Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Barney is a very handsome and sweet two year old small (30 pounds) boxer/terrier mix who has had a rough last few months. His owner, who raised him from a puppy, died recently and he has been staying with two different relatives who are not experienced dog owners. As a result, he was justifiably very nervous when we first started fostering him a few weeks ago. He has really blossomed. He loves playing with our two smaller dogs, going on walks, playing and running in fenced in dog parks. He has a good appetite, knows basic commands, is house trained(!!!), and is happy to sleep in his crate at night. He is neutered and up to date with all his shots. We think he will continue to thrive with an experienced dog family. He can be a bit skittish around young kids, so if a family with children, teenagers and older only. Barney is a wonderful dog. He is now being fostered in Newton, MA. If interested, please fill out an adoption application on our website at www.alldogrescue.org.
