My story

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

We first met Barney in August of 2014, when we pulled him from a neglectful situation. He was extremely skinny and had a terrible skin and eye infection. He had slipped a disc in his back because he didn't have enough fat and muscle to support everything. We weren't sure if he was ever going to walk again. Shortly after the Judge sided with us a rescue had pulled him and his sister Bailey from us. Today, Barney, is doing amazing. After gaining weight and some therapy Barney is a new dog. He loves all other dogs from 13 month old puppies to seniors like him. He can not only walk again but he loves to run! When you look at Barney you see the grey on his face but his personality is like he's a puppy.

If you are interested in more information on Barney please contact Schererville Animal Control and Shelter at 219-865-6992. We will be happy to hear from you and put you in contact with the amazing rescue who is caring for him. Also check out our facebook page Schererville Animal Shelter for some updated pictures and videos of Barney!
