Barbara, our 3 year old 46 pound husky mix, doesn't want you to be intimidated by her Paul Hollywood eyes. Sure, they are so blue that you immediately want to check your pastry for a soggy bottom, but Barbara isn't here to judge you. She just wants to meet your cat and cuddle up with you on the couch.
Barbara was found stray with a shoelace imbedded tightly around her neck. She needed time to heal from that deep wound so we happily took her in. Now recovered, Barbara is finally ready for adoption.
If given a choice, Barbara's best friends would be cats. She often tries to convince them to play; if uninterested, Barbara will gaze lovingly at them instead. Barbara is tolerant of dogs but they aren't as exciting to her as cats. She would do well with another laid back dog who mostly ignored her.
Barbara is house trained and respectful. She hates the crate, but can be trusted to be left out for a short amount of time. Barbara struggles with being alone for more than a few hours though. Although she typically only destroys stuffies, she'll start to get vocal if she's lonely and it takes her a while to come down from that anxiety. We put Barbara on fluoxetine (Prozac) to help with her separation anxiety. We recommend she stay on this for at least 6 months after adoption.
Barbara would thrive with an active family. She loves walks and hikes and adventures. Barbara is also very smart and wants to please her people. Like most dogs, Barbara is happiest with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. After trekking, Barbara is good at relaxing on a bar patio with friends or on the couch to watch a movie. Barbara has done very well with older kids. She does guard her food from other animals. Although we've not seen Barbara guard food from people, it is for this reason we don't recommend small kids in her home.
Barbara is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $250.
