Meet Barney! Barney is a 4.5-year-old, 10.8lbs male Italian Greyhound. Barney is a sweet and loving iggy lad. He can be a bit shy but does want to be your friend and doesn’t take long to warm up. He is a bit thin but is eating well so he can gain a couple of pounds. Barney has small cataracts in both eyes that are not interfering with his vision. The nature of his cataracts are genetic and most of these cataracts in adult dogs do not progress, but progression is possible. Barney’s ideal home would have a confident canine companion and a physically fenced in yard.
The adoption fee is $500. This includes the neuter, dental cleaning, microchip, heartworm test, wellness bloodwork, fecal flotation and all core vaccines.
If you are interested in adopting Barney, please e-mail adoptions@thelovepetproject.org with "Barney" in the subject. Please also tell us about yourself and your household.
