Barkus must be part Golum part bat dog with ears and eyes like that. His eyes are so big, you could swim in them. He's handler oriented and likes to be nearby and gnawing on a toy or stick. He's easy to leash and walk. Very good boy! Barkus was adopted on 9/7 but returned on 9/8 due to mouthing behaviors and becoming overstimulated around the children. Due to this, Barkus is looking for an adult only home. Barkus is currently eligible for rescue, foster and adoption. Head to ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to meet him. Behavioral: Volunteer noted 9/15 Barkus is the best! He has beautiful green eyes and a big smile. And the perfect size!!! He's in isolation but doesn't let it stop him. He loves cuddles and just wanted to be pet. Good on the leash. He does eat sticks and rocks so watch out for that, but was easily corrected. knows commands such a sit. Per volunteer 9/14 Left the kennel pretty calmly and walked pretty good on leash. In the play area he got jumpy but chilled out when he was chewing on a toy or stick. He was a little mouthy but immediately stopped when he had a toy or stick to chew on. He tried to eat trash on the ground but was redirectable. he switched between being super playful and wanting pets. Per staff on 9/6: BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: Barkus KNOWN HISTORY: Stray KENNEL PRESENTATION: In the kennel, Barkus came right up with a wagging tail and soft eyes. He was easy to leash and came right out LEASH SKILLS: -Pulled minimally- moderately HANDLING: Barkus went outside for his eval with soft eyes and a wagging tail. Once in the covered run he began to explore and sniff around. He allowed all the handling and solicited tons of hugs and attention. He is a very easy going pupper and is a joy to be around. His calm demeanor didn't frighten the cats in passing and he didn't react. He would look at the cats and walk away. He knows how to sit and is very gentle with play. PLAY Will follow and run around with the handler TOYS: Interest but doesn't take possession Videos: Barkus in the play yard: https://youtube.com/shorts/6QWk7CgBXc4?feature=share Cutie Barkus: https://youtube.com/shorts/zgW9gk0laR0?feature=share ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia.
