About

Meet Barnaby

Barnaby was born around March 19, 2022 and will likely fill out about 40 lbs..  A local dog control officer seized Barnaby after the owner overdosed.  Barnaby and a few other dogs were found inside the home in crates that were stacked on top of each other. Many had no food or water.   Barnaby was adopted out by the local dog control officer to someone wishing to help after hearing his story in the local news.   Unfortunately, Barnaby was not doing well with the children in the home aged 2 and 4.  When the adopters contacted the dog control officer to return Barnaby they were told it wasn't the dog control officer's problem anymore.  Joyful Rescues was happy to help and Barnaby has been a pleasure to get to know.   Barnaby rides well in the car and walks ok on a leash.  Barnaby has been doing well with the other dogs here but we would not put him in a home with a highly dominant male.  Barnaby is going to have a beautiful, luxurious, coat with regular grooming but right now it's a bit lackluster.  He is really good about baths and walks well on leash.  He does love toys and especially those with squeekers! Barnaby is a little shy in new situations and he will likely not be the type that you take everywhere with you but he is intensely loyal and loving with his humans.  This is all we know so far and we will be learning as we go. Barnaby has too much interest in kittties to live with any in his next home.  The Adoption Fee for this dog is $450.00. Adoption fees vary based on adoptability.
