Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Barclay is a great combination of intrepid explorer, playful companion and sweet cuddler," according to one of Barclay's friends who "borrowed" him for a few hours of home visit. He loves his lap time, including napping on your lap, as seen in one of the pix.
Barclay is a good looking black pup with a sweet and calm disposition. He LOVES laps and will stay as long as you make a lap available to him. Barclay was surrendered by a family that had multiple other dogs that they were struggling to care for. Barclay, a mom and two pups were surrendered to be rehomed. They gave another pup to a UPS driver making a delivery.
The vet aged Barclay at 14 weeks on January 12. We are guessing at breed here. He is surely part Lab and German Shepherd, but what else is a mystery. Dogs from the area who have DNA testing often have 20 or more breeds and they nearly always have some shepherd, husky, Miniature American Shepherd, cattle dog, Aussie, and even the largest pooches have a bit of Chihuahua. We estimate that Barclay will be in the upper end of mid-sized dog when full grown. But, his people should be prepared to love him if he is larger or smaller than predicted.
Barclay came from a family with children, other dogs and cats. He loves his outdoor play time and is more than happy to come back inside to a comfy bed. We are working on house breaking but it is a work in progress. He is crated with the resident dog during the night and for 4-5 hours at a time during the work day. He keeps their crate clean and dry. He has done a tiny bit of walking on a leash. He is possessive of his food with other pups but does not challenge the adult dog in his foster home, even for high value items. He would be best paired with a larger dog to avoid competition.
The early months are when puppy learns the social skills needed to be a skilled dog in dealing with other dogs and a good citizen in the human world. Adopters should be committed to getting puppy into lots of new and different human social situations, hearing vacuums, trucks, and rattling garbage cans, meeting people who are clapping, laughing, with hats, tools, bikes and skate boards. AND puppy needs many opportunities to meet and greet dogs of all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Just sharing a home with another dog is not as much doggie socializing as puppy needs. If good canine social skills are not learned and maintained during these early months, it will be very difficult to ever master them. Puppy play dates, trips to the pet store, puppy socialization classes and later, obedience classes are particularly important. If all this doggie time and involvement seems like a good idea, you are up for a puppy! As always, a tired dog is a good dog.
Puppy has been vet checked, is vaccinated, and de-wormed. He will need one additional puppy vaccination at the adopter’s expense. We do place puppies outside the metro area if a firm plan for the alter surgery is in place; we do not ship. His required alter surgery is covered by the adoption fee if it is done at 6 months at the PUP clinic. We require that he be altered at 6 months.
If you are at least 21 years old and everyone in your household is on board with adopting a puppy, CALL 651-645-4370 between 7:00 am and 9:30 pm and we will return your call within 24 hours. We are pretty slow at responding to e-mail. Renters must provide proof that you are allowed to have a puppy. If you currently have a companion dog or cat please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption if requested.
