About Barrington
Dogs – Yes, was a star in playgroup!
Cats – Unknown
Kids – Yes
Barrington didn't choose to be left behind, but that's exactly what happened. He was reportedly abandoned in a house, left alone when his person moved out. A kind neighbor stepped in and made sure he got help. Now, Barrington is safe at the shelter and ready to start over with a family who truly sees him.
He's a young dog with lots of energy, a curious mind, and a big, open heart. Volunteers say he seems to be housebroken, and he already knows how to sit and takes treats gently-small signs of the good boy he's always wanted to be. He'll thrive in a home that can offer him structure, patience, and lots of positive reinforcement.
Barrington is still working on things like leash manners and basic cues, and we think he'd benefit from positive reinforcement training-not just to help with skills, but to build a strong, trusting bond with his new people.
This sweet boy may have been left behind once, but he's not looking back. He's ready to move forward with someone who's just as loyal as he is. Come meet Barrington and see if he's the one you've been waiting for.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
