Barkley $400 German Shepherd Dog Milwaukee, WI

Hey future family! My name is Barkley and I am an 11 month old Shepherd Mix weighing about 70 pounds.

I enjoy playing with other dogs of all sizes, but I am also content as an only dog too! I like to play tug of war with my foster siblings and with all sorts of toys. I’m a higher energy lad and like to have various forms of enrichment throughout the day. I’m a great candidate for going to the dog park or doggy daycare! I’m an expert cuddler too! I sleep through the night cuddled up next to my foster mom. I am not a huge fan of the crate, since I would much prefer to be with you! If all human food is put away, I have proven to be trustworthy in the house. I get along great with my foster cat sibling but sometimes we like to play, so dog savvy cats would be preferred. I’ve also met a guinea pig and didn’t mind her! I'm looking for a forever family that would take me on adventures in the car, to the dog park and a family that I would be able to make memories with. In my foster home so far I have learned “sit”, "lay down", “paw”, “touch," and to come to my name when called. Another thing you should know about me is that I LOVE water!! I’ve gone swimming a few times and it’s so much fun! I’ve made many human and furry friends, but right now I would do best with kids 8+ because I’m still learning to keep all 4 paws on the floor, but I’m working hard on it! I would love to be your forever adventure buddy. I’m a sweet handsome playful lad in search of my forever family! If you think we’d make a great match, apply today and see if we can be together forever!
