Barry is a young, medium-sized Kelpie mix (with a little bit of everything!) who’s ready to take on the world with his forever family by his side. Weighing in at just around 30 pounds, Barry is the perfect size for cuddling on the couch and hitting the trails.
This curious and energetic boy loves to explore his surroundings and thrives on new experiences. He’s good on leash and enjoys his walks, especially when he gets to sniff all the exciting things the world has to offer. While Barry can be a bit cautious when meeting new people, once he feels safe, his affectionate and playful personality shines through. He truly blossoms with the people he trusts and will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give.
Barry is still learning how to manage his enthusiasm around his favorite humans — he gets so excited sometimes he forgets his manners — so a little guidance and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping him be his best self. He did great meeting other dogs in the shelter playgroup, but was not a fan of sharing his food and his person in a home with another dog.
If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving young dog who’s ready to grow, learn, and explore life with you, Barry might just be your perfect match! 💛

ADOPTION The Compassionate Choice. Choosing to adopt an animal rather than buying from a breeder or pet shop is the easiest and best thing you can do to help reduce the number of unwanted pets. Shelters across the country are filled with wonderful dogs and cats looking for safe, loving homes. Each and every one of them deserves to be loved. Bringing a new animal into your home is a big decision. We ask all potential adopters or "guardians" to complete a comprehensive questionnaire and then meet with one of our trained adoption counselors who will help find the right pet for your lifestyle. Because your new pet is an important part of your family, we encourage you to bring ALL family members in to meet him or her, including your dog(s) if you are considering adopting one of shelter dogs. The adoption fees are $50-$100 for a cat and $100-$180 for a dog. This low fee includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, a registered micro-chip, and a wellness check.

More about this shelter
The Palm Springs Animal Shelter is an open-admission municipal shelter serving the City of Palm Springs. The shelter is operated by Friends of the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, a non-profit organization dedicated to building a community responsible for pet stewardship and humane treatment of animals. The public/private partnership has created a compassionate and progressive shelter that serves as safe haven for both highly adoptable animals as well as those who require behavioral training or medical treatment before they can be adopted into loving homes.
Although we spend time with each animal to prepare it for adoption, we cannot be sure how a pet with behave with other pets or with children outside of the shelter.
