Foster home needed in the Portland/Salem/Vancouver area - Barry flew to Portland from Guadalajara (where he was rescued off the streets in bad shape) and went into a foster to adopt home in Portland, but unfortunately after 10 months Barry is not a good fit due to his distrust with the man in the house, so we are now looking for a female only home for Barry!
Barry
4 years old
18 pounds
Poodle
Neutered
Microchipped
Up to date on all vaccines
Barry is a lovely, albeit complex little guy. I’ll start with his awesome qualities: he rarely barks, he is relaxed in the car, he is very smart and very food motivated, he has a moderate energy level and is happy to nap much of the day, but definitely enjoys long walks and is good on leash, he doesn’t destroy things or mark in the house when left alone, fireworks and thunder are not a problem, he can be silly and makes us laugh a lot.
Barry’s challenges: Barry does not trust strangers, and has fear issues with men – he would need a female-only household, and will take time to warm up to new people. He has boundaries around being touched and his trust can be earned by respecting them.
Barry’s ideal caregiver would be someone who is patient and gentle, preferably with experience with a more challenging dog, and knowledge of dog boundaries, body language and trauma.
Barry would do best as the only pet in the house with no young kids.
