Barkley

Hi there, I’m Barkley, but you can call me “Stash” – yeah, you see that glorious mustache? I mean, I’ve got the facial hair of a gentleman, but don’t be fooled – I’m all about fun! They call me “Stash Barkley” around here because I rock this ‘stache like a legend.

 

I’m a poodle mix (possibly with a little terrier in me), so I’ve got the charm and smarts, but just a heads-up – I can’t promise I’m completely shed-free. I’m four years old and have the energy of a puppy, which means I’m always up for playtime! Just this week, I learned this super cool game called fetch. (Why didn’t anyone tell me about this sooner?) You throw the toy, I bring it back, and we both get a good laugh – it’s the best!

 

Toys? Obsessed. Chewies? Can’t get enough. Belly rubs? Just say when. I also love to wrestle and hang out with my foster brother and sister – they’re a pretty fun crowd, and I fit right in. I get along great with other dogs and people too, because I’m just the happiest little guy around!

I’m still learning the whole potty-training thing. But now that I’m “fixed” (don’t ask – it was a bit of a surprise to me too), things should get easier. I’d do best with someone who’s home often or works from home regularly, especially while I’m getting the hang of potty training. And having a doggie friend and a yard for quick bathroom breaks would make things even better!

 

Oh, and bedtime? I’m a pro. I sleep right through the night, snuggled up in bed with my foster parents – it’s cozy and perfect, just the way I like it.

 

I came from a busy shelter after my previous family fell on hard times. But I’m not letting that bring me down – I’ve settled right into this new life and am ready to bring my mustache, my playfulness, and my love of life to a new forever family. So, whaddya say? Don’t you want this ‘Stash in your life?
