Meet Barry 🐾
Barry is a 6-month-old Border Collie–Dachshund mix with short legs, a long body, and a sweet, sensitive personality. He may be shy or a little standoffish at first when meeting new people or experiencing new environments, but he does best when given time, patience, and a calm introduction.
Once Barry feels safe and settled, he blossoms into a loving snuggle bug who enjoys being close to his people. He’s an intelligent puppy who likes learning at his own pace, gentle play, and quiet companionship. With consistency and kindness, Barry is growing more confident every day and forming strong bonds with those he trusts.
Care Tips for Barry 💛
Slow introductions: Allow Barry to approach new people and situations on his own terms. Avoid forcing interactions.
Consistent routine: Regular feeding, walks, and rest times help him feel secure and reduce anxiety.
Positive reinforcement: Use praise and treats to encourage confidence and learning. Gentle guidance works best for him.
Safe space: Provide a cozy bed or crate where Barry can retreat and relax when he needs downtime.
Balanced activity: Short walks, play sessions, and mental stimulation suit his age and body type, followed by plenty of rest.
Snuggle time: Once he’s comfortable, physical closeness helps strengthen trust and reassurance.
With patience, love, and thoughtful care, Barry will continue to grow into a confident, affectionate companion who brings warmth and joy to his home.
