My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

"Hello, everybody. My name is BARKLEY, and I'm a one-year-old terrier mix who will melt your heart. I'm a very special boy with a sensitive soul, and I love to snuggle. My owner had to give me up when there was an illness in the family, and she could no longer care for me. I've started to get more comfortable here at the shelter, so my playful side is starting to come out, but I'm still pretty mellow. I'd love to be adopted by a kind and loving person who understands that I need a little extra time to get used to new situations. I know you'll find that I'm worth it! I'd be a wonderful family pet, and I like to be around other nice dogs. I'm almost house trained, but I'll need a little extra positive training when I get to my new home. I've been trained to sleep in a crate at night and when you leave the house, but I'd love to snuggle with you in bed, if you like. Won't you please come visit me here at the El Cajon Animal Shelter? They have a lovely play yard where we can spend some time getting to know each other. Maybe I can sit in your lap and you can feel my soft fur. When you hold me close, you won't want to let me go. I hope to see you soon! Love, Barkley" Kennel #30
