My story

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


This adorable guy has spent nearly half of his life at the shelter after being picked up as a stray and he is ready to break free. Barton can be timid at first around new people, but he has been working on his socialization skills and is making great progress. Several meet and greets will probably be required to fully earn his trust, but once you earn it he will love you forever. He walks very well on a leash and loves treats. He already knows some basic commands and with treats is willing to put in the work to learn more. Barton also loves children, he follows them around like a little babysitter. If you are looking for a great addition for your home make an appointment to come out and meet Barton.

More about this shelter

The Allegany County Animal Shelter serves as the municipal shelter for Allegany County and is located at 716 Furnace Street in Cumberland. For many years, the shelter served as the final destination for nearly 85% of the animals that entered it. In late 2010, a group of passionate citizens led the charge to change the nature of the shelter with a goal of doing as much as possible for every animal, every day. It was the first step on the journey to becoming A Shelter of Hope.
