About Barney
Introducing Barney, an adorable 1-year-old Dogue De Bordeaux Mix who is ready to steal your heart with his goofy charm and endearing personality. Barney is a big lovable fellow who hasn't quite come to terms with his imposing size yet, making him both a gentle giant and a playful companion.
Barney's larger-than-life presence doesn't overshadow his friendliness. He absolutely loves spending time with his handlers, engaging in fun-filled play sessions that bring out his joyful spirit. His sociable nature means he gets along well with other dogs, adding to his dynamic and spirited disposition.
Possible Descendant of Rancor from Star Wars
Given his size and strength, Barney would do best with a confident and strong handler who can manage his playful energy. His ideal family would be one that embraces his exuberance and appreciates the joys of having a big dog in their life. While he's still learning to navigate his size, Barney's cuddly demeanor, sweet nature, and big heart will make him a treasured addition to a loving home eager to guide and grow with him.

Adoption details
We run by appointment, prefferibly all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
