Barr

My story

Intake date 8 December 2024 . rough coated, tri colored neutered male purebred border collie, appx weight 48lbs (could gain a couple of pounds) DOB December 2023 . Barr came to us from a partner because he isn`t suited for work in the public sector. He is, however, a lovely boy who wants nothing more than a human of his own. Barr is somewhat shy, though warms up quickly when handled appropriately. He gets on well with other dogs, is nicely crate trained, and walks well on leash. . Barr will do best in a multi-dog home with dog savvy folks who can help him build partnership and confidence in order to thrive. He should have some sort of regular `job` activity to bend his brain and body, and folks who want a real companion. . This dog is located in Maryland - we do not ship or transport dogs. For information on adoption, an FAQ, and our application, please see our website at mabcr.org. If you are interested in adoption, please submit an application, complete with documentation. . Dogs that have not lived previously with children will not be offered to homes where young (generally under 12) children reside. We do not `test` dogs with children or cats, since testing here will not show an accurate picture, and may give potential adopters false comfort. If a dog has lived with children or cats, that will be stated in their description. We do begin crate training all dogs on intake, however, we do not guarentee hosuebreaking, though most dogs are situationally housebroken. . We do not place dogs as ESA, nor will we place a dog as hypo-allergenic. Applicants interested in adoption of a potential service dog must be working with an experienced trainer. Please indicate on the application what skills a potential service dog will be asked to perform. . Please note that some dogs may be placed with an alter deposit and contract, and any dog of any age may be placed with a training deposit and contract -- this would be noted on offer, prior to placement. For additional information on these policies, please see our website. . Questions about dogs are generally not answered here due to lack of staffing. All available dogs may not be listed on our website due to time constraints and does not effect a specific dog`s availability. Additional information and photos will be posted here as time permits.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Barr, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
