Barley - Black Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Chapel Hill, North Carolina
BARLEY
Black Labrador Retriever, Mixed Breed
🇺🇸
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
September 23rd
male, large, senior
DESCRIPTION
After recently losing his owner, Barley is looking for a special person or family to spend his golden years with. Barley is a senior lab with lots of love left to give and he would be happiest in a calm, comfortable home where he can enjoy life at his own pace.
Barley really does love everyone! He gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, adults, and kids. Give him some pets and a few treats, and you'll be his favorite person.
At 12, Barley is a senior gentleman and his new family will need to be mindful of his age and changing needs. He has some known kidney issues and is currently doing well on a prescription renal diet, which will need to continue as part of his care. He also has some difficulty with stairs and slippery hardwood floors, so a home with fewer stairs and some rugs or other traction would help him get around comfortably.
Barley is looking for comfort, companionship, and someone who appreciates the quiet joys of having a sweet and gentle dog around. If that sounds like you, Barley may be your guy.
ABOUT: BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER DOG BREED
The black Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile breed known for its friendly nature, intelligence, and loyalty. They are agile, keen swimmers with a strong work ethic, making them excellent hunting and service dogs. Their glossy black coat is low maintenance and sheds minimally, while their friendly temperament makes them great family pets. Black Labs are known for their outgoing personalities and eagerness to please, making them loving companions in various roles and settings.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
