BARNEY's Story

Meet Barney! He is a 3 year old neutered Australian Shepherd with energy and personality plus! Barney loves to play with any toy you put in front of him, balls, squeaky toys- you name it, he loves it. Meeting new people? No problem, Barney has never met a stranger he didn't LOVE. Barney is ENTHUSIASTIC when he meets new dogs and we think he would do better as an only pet at home while he works on his manners. If you have ever seen the movie UP Barney is the squirrel dog in real life! We are also looking for experienced Aussie owners who know the breed and what they require. If you would like to meet this sweet, social guy please fill out the application and email it to animalshelter@boston.gov
