Hey everyone — it’s me, Barkley!
I think maybe you forgot about me, so I wanted to say hi again. I’m doing really well now — I’m on the right meds and working with Jessica Ann Colliti, a dog behaviorist who helped me learn to trust again. My foster family loves me so much… but they know they’re not my forever home. Without them, I don’t know where I’d be today. â¤ï¸
My Story
I’m a handsome blue-nose Staffordshire Terrier with soulful eyes and a heart that’s been through a lot. I was abandoned and ended up in a shelter — just hours from being euthanized on Christmas Eve until rescue angels stepped in and saved me.
After rescue, I bounced from foster to foster. Some were kind, some weren’t… and every move left another scar on my heart. But I never gave up. With training and patience, I’ve made amazing progress.
I’m super loyal — when I bond, I love deeply and protectively. I can be nervous with new people at first and may nip at hands or feet if I’m unsure. I’m not “bad”… I’m just healing and still learning that love is safe.
⨠Once I trust you, I’m a totally different dog:
âªï¸ Zoomie king
âªï¸ Stick-chaser & ball-obsessed
âªï¸ Couch cuddler & comedy sidekick
âªï¸ Lives to make you smile
What I Need:
âï¸ Calm, patient, pitbull-savvy home
âï¸ No kids or cats
âï¸ Maybe another gentle dog
âï¸ Someone who sees beyond my scars
With the right person, I’ll be the most devoted companion you could ever ask for. I’ve waited so long — maybe you’re the one I’ve been waiting for.
