Meet Barney ADOPTION PENDING

Adopted!!

PLEASE READ ENTIRE description before emailing or sending in an application: Barney is a 2 year old tiny 4.25 lbs. dog that we rescued from Terrebonne Parish Animal Control. He came to us with bloody & loose stool, heart worm positive, and a grade 6 heart murmur. He spent many months in medical boarding at Azalea Lakes Veterinary Clinic getting his GI tract healthy, then dealing with various health issues such as neck pain. He received a lot of TLC and special care, including laser therapy on his neck, to get healthy enough to go through heart worm treatment. His cardiologist said he was so heavily infested with heart worms that he even had them inside his heart valve, which is what was causing his heart murmur. He has finally finished all of his treatments and he no longer has a heart murmur! Barney is a happy, energetic and playful dog now. He loves to be held and carried. But he is NOT house broken. He is crate trained, but he WILL lift his leg all over the house. He will need a patient and loving home to train him to use the bathroom outside. You may consider using belly bands to help with the leg lifting. He is shy at first, and takes some time to get used to changes. He is usually afraid of new people until he learns he can trust them. He will need a patient home willing to give him time to trust them and feel comfortable with them. Barney does have long flyaway hair, so he will require regular brushing to keep it from matting, as well as regular trips to visit a dog groomer. Because he had such a bad case of heartworms, which cost our rescue a small fortune to make him better, his new owners are required to keep him current on all vet care including, but not limited to, regular heartworm prevention, and regular vet visits and annual vaccinations, as proper vet care is the only way to keep him healthy.

Barney still has a large vet bill if anyone would like to donate to help pay some of his bills. We have a Paypal button on our website. www.acadianahumane.org

Because of his small size, we are requiring a home with no small children.

His adoption fee is $100.00. To be considered to adopt Barney, you must submit a completed prescreening application. You can download it from our website. Once completed, attaching it to an email is the best way to get it to us. Our fax machine is broken. Please do not email to ask us to meet Barney. If you would like an appointment to meet Barney, we do require that you submit a completed prescreening application first. Once we have processed your application (usually one business day from when we receive it) then the foster mom will make an appointment to meet you. 5/22/18 2:07 PM
