Barkley's Story

10 years old, 83 lbs<br/><br/>Personality: smart, playful, affectionate, goofy/funny, and energetic.<br/><br/>Meet Barkley! Despite his name, this gentle old soul rarely barks. He's an affectionate, energetic, curious boy who loves nothing more than a chew toy or a treat-and spending time with you! His wiggle and hop when you have a treat to give him will be the cutest thing you experience all day, every day. <br/><br/>Barkley is a senior boy with the playful energy of a much younger pup. He's a champ at catching treats tossed into the air! He is thrilled by every dog he comes across at the dog park, and is very polite in all interactions with them. <br/><br/>Barkley knows words like "sit", "down", "off", "paw, "c'mon-up," and he is eager to learn more at your side. He is house trained and very comfortable in the crate, where he can settle for up to 6 hours or so. He's also getting much better at pulling less on his leash, and is now sporting a fashionable new harness that helps him feel more comfortable while out and about.<br/><br/>Barkley is ready to join you on your adventures and shower you with plenty of goofy, tenderhearted love. Apply today to meet Barkley!<br/><br/>Barkley's rescue was made possible through a special senior dog sponsorship by Madison Mellish Peralta in honor of her own senior City Dog rescue.<br/><br/><br/><br/>________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/>City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is a foster-based rescue in Washington, DC.

City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue's Adoption Policy
All of our dogs and cats are in private foster homes. If you are interested in meeting one, please complete our application. Profiles provide all current information we know about the dogs and cats in our care. OUR ADOPTION PROCESS APPLICATION: Interested adopters should fill out an application for the cat(s) or dog(s) you are interested in. Only one application is required, and it applies for all cats or dogs listed on your application. If you are interested in adopting both a cat and a dog, you must complete an application for each type of animal. Important Note Regarding Timing: We screen all applications to find what we believe will be the best environment for each particular cat or dog. If we believe that we currently have a potential match for you, our typical response time is within a week. Please keep an eye on your spam folder! APPLICATIONS COUNSELOR: Applicants who pass the initial screening will be assigned a volunteer applications counselor to work with you throughout the process. REFERENCE CHECKS: If applicable, CDCK will call the applicant’s veterinarian to ensure that previous pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and well cared for. CDCK will also call personal references listed on the application. RENTERS/CONDO OWNERS: For renters, CDCK will check with an applicant's landlord to ensure that cats and/or dogs are permitted and that the cat or dog of interest wouldn’t violate any size or breed restrictions. We also review condo association rules regarding pets. ADOPTION CONTRACT: If the applicant is approved for adoption and decides to adopt the cat or dog, CDCK and the prospective adopter will enter into an adoption contract. The applicant will be required to pay an adoption fee, which helps cover our costs from spay/neutering (if age appropriate), microchipping, vaccinations, and any other veterinary attention needed while in our care.
