Meet Barry 🐾

Barry is a sweet, smart, and eager-to-please boy who truly shines in a home environment. He’s completely house trained, crate trained, and non-destructive. When left alone for 4–6 hours, he settles in nicely and does well.

In the home, Barry is a total Velcro companion - he loves to follow his person from room to room just to see what you’re up to. He listens beautifully, takes correction well, and only gets on furniture when invited. He already knows sit and paw, and his gentle, responsive nature makes him a joy to live with.

Barry interacts well with other dogs and has a sweet, respectful play style. He takes feedback appropriately from other dogs and doesn’t compete over toys. He also warmed up to new people with a little time and showed his soft, friendly personality once comfortable.

Overall, Barry is an affectionate, intelligent companion who wants to be close to his person and is truly eager to please. He’s a lovely boy ready to bring warmth and loyalty to his future home. 💛

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
