Berry

Important, please read thoroughly:<br/><br/>Barry is a small dog who has been in our care for several months, quietly working to build confidence in a world that once felt overwhelming to him. When Barry first arrived, he was extremely fearful and uncomfortable with handling. Through slow, patient, and consistent work by our caregiving team — especially Julie, our animal behavior coordinator — Barry has made meaningful progress, but he will need a calm and understanding home.<br/><br/>Barry now allows handling, seeks reassurance from trusted people, and continues to gain confidence at his own pace. He is a sensitive, observant dog who communicates discomfort through subtle stress signals rather than overt reactions. Because of this, Barry requires adopters who are experienced, patient, and attentive to canine body language.<br/><br/>This is not a fast or easy adoption. Barry is not suitable for loud, active, or busy households, and he is not appropriate for homes with running, high-energy children. If children are present, they must be older, calm, quiet, and respectful, and able to understand Barry’s need for space and predictability. Barry will do best in a quiet home with minimal comings and goings and a consistent routine.<br/><br/>It was a long road for him but now, once warmed up and trusting Barry loves affection, gets goofy spells with zooming and he just found out that toys and treats can be fun. He has shown polite interest in other dogs but may choose to walk away if interaction becomes too stimulating.<br/><br/>Barry has worked incredibly hard to get where he is today. His success depends on finding a home that will continue the patient, thoughtful approach that has helped him grow.
