My story

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

Meet Barney, a sweet and snuggly boy who absolutely loves attention and cuddles! Whether its a cozy snuggle session or enjoying a Kong or bully stick, Barney is in his element when hes getting love and relaxation. However, Barney is a sensitive soul who has been through several transitions recently, and he can get easily overwhelmed or worried about changes in his environment. He tends to be cautious around new people and unfamiliar places, so hell need a patient adopter who can offer him a slow, gentle introduction to new experiences.

Barney is also a bit unsure of new dogs at first, but with time and a thoughtful introduction, he can build strong friendships. Once he feels comfortable, his playful and silly side shines throughhe loves romping around and playing games of chase and tag with his doggy friends!

Barney is looking for a calm, understanding home that will give him the time and space he needs to settle in and build trust. If youre ready to provide this sensitive, affectionate boy with the gentle care he deserves, Barney could be the perfect companion for you!

If you would like to learn more, stop by MSPCA at Northeast Animal Shelter. We have open adoption hours 11:30am-5pm daily no appointment or application needed.

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat areas will remain open to walk through.

More about this shelter

Northeast Animal Shelter, established in 1976, is now part of the MSPCA-Angell, giving us a better opportunity to serve our community, provide additional life-saving programs and services, and protect more animals from cruelty and neglect.

Our adoption program is designed to be welcoming, nonjudgmental, and free of lengthy applications. We strive to engage all prospective adopters in a conversation aimed at matching an adopter’s lifestyle, interests and home environment with an animal’s personality, medical and behavioral needs. Adopting an animal is an extraordinary opportunity to choose your newest family member. At the MSPCA it is a great privilege for our staff and volunteers to guide that journey for adopters and animals.
