtime. If you’re ready for a joyful, fun-loving companion to brighten your life, look no further than Barry. This guy is a bundle of energy and fun!

How do I act when I first meet new people: Barry is a friendly, good-natured dog who's always ready to make new friends! He may greet you with wild excitement, eager to play, or he might be more laid-back and relaxed. 

Tips and Tidbits: Barry was found as a stray so we have absolutely no history on him. Based on his overall health and condition he's estimated around 2 years old. We celebrate his birthday 1/25/2023.

House trained: Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.

Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.

Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. When screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
