Notes from Oakland Animal Services
Barley – Playful, Easygoing, and Affectionate
Meet Barley, a 3-year-old, 49-pound American Pit Bull Terrier mix with a playful spirit and a sweet, laid-back side!
Great Walking Buddy: Barley walks nicely on leash with little pulling. On a field trip, he enjoyed sniffing and taking in the sights, generally ignoring passing strangers while calmly accepting pets from people who approached. He showed some interest in other dogs but was easily redirected to keep walking. Playful Ball Chaser: Toss a tennis ball, and Barley is ready to chase! He loves gnawing on his ball and is happy to trade it for yummy treats. Smart & Treat Motivated: Barley responds to “sit,” is still polishing up “down,” and can catch treats midair like a pro. Sweet & Affectionate: Barley loves leaning in for butt scratches and enjoying time with his people. He can get a little bouncy when excited, but his playful enthusiasm adds to his charm.
Barley would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with well-matched canine friends.
