Barney Labrador Retriever & Shar-Pei Mix Baltimore, MD

Barney is a 3-months old yellow Labrador Retriever, possibly Shar Pei or Husky mix. He currently weighs 18 lbs. Once fully grown is should be a nice medium size dog weighing around 55 to 60 lbs.
Barney is a parvo survivor. He and his brother Fred were tossed out at dumpsters near busy highways and railroads in Houston, TX.

Both puppies were pretty much feral and fearful of humans.

A local trapper spotted them and was able to capture both little boys when they were only 7/8 weeks old. Both puppies were pretty thin and quickly it was discovered that they suffered from the parvovirus. Initially the vet sent them home with medicines and treatments for in-home care and with multiple visits to the vet Barney survived the horrible virus that kills a lot of puppies.

Barney is now healthy enough to start his life with his own new family.

Barney has been dewormed, has his first parvo/distemper vaccines, and is micro-chipped.

Barney is a total love bug and loves to cuddle with his humans once he trusts them.
He loves to play with his toys, chew on bully sticks, antler and hooves. Barney is protective of high value treats. He will need a little bit of training to learn that no one will take them away and there are will always be plenty of everything. Because of that we are placing him in a home with only older children.
He also likes to play with his brother Fred and the other dogs at his foster home.
Barney is pee pad trained but now since he is out of isolation will go potty outside. He is crate-trained and is able to hold it most of the night.

Barney is a quick learner. He got the come here and sit command quickly. Whenever he wants something he will sit patiently in front of you hoping you will notice what a good boy he is.
We are placing Barney in a home in the suburbs and only with older kids. The commotion in the city would stress him out too much.
