Hi there! My name is Barry, and I'm an 8-year-old, 90-pound Labradoodle with a big heart, a playful spirit, and plenty of love to give! If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who enjoys both outdoor adventures and a good snuggle, I might be your guy!
I've spent my whole life with my family, growing up alongside children and other dogs. I love people of all ages, although sometimes I get a little excited when saying hello! I'm generally friendly with other dogs, though I can occasionally be a bit indifferent to them. I haven't met any cats, so I'm not sure what I think about those little creatures.
Don't let my age fool you! I still love running around, playing fetch, and exploring. I'm also a big fan of hugs and snuggling. I know several commands, including sit, lay down, come, and even sit pretty! I'm food motivated, which could make learning new things together a lot of fun.
For the past several years, I've spent most of my time outdoors in a fenced yard and slept in a kennel in the garage. I was housetrained as a youngster, but since I haven't lived indoors for a while, I may need a refresher. I'm crate trained, ride nicely in the car (although I get pretty excited!), and could use some practice walking politely on a leash.
My family loves me very much, but unfortunately, my shedding causes allergies in our household. They want me to find a wonderful home where I can be fully embraced for the big, lovable guy I am.
My dream family would appreciate a large, affectionate dog, give me room to run, and help me enjoy more walks and adventures. I'm not a fan of thunderstorms or fireworks, so a little reassurance during loud noises would mean a lot.
I've got so much love left to give. Could you be my next best friend?
