BARCLAY's Story
BARCLAY AND HIS BEST FRIENDS WILL ATTEND A MEET AND GREET ADOPTION EVENT AT PET EVOLUTION AT 1074 GRAND ON SUNDAY JANUARY 18 12:30 -2:30. WE COULD ALL USE A PUPPY CUDDLE RIGHT NOW. YOU MIGHT EVEN WANT TO HAVE A PERMANENT PUP TO CUDDLE. COME FOR A CUDDLE AND MAYBE GO HOME WITH A FRIEND FOR LIFE.<br/><br/>Barclay is a good looking black pup with a sweet and calm disposition. He has a shorter coat than his siblings. Barclay was part of a litter of 4 born to a 40# sturdily built mommy (pictured with woman). He really doesn’t look like mommy or his brothers. Daddy didn’t stick around and we know nothing of his breed or size. Now here is a conundrum. The vet thought Barclay looked a bit younger than the other 2 pups that are allegedly from the same litter. Since that is not possible, either the vet is wrong or someone slipped an extra puppy into the litter. We are going with the vet is wrong, although, Barclay certainly looks different from the other two pups. A mystery. <br/><br/>Because the family had multiple other dogs that they were struggling to care for, Barclay and 2 siblings were surrendered to PUP and mommy was surrendered to another rescue to be homed. What happened to puppy number 4, you ask? They gave him to the UPS driver.<br/><br/>The vet aged Barclay at 12 weeks on January 12. We are guessing at breed here. He is surely part Lab and German Shepherd, but what else is a mystery. Dogs from the area who have DNA testing often have 20 or more breeds and they nearly always have some shepherd, husky, Miniature American Shepherd, cattle dog, Aussie, and even the largest pooches have a bit of Chihuahua. We estimate that Barclay will be in the upper end of mid-sized dog when full grown. But, his people should be prepared to love him if he is larger or smaller than predicted.<br/><br/>Barclay came from a family with children, other dogs and cats. In his foster home he is a calm boy who quickly learned about stairs and the joys of indoor living. He can be the leader of his little pac but he is not dominant. He was the last of the three siblings to figure out how to go up and down steps, but he loves his outdoor play time and is more than happy to come back inside to a comfy bed. He had been living mostly outside in his previous home. We are starting work on house breaking but it is a work in progress. He has done a tiny bit of walking on a leash.<br/><br/>The early months are when puppy learns the social skills needed to be a skilled dog in dealing with other dogs and a good citizen in the human world. Adopters should be committed to getting puppy into lots of new and different human social situations, hearing vacuums, trucks, and rattling garbage cans, meeting people who are clapping, laughing, with hats, tools, bikes and skate boards. AND puppy needs many opportunities to meet and greet dogs of all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Just sharing a home with another dog is not as much doggie socializing as puppy needs. If good canine social skills are not learned and maintained during these early months, it will be very difficult to ever master them. Puppy play dates, trips to the pet store, puppy socialization classes and later, obedience classes are particularly important. If all this doggie time and involvement seems like a good idea, you are up for a puppy! As always, a tired dog is a good dog. <br/><br/>Puppy has been vet checked, is vaccinated including rabies, and de-wormed. He will need two additional puppy vaccinations at the adopter’s expense. We do place puppies outside the metro area if a firm plan for the alter surgery is in place; we do not ship. His required alter surgery is covered by the adoption fee if it is done at 6 months at the PUP clinic. We require that he be altered at 6 months.<br/><br/>If you are at least 21 years old and everyone in your household is on board with adopting a puppy, CALL 651-645-4370 between 7:00 am and 9:30 pm and we will return your call within 24 hours. We are pretty slow at responding to e-mail. Renters must provide proof that you are allowed to have a puppy. If you currently have a companion dog or cat please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption if requested.
