Here's what the humans have to say about me:
BARLO****CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabrescue.com BARLO IS A BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, 2 YR. OLD, 75 LB. PUREBRED YELLOW LABRADOR RETRIEVER. THE MINUTE YOU SEE BARLO YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTICE WHAT A GORGEOUS FELLOW HE IS. HIS COAT IS FLAWLESS, A WARM SUN-LIT GOLDEN COLOR WHICH LOOKS LIKE BARLO WAS DIPPED IN A BIG BOWL OF VANILLA ICE CREAM. HIS CLASSIC "BLOCK" LABRADOR HEAD IS ACCENTED WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR, DARK, CHESTNUT COLORED EYES. THEY CONVEY A LOOK OF PLAYFULNESS, GOOD HUMOR AND TRUST. BARLO IS ONE OF THE MOST GENTLE AND WELL MANNERED PUPS WE HAVE SEEN, HAVING TRAITS WHICH HAVE MADE THE LABRADOR THE NUMBER ONE FAMILY COMPANION. BARLO IS RESPECTFUL OF EVERYONE HE MEETS, WELL BEHAVED AND JUST A JOY TO BE AROUND. WE NICKNAMED BARLO OUR "LIFE IS GOOD" PUP, HE REALLY SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN NAMED HAPPY BECAUSE BOY IS HE. HE HAS THE LABRADOR GLOWING PERSONALITY AND TEMPERAMENT, BARLO HAS DECLARED EVERYDAY A HOLIDAY, WELL AT LEAST IT IS TO HIM. ONCE YOU CALL HIS NAME NOW THE FUN BEGINS, BARLO WILL STAND AT ATTENTION, TURN THAT ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE, THOSE GORGEOUS EYES TWINKLING WITH EXCITEMENT, TAIL WAGGING IN CIRCLES AND HE'S OFF HEADING YOUR WAY AS FAST AS HE CAN GO. GIVE THIS HAPPY PUP A RUB, A TREAT AND NOW BARLO HAS OFFICIATELY ADOPTED YOU AS HIS NEW BEST FRIEND. THIS PEOPLE LOVING GUY ADORES EVERYONE HE MEETS HE NEVER MEETS A STRANGER(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS) HE IS A TRUE "AMBASSADOR OF GOODWILL" BARLO KNOWS THERE ARE SO MANY FUN THINGS TO DO, NEAT PLACES TO GO AND HE IS READY TO TAKE PART IN LIFE'S NEXT ADVENTURE. HE WOULD BEAT YOU TO THE DOOR IN THE MORNING FOR AN EARLY MORNING WALK OR JOG, BARLO WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY. HOW ABOUT A TRIP AROUND TOWN TO RUN ERRANDS, BARLO WILL BEAT YOU TO YOUR SEAT, TURN AND GIVE YOU HIS "COME ON LET'S GO" LOOK. HE DOESN'T ALWAYS KNOW WHERE HE'S GOING AND REALLY DOESN'T CARE, HE IS WITH THE PERSON HE LOVES MOST IN THE WORLD--YOU!!! AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS TO OUR COMPANION PUP. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO THE COUNTRY BARLO WOULD DELIGHT IN SPENDING HIS DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS, RETRIEVING HIS FAVORITE STICK OR BALL, DIVING IN THE BIGGEST FLUFFY SNOW BANK HE COULD FIND, JUST ENJOYING THE DAY. THIS GENTLE HAPPY FELLOW KNOWS HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME!!! WE FEEL THAT BARLO WOULD BE THE PERFECT COMPANION FOR A GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN WHO WOULD WANT TO SPEND THE DAY PLAYING WITH THEIR NEW BEST FRIEND. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO OUR "LIFE IS GOOD" PUP'S PACKAGE AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO FIGURE THIS OUT--THIS IS ONE SMART GUY. HE IS A PUP THAT LISTENS WELL, LEARNS EXTREMELY FAST AND IS EAGER TO PLEASE AND THESE TRAITS MAKE TRAINING A BREEZE. HE KNOWS BASIC COMMANDS, IS TREAT MOTIVATED WHICH MAKES HIM A JOY TO TRAIN. HE DELIGHTS IN NEW THINGS TO LEARN AND CONSIDERS SOMETHING NEW A CHALLENGE, THIS PUP LOVES TO LEARN. THE POTENTIAL FOR BARLO IS HUGE. HE IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" AND WOULD LOVE A FAMILY THAT IS WILLING TO TEACH, TRAIN, LOVE AND WATCH THIS OUTSTANDING PUP SHINE. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU AND BARLO HAVE SPENT THE DAY TAKING LONG WALKS, RUNNING ERRANDS AROUND TOWN AND JUST ENJOYED BEING TOGETHER, AT THE END IF THE DAY WHEN YOU COME INSIDE, BUILD A FIRE AND SETTLE IN FOR THE EVENING YOU WILL FIND A BIG GORGEOUS LAB CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET. BARLO IS A BEAUTIFUL FELLOW WITH BEAUTIFUL MANNERS, HOUSE TRAINED AND CRATE TRAINED, RESPECTFUL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, KNOWING WHAT THINGS ARE HIS TO PLAY WITH AND THINGS TO LEAVE ALONE. IF YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR FAMILY A PUP THAT IS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT, ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT EVERYDAY, A FELLOW WITH A BEAUTIFUL DISPOSITION AND PERSONALITY, A GUY WHO ABSOLUTELY ADORES HIS FAMILY AND AS WE SAID ONE OF THE MOST GENTLE AND WELL MANNERED PUPS WE HAVE SEEN THEN LOOK NO FURTHER YOU'VE FOUND YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND. IF YOU MAKE BARLO A PART OF YOUR LIFE JUST BE PREPARED TO SMILE A LOT, LAUGH A LOT, BE ON THE GO A LOT AND LOVE THIS "LIFE IS GOOD" PUP A LOT. HE IS A JOY!!!
