Barley

Barley is the cutest, and sweetest guy! Barley is a wonderful, 3 - 4 year old, 29 lb Corgi mix with one of the most endearing faces you’ve ever seen. You can see the wisdom in his dark eyes that quietly ask for reassurance and love. Barley is just naturally a friendly and positive pup that enjoys his relationships with both large and small dogs. This sweetheart is very social and great with all people he meets, too!<br/><br/>Barley was surrendered to the shelter in New Mexico when his owners were moving out of state and decided that they could not bring him with them. Despite the upheaval in his life, Barley remains a gentle and kind soul. He is snuggly, social, and so silly!<br/><br/>From Barley's foster:<br/>* * * *<br/>"Barley is doing so so well! He is eating well, and he's potty trained!<br/><br/>We put him in a crate at night on his first night home, and he whined a little when put in his crate, but we moved the crate to our bedroom and then he was able to settle. Since the first night, we have let him sleep out of the crate (he gained that trust easily!) on a dog bed in the living room, and he does great! <br/>We also leave him loose in the family room when we leave the house, and he does totally fine! He isn't much of a barker, but does bark with excitement when we get home. It's cute!<br/><br/>He loves walks and is friendly with other dogs and people that he meets. We brought him to the farmers market and he was so sweet with everyone and every dog there!<br/><br/>He comes when I make a kissy sound so I'm using that to teach him "come". We are working on teaching him "sit" and "down" as well.<br/><br/>Barley LOVES to snuggle. If I stop snuggling him, he nuzzles in and asks for more. He's so so so affectionate and social.<br/><br/>He had an upset tummy when he first came home, so he's been on a bland diet and his belly is feeling much better! His neuter site is healing well, and he only has needed to wear his cone a few times."<br/>* * * *<br/><br/>Barley would do great in a home with retirees, adults or older kids where he will get lots of love and attention. He’d thrive with someone who works from home or is retired, as he loves to snuggle and would hate to be left home alone for long hours while his family worked full time outside of the home.<br/><br/>Since Barley is a young dog, he's a blank slate just waiting for a kind and patient human to show him the way. He has all the potential in the world to be an awesome adult companion. Barley will form firm bonds with his family and learn positive socialization skills through virtual or in-person positive reinforcement / force-free obedience classes. These classes will make a profound difference in a dog's's ultimate behavior and in his relationship and bonding with his people. It does take time and commitment...yet pays off a thousand times over when you have a dog that can accompany you out in the world with excellent behavior.<br/><br/>Farfel's Rescue feel very strongly that every dog deserves the opportunity for formal, positive reinforcement / force-free training classes. We therefore aren't willing to adopt Barley out to a home that doesn't choose to offer him this training opportunity. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of approved positive reinforcement trainers in your area.<br/><br/>Barley will be up to date on his vetting and vaccinations to support Farfel's commitment to adopting out only healthy dogs. He has also been neutered to support our vision of a euthanasia - free future in the canine population.<br/><br/>Barley is available for adoption now! Applications are currently being accepted and can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If you're interested in this extremely sweet, cuddly and loving best friend, please fill out our application form completely and submit.<br/><br/>**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Barley, please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in many cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our Farfel's Rescue adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
