Barry's Story
Meet Barry a 9-year-old senior gentleman, with the sweetest temperament and the soulful brown puppy eyes. He is a gentle, affectionate boy who loves people and will follow you from room to room, curious about what you’re up to, and will sit beside you with his head resting on your lap. He is not too clingy but does love closeness, pets (especially butt scratches), and simply being near his human. He has a calm, kind presence and is loyal and easygoing. Barry forms attachment and trust quickly. <br/><br/>Barry is happiest when he’s spending time with his person - he doesn’t need much beyond companionship, affection, regular outdoor time, and a cozy place to rest. He’s not very interested in toys, but he does love his Kong when it’s stuffed with his favourite wet food. At home, he usually relaxes in his bed and quietly watches his current foster go about her day. <br/><br/>He has a good balance in terms of energy: not a couch potato, but also not high-energy. He loves having 2–3 walks a day (35–50 minutes each) and may have bursts of energy in the begging of the walk, but as an older dog he gets tired when a walk is too long. He gets excited when he sees me getting ready to go out and would bark a little to encourage me to hurry up. <br/><br/>Barry is fascinated by cars for an unknown reason. He loves watching them go by and will happily try to hop in if a door is open. He is house-trained and very well-behaved at home. He prefers to sleep in his own bed but may join you on the couch once he feels comfortable. <br/><br/>Barry is really indifferent to other dogs; he prefers being next to people. He doesn’t play much with other dogs but will calmly approach and sniff them, and, at a dog park he prefers to greet the humans! <br/><br/>Barry does best with a consistent routine. As an older dog, he’s had a couple of accidents when left too long without a bathroom break, so regular walks are important. Barry is not great on the leash, and he does pull, so will need someone with patience and understanding and lots of treats to help - he is a big boy. <br/><br/>Barry is neutered and we have all his recent blood work and vaccine records.
