Barney is a recent arrival at NCCR, happy to find his way to the shelter after living rough without a home of his own. He is an adorable baby-faced bulldog mix with a beautiful brindle coat, believed to be just 1 or 2 years old. He was a little shy at first, and uncertain about living indoors, but after a few days of regular meals, a bed and toys of his own, and lots of love, he is settling in beautifully and has really begun to show his playful side. He likes to play tug with his leash and can be a bit of a clown – he’ll benefit from some more training, but he has a great temperament to work with. He is one of those special dogs with that certain something – if someone devotes the time and love he needs, he is going to turn into a true star! He seems to be completely unbothered by most of the dogs around him, and usually just wags his tail at them. He also loves to lean on you for petting. Barney has had a full veterinary exam, microchip, vaccines, neutering, & dewormer, and is ready to roll on out to his new home! If a lovable bulldog buddy strikes your fancy, you won’t want to miss out on this true blue champion in the making!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Barney is sponsored by Elizabeth Carlson in honor of her hubby and our sweet Rosie (our NCCR rescue), Dana Pettinato, Don and Joanne Pochopin in memory of Charlotte, Tom and Betsy White and by William & Cindy Hepfer. Thank you!
