Like most seniors, he has his medical issues but other than that he is the most agreeable and easy dog to have around! Since the last feedback was written it’s been discovered he has allergies so maintains his symptoms with a monthly cytopoint injection and has also been diagnosed with Cushing's disease which he takes meds once a day.    Barklee is looking for a quiet home that is prepared to spoil him rotten and is prepared to cover his monthly costs to keep him thriving. In return, he will give you a free 24-hour in-home security system, endless pets while cuddled up on the couch, the easiest most joyful walks through the neighborhood, and constant entertainment while he finds joy in the goofiest of ways.  A couple of other notes: VERY dog-friendly, ok with cats, not good with kids, friendly to adults, potty trained once familiar in his environment (he’s a marker but does great with belly bands for the first intro period), sleeps like a champ in his kennel, does have to go out to potty quite frequently so someone who is home a lot to let him out is ideal.   Barklee is such a fun boy and would absolutely love to meet you to win you over. Please consider filling out an adoption application and giving this super senior the best remaining time on earth with his forever family.   4/26/2022 Foster Feedback:  Wanted:  A nice quiet retirement home for Barklee. This little 25 pound gentleman is looking for a home where he can snuggle on a blanket and go for walks.  He is good with other dogs and cats, is friendly with adults and strangers…but wants a home free from children.   Barklee is 13 years old and thus qualifies for our Senior for Senior adoption fee of only $65 if you are 65 years young.  As with most aging dogs, Barklee has a couple of meds to help with some arthritis and his liver values.  He is a very agreeable little guy who is usually quiet and sweet… but on occasion can get a little spunky.  Do you have room for him on your couch?   3/1/2022: Mr. Barklee has been with us since October and he's finally at the point where he can start his search for his forever home! We've been working through some minor medical things and he's now stable and healthy on some medications for his arthritis and a liver supplement. Barklee has been SUCH an easy houseguest! He gets along beautifully with our three Pitbulls and tolerates our cat for the most part (he's gotten upset with her a few times for reasons only the two of them know about, so if he goes to a house with cats he will probably just need some supervision to make sure he's a gentleman.) He also has loved all the adult people he has met. He's very sweet and mellow-mannered when meeting new friends. He wasn't a fan of the children in his previous home though so we are requiring that he does not go to a home with kids so he can live out his retirement years in peaceful happiness. Barklee absolutely loves his walks and is the perfect gentleman on a leash. He kennels great and sleeps through the night with no problem. He's not really a barky dog but will let us know if someone is about to trespass through our neighborhood. He's very low-key, he's usually found curled up on his favorite blanket taking a nap. Barklee is also potty trained BUT in new environments, he wears a belly band because he wants to make sure all the land is known to be his (ie: he marks). He tried marking around our house when he initially came to us so he wore a belly band for about a week. After a week or so he was fine to be without his belly band. Easy peasy to manage! He does have an old man bladder though and has to go outside to pee quite frequently so someone who is home a lot is best. He's great at letting us know he has to potty! Barklee rides ok in the car but can get whiny so isn't going to be one of those dogs who loses his mind when asked "wanna go for a ride?!". He's a sweet little homebody this guy. Don't let his age fool you, he can be a mischievous little guy still and show some sass! Barklee is a serious catch. He really, really wants to find his forever home that is going to love him as he is, respect his wishes, and spoil him rotten as he deserves. We're going to miss the little guy when he gets adopted but his finding his forever home is our ultimate wish!  

Look for other dogs for adoption!
