Hi There, My name is Barkly. I am a neutered male, Shih Tzu/Bichon mix in need of a home and family that will love me forever. My first owners surrendered me to the shelter when they moved and couldn't take me with, and now my second owner became homeless and could no longer care for me. I am 5 years old with a big toothy grin that is sure to put a smile on your face. I mostly like to show off my smile when I first meet someone new, and I wave my front feet when I get excited - how cute is that? I am a very friendly, energetic little dog and I love everyone. I even do well with gentle children and would make a great family dog. I have been in foster care since 1/19/13, and I have been doing great with the five cats and a large Labrador mix dog that also live here with me. I have to admit that I have been known to mark just a little in my foster home, but that may very well be due to all of the other animals here. I am a very...

I have been in foster care since 1/19/13, and I have been doing great with the five cats and a large Labrador mix dog that also live here with me. I have to admit that I have been known to mark just a little in my foster home, but that may very well be due to all of the other animals here. I am a very happy boy that loves company, car rides, and going for walks with my special humans. I am polite on leash and I love to explore. I am very comfortable with being held and I love to cuddle, so if you have an empty lap, well, I am looking for one! I am housebroken, crate-trained, and I know sit, down, and stay. I am also good with most loud noises. I have tons of playful energy, but I also know to be calm when I need to be. My favorite toy is a squeaky rubber chicken. To meet me is to love me, so I hope to be seeing you very soon! Note: I am currently in a foster home, but setting up an appointment time to meet me is easy - just call the shelter at (715) 839-4747 ext. 21.
