Barney Boxer & Hound Mix Minneapolis, MN

Barney is a wonderful, sweet, loving guy! He enjoys being around people and gets along with everyone. He loves other dogs and if another dog is willing, he will run and play excitedly with them. If the other dog doesn't want to play he will leave them alone. He recently met a cat briefly and did well too. He loves playing out in the yard as well as cuddling up inside. He tends to adapt to the energy level where he is at and who he is with (with adults, kids and other dogs). He is a smart boy and learns fast. He is potty trained, knows how to sit and lay down. Barney is a very happy guy who loves belly rubs and his tail is constantly wagging! Barney's ideal home is with someone who is able to be home with him often as he loves the companionship! He also must go to a home that has another doggy companion. He estimated to be 1 year old and weighs about 39 pounds. Since we don't know at all what doggy genes are in the dogs make up (we don't know who mom and dad are!), we are just guessing on breed.

All dogs are spayed or neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. They have all had a vet exam, are up to date on vaccinations, have been given a dewormer, are treated for fleas, have a heartworm test if over 6 months old and are up to date on a heartworm preventative.

Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 60 mile radius of Minneapolis.If you are interested in meeting this dog please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.

We also have an Adoptable Dog Meet & Greet on Saturday December 13th, 2014, at Fetch Delivers Warehouse, 783 Harding St. NE., Minneapolis, MN 55413, from noon - 2 pm. Occasionally dogs cannot make it to the Meet & Greet, therefore feel free to verify if your dog of interest is able to attend. Please bring a copy of your pre-adoption application.
