Description
Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Poodle (unknown type) / Mixed. Meet Barkley! Hi! I’m Barkley, a beautiful Snow White Shih Tzu–Poodle mix who’s just two years old and ready to find my forever home. I’ve been with my foster mom for about six weeks and, after a little time to settle in, I’ve become her loyal little shadow. I get along with other dogs and enjoy playing with one my size, though I’d do just as well as an only dog. If I do live with another pup, they’d need to be calm, as I can be a bit pushy at times. I’m fully house trained, great on leash, and love exploring a fenced yard. Because I can be vocal when I hear outside noises, I wouldn’t be the best fit for apartment or condo living. I enjoy toys, gentle tug-of-war, and sometimes even chasing my tail when I’m feeling playful. I’m healthy overall, with only a very mild heart murmur that doesn’t affect my daily life. One of my eyes looks a little “wonky,” but it’s healthy and I see just fine. I sleep quietly in my crate at night and when my foster mom is out—though I do get excited and bark when she comes home! I haven’t met young children yet, but I warm up nicely to new people. I’d be perfectly happy as a spoiled little prince, bringing lots of love, cuddles, and joy to my forever family.
