Barkley

Barkley is a 2 year old Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix boy that weighs 63 pounds. He was surrendered by our friends at Ashland Terrace Animal Hospital who took over his care when the senior owners could no longer care for him. He was very young and had much more energy than they could handle. <br/><br/>My name is Barkley! I have been at PPC since March 2025 when my senior owners could no longer take care of me. I LOVE going on walks, cuddling up with you on the couch, and hanging out with other dogs. Going on walks to anywhere is my "happy place" as it helps me calm my energy. <br/><br/>Barkley is one of our more overlooked dogs, so he deserves the spotlight. Barkley is an excellent walker who is fully house trained and crate trained. He tends to be timid when meeting new people, which can make first impressions tough, but don’t let that fool you. He is a very loyal and loving dog. <br/><br/>Barkley got the opportunity to stay at a foster home for a few days and a lot of the anxiety that he experienced at the shelter almost immediately disappeared… no leash biting, no excessive jumping, and he quickly grew very comfortable with the man in the house. Barkley struggles in the shelter environment, so we are eager for a forever home that he can thrive in. <br/><br/>We believe the perfect home for Barkley would be with another dog friend and without small children. He can be particular about who he lets in his dog friend group as he prefers to be the man in charge. He was besties with a girl dog Phoebe who has recently been adopted and we feel he would do well with another female or easy-going male dog. As part Cattle Dog, he needs regular activity to keep him happy, so is looking for a family that will take him on walking adventures. <br/><br/>Barkley is an excellent dog who just needs the chance to shine. If you are interested in meeting Barkley or any other PPC pet, please contact us via website or call 423-877-0738.<br/><br/><br/>We're open Wednesday - Sunday 12 - 5 p.m but are doing meet & greets and adoptions by appointment only. <br/><br/>The adoption fee is $135 which includes a free veterinary exam within 2 weeks of adoption at local participating vets, up to date vaccinations, heartworm test, heartworm preventative, dewormer, flea preventative, microchip, & spay or neuter.<br/><br/>If you are interested in this pet, please fill out our ADOPTION APPLICATION at https://bit.ly/3HN4Tqq<br/><br/>Visit our website at www.PetPlacementCenter.com
