Personality: Affectionate, Dignified, Friendly, Independent
Barbara,
our 3 year old 46 pound husky (shepherd)mix, doesn't want you to be intimidated
by her Paul Hollywood eyes. Sure, they are so blue that you immediately
want to check your pastry for a soggy bottom, but Barbara isn't here to
judge you. She just wants to meet your cat and cuddle up with you on the
couch.
Barbara was found stray with a shoelace imbedded tightly around her neck. She needed time to heal from that deep wound so we happily took her in. Now recovered, Barbara is finally ready for adoption.
If given a choice, Barbara's best friends would be cats. She often tries to convince them to play; if uninterested, Barbara will gaze lovingly at them instead. Barbara is tolerant of dogs but they aren't as exciting to her as cats. She would do well with another laid back dog who mostly ignored her.
Barbara is house trained
and respectful. She hates the crate, but can be trusted to be left out
for a short amount of time. Barbara struggles with being alone for more
than a few hours though. Although she typically only destroys stuffies,
she'll start to get vocal if she's lonely and it takes her a while to
come down from that anxiety. We put Barbara on fluoxetine (Prozac) to
help with her separation anxiety. We recommend she stay on this for at
least 6 months after adoption.
Barbara would thrive with an
active family. She loves walks and hikes and adventures. Barbara is also
very smart and wants to please her people. Like most dogs, Barbara is
happiest with plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. After trekking,
Barbara is good at relaxing on a bar patio with friends or on the couch
to watch a movie. Barbara has done very well with older kids. She does
guard her food from other animals. Although we've not seen Barbara guard
food from people, it is for this reason we don't recommend small kids
in her home.
Barbara is heartworm negative and current on her flea and heartworm preventatives. Her adoption fee is $250.
Does
your cat not mind being lovingly gazed at? Are you confident enough
with your baking skills to not be intimidated by a Paul Hollywood stare?
