Original:
Barney came to MAESSR because he was not doing well with the young daughter in his previous home. He is a great boy that just prefers not to live with young children.
Barney has never been to obedience class and has virtually no informal training of any kind. He only knows “sit” and “shake.” He and his forever family would benefit from the bonding, increased mutual communication, and structure that formal obedience classes would provide. Barney is well housetrained and has the run of the house when the foster parents are at work. He is completely trustworthy in the house while alone.
He does something cute and funny that his foster family calls “The Barney.” When he gets all excited, he jumps up in the air and spins around as they chant: “Go Barney, Go Barney!” He just keeps jumping and spinning! What a cutie he is!
Barney is ready to spin his way into the hearts of his forever family! He’ll make you laugh and give you lots of love.
