Ahoy, matey! Meet Barnacle Bill, a 3-year-old, 50-pound English Bulldog who takes his couch time seriously and considers your lap part of his territory.
Barnacle Bill - AKA Barney - is still working on perfecting his house manners and needs a household that can stick to a meticulous potty schedule. His people need to take the lead on regular trips outside and pay attention between breaks. If a trip gets missed or nobody is paying attention, he'll relieve himself indoors. And yes, Bill is a little bougie about the weather. When it's raining or cold, he'll need some encouragement to leave his cozy spot and get down to business. Fortunately, he's very food motivated and responds well to rewards.
Barney has allergies and takes a daily allergy relief medication. He also requires a fish-based dog food diet. His adopter will need to keep up with both as part of his daily care.
Barney has done well with other dogs who respect his space and has lived with cats at his foster home. He'd do best with dog-savvy children who are comfortable with his size and enthusiasm. He's looking for an experienced adopter who knows the care English Bulldogs and other brachycephalic breeds require. A tether or invisible fence is unsuitable for Barney.
Barnacle Bill is ready to drop anchor with a family who'll keep him on schedule, coax him out on rainy mornings, and make room for a 50-pound lap dog.
Barnacle Bill is:
Current on Bordetella, Distemper, and Rabies
Dewormed
Heartworm Tested: Negative
Receiving Heartworm and Flea Prevention
Microchipped
Neutered
ADOPTION FEE: $350
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.
Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal's temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
