My story

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



Meet Barrett – Your Loyal Sidekick in the Making

Barrett is a 3-year-old male who came to the shelter as a stray, but you’d never guess it from his gentle manners and easygoing charm. This calm, well-behaved boy walks beautifully on leash, sticking close by your side and enjoying every step of the journey.

Barrett already knows “sit” and “shake,” and takes treats like the perfect gentleman he is.

He also gets along well with well-matched dogs, making him a great candidate for a home with another friendly pup.

Barrett has a spark of playfulness—especially when a ball is involved—but he’s mostly a laid-back, loyal companion who’s happiest just being near his people. He would love daily walks and quiet adventures with his forever family.

If you’re looking for a loyal, good-natured companion who’s ready to start his next chapter, come meet Barrett today—he might just be the perfect match you’ve been waiting for.
