Barnum

BARNUM is a lovable ~2 year old who was rescued from Texas. He was born in a small town in the Lone Star State where he spent the first few years of his life wandering the streets and surviving on scraps. Despite his struggles, Barnum remained a happy-go-lucky pup with a tail that never stops wagging. Barnum is kennel/ housetrained trained and walks wonderful on a leash. One of Barnum's favorite activities is going on walks. He loves nothing more than putting on his leash and heading out for a stroll around the neighborhood. Whether it's a short walk around the block or a long hike through the woods, Barnum is always up for an adventure. His favorite toys are the ones that squeak, and he also like to play fetch. Barnum is the perfect size at just over 50 lbs and would make the best cuddle buddy. If you're looking for a loyal and fun-loving companion to join your family, Barnum may be just the dog for you. With his charming personality and love for adventure, he's sure to bring joy and excitement into your life every day. <br/><br/>He IS a flight risk, though, and so no invisible fences for Barnum, and we'd greatly prefer a securely fenced in yard for him so there's less risk of him slipping away at the door.<br/><br/>This dog is part of a partner rescue in NY, and is available to a larger distance from us than normal - within a few hour distance from Rochester, NY, OR between Rochester and NYC area and closer to the NY tri-state area.<br/><br/>Adoption fee INCLUDES: all vetting to age (including deworming, flea & tick etc), spay/neuter and microchip (if the dog is under 6 months, alter and chip will occur after they're 6 months, covered in full at our clinic or reimbursed partially at a vet of your choosing). If the dog is older than 6 months and not yet altered, we will schedule ASAP (normally within 30 days) at our clinic . We also provide as an incentive a $60 rebate for completion of positive-based training classes. Adoption also includes lifetime support of the rescue.<br/><br/>Please fill out an APPLICATION here for consideration: www.tinyurl.com/appshdr (copy and paste link into browser window if link is not active in your browser).<br/><br/>We do most application processing virtually and dog meets will be individually by appointment with ONLY APPROVED APPLICANTS. We are not a shelter and are completely volunteer foster-based, so there is no central place to come see all of the dogs available.<br/><br/>IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Housetraining with rescues is sometimes a work in progress and even if a dog is 100% in a foster's home, it should be expected there will be an adjustment period as a dog adapts to a new environment. This is even more true if the dog has not by chance had their altering appointment at time of adoption. ** Also, we highly recommend some form of 2-week shutdown and decompression for dogs going to a new home for best results. --> Lastly, breed guesses in rescue are just that (GUESSES!!) 99.9% of the time. We do not do DNA testing and our breed guesses are based on appearance and sometimes other traits, but we know the dog breed guessing game is a fool's errand even for those with LOTS of experience.<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: If a dog is listed as Adoptable, he or she is still available at that time. Also, our adoption area is within a several hour radius of us in Rochester, NY (Canada within 3 hours IS allowed, except that young puppies need to be old enough to have gotten their rabies vaccination to cross the border - usually around 16 weeks)
