Barney's Story

*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***<br/><br/>Meet big man Barney! He is currently enrolled in our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and he is just about ready to show off his new skills! His new abilities include 'sit', 'wave', 'pray' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.<br/><br/>Barney is just a big puppy with a lot of love to give. He's a large dog, around 75-80 pounds. At times he can let his stubbornness override and let his puppy-ness show through. He really likes playing with the other dogs and may enjoy a canine buddy in his new home. <br/><br/>He seems to be house trained and does ok in his kennel when he needs to be in there. He's learned lots of new tricks and can't wait to show them off. <br/>When he first interacted with a cat, he didn't seem too fazed by them. If you have a cat and are interested, we can introduce him to one again. <br/><br/>Barney can be a bit mouthy when he wants attention from his people. He doesn't bite down, but young children may not appreciate this behavior. It's something to be aware of. <br/><br/>If you're looking for a large new buddy, Barney will be the loyal and lively companion you're looking for. He will graduate from PACK in the middle of June. Apply to meet him today!

Black Dog Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
BDAR considers pet adoption to be a privilege and that good pet owners can demonstrate a history of responsible practices. Our basic requirements are as follows: Adopters must be at least 18 years of age Adopters’ current pets must be current on their rabies vaccination per local ordinances Adopters must be able to provide a current veterinary reference if they own other pets or have recently owned pets If the adopter rents, they must be able to provide a landlord reference stating that pets are allowed on the property Adopter cannot intend for the animal to be kept as an outdoor only pet, or for the primary mode of containment to be tethering Adopters must be a good match for the animal in question as determined by our adoption counselors Our adoption fees includes spay or neuter, current age appropriate vaccinations, microchip with lifetime registration, a free first vet exam, and 30 free days of pet health insurance. A note about our adoption fees: BDAR utilizes a variable pricing structure for all of its adoptable animals. Adoption fees are determined based on an animal's perceived desirability, age, training or medical investment, and the length of time they have been available for adoption. Some animals are priced higher than others. These animals' adoption fees provide a legacy gift for others in the program who may need additional resources in order to get the same chance in a forever home.
