DESCRIPTION
Barley (female) and Marley (male) were surrendered to a shelter in New Mexico with their parents, River and Clay. We were able to rescue the entire family from the shelter and they are now in a foster home in Fort Collins. They are both very friendly and affectionate, bouncy, and love to play. They are currently about 14 weeks old and will need work on potty training and kennel training.
They are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Their parents are 26 and 35 lbs so they will likely be in between those sizes when full grown.
