Watch out, here comes a tail! Barney is a big goofy pup whose favorite things are people, being outside, and playing chase with other dogs. Barney has been working hard on learning his basic manners, housetraining and walking nicely on a leash. He is improving lots and is very eager to please! Being born outside and having a less than ideal start to life, he's had to adapt to some new things and has done amazing. He is tolerating the crate as his foster helps him understand that it's a safe place and not a punishment. Barney isn't shy to let you know precisely how he feels about being separated from the fun. Barney would do great in most any home, but may do better with kids that are older so he doesn't knock them down in his excitement. Barney has not yet met cats, but he is playful and excited when meeting other dogs. In fact, he would benefit from another dog to show him how to grow into his confidence and become his best self. Barney has a zest for life and is ready to share it!
Barney BooBoo is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 09/12/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9ama nd noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Visit our Foster to Adopt Program page to learn more. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
