My story

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

Hi I am Barney!
I am young, energetic, and a little goofy. I love to sprint, explore, and are always curious about everything around us. I am a sweet boy who loves treats and food which will be my biggest motivation. I am still learning the ropes, so I need someone patient to train me. I used to roam freely, what these humans call a stray, but now I am looking for a place to call home. I do get a bit spooked sometimes, but with a patient, loving family, I know I will feel safe.
Why should you adopt me? I am not just a pet, I am a companions, and I can't wait to start my journey with you.

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.
