Barney

Take Barney outside and his nose is on the ground before his feet are, and he will work his way across every patch of grass and pavement you give him like each one has news in it.<br/><br/>Barney is a three year old male hound mix, around 35 pounds, and our best guess is beagle and Plott hound. He has a brindle face with a white blaze down the middle, long soft ears, a dark saddle across his back, a white chest, and four white socks. He is slim and a little long legged for his size, built like a dog who was made to follow his nose. He came to Petersburg Animal Care and Control as a stray.<br/><br/>When the sniffing is done, he sits, looks up at whoever is holding the leash, and waits to see what you have in mind. He leans into a hand that scratches his neck and is happy to stay there. He is a sweet, easy dog to be around, and he is very treat motivated, which gives you a simple way into teaching him anything you want him to learn.<br/><br/>Barney gets along with other dogs, and so far he has seemed fine around cats too, so a home with a friendly resident dog or a cat is a real option for him. A family who likes long walks and does not mind stopping every few feet will make his whole day.<br/><br/>A few honest things before you apply. We have not seen Barney around children, so we cannot tell you how he would do living with them. We are glad to set up an introduction with any dog already in your home.<br/><br/>We prefer to schedule appointments for meet and greets to make sure someone is available to spend time with you. The shelter is open Monday through Friday, 12pm to 4pm, and appointments outside of those hours may be available based on volunteer availability.
