Barnum

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young

Anniston, AL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Barnum is a beautiful Shepherd mix with a tender heart and a cautious spirit. Once feral, he learned to survive by relying on his instincts — and now he’s learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and understood. For the right person, Barnum will be an incredibly rewarding companion. But he isn’t for everyone. He’s for his person. Barnum becomes devoted to the person who makes him feel safe: offering gentle affection, leaning in for reassurance, and even rolling over for his favorite thing in the world — belly rubs. His mid-level anxious energy means he startles easily — even squeaky toys are a little too exciting for him right now. Barnum needs someone who understands that progress doesn’t happen overnight — but that small steps forward are victories worth celebrating. He will thrive with someone who will let him set the pace — whether that means giving him a little space or inviting him to cuddle when he needs reassurance. If you’re the patient, gentle, dog-savvy person Barnum has been waiting for, he’s ready to start that journey with you.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

We got our Boston terrier from a breeder back in 2022. His name is Bruce and he is three years old. He’s been such a joy but now we have a young kid and he’s just been too much for us to handle. He’s a very sweet boy and has lots of energy and loves to play. We are hoping to find a new and loving home that can give him all the love and attention he needs.
