Name: Barry Suspected Breed(s): Collie mix Gender: Male Age: 9 months old Weight: 73.5 lbs Personality: adaptable, loyal, playful, eager to please, quick learner, snuggler, smart, protective, trainable, friendly Observations with Dogs: Barry needs training to properly greet other dogs when on walks. That said, he has fun and plays well with the resident dogs in his previous and current foster home. Observations with Cats: Barry does well with cats. Observations with Kids: Barry enjoys playing with the “tweens” in his foster home. He may be a bit much for a home with young children, as he may inadvertently knock a young child over while trying to show his love. House Training Progress: No recent accidents. Crate Training Progress: Dislikes the crate, but is well-behaved in the home and is trusted to be left uncrated. Location: DC area foster Rescued From: Roane County, WV Additional Information: Barry is a big, adorable lovebug at home. He is a pro at doing tricks for treats, and he already knows sit, shake, down, wait, and come. Barry also enjoys playing with his toys (he loves to chew!) and chasing the ball around. He has a lot of energy and would love an adopter with a big yard or who likes to go on runs or hikes! Barry is an extra-large puppy! He's affectionate and is still learning leash manners, so he needs an adopter who is willing to work on training to help him mature into the polite dog we know he can be. He gets along well with the resident dog at his foster home, but Barry is a big boy who gets over-excited when he encounters other dogs on walks. Speaking of excitement, Barry loves greeting new humans, and he is learning that jumping up is not the best way to show that joy. In addition to being movie star handsome, Barry is well behaved in the house and very friendly and playful. He will talk to you like Chewbacca when he is excited about something like a walk or a meal, or just to tell you he loves you. (For this reason he may not be the best fit for an apartment building.) Barry is also a good watchdog; he'll let you know a package is delivered before the porch pirates have a chance. He loves kids and is playful with other dogs and seems fine with cats. Barry is BIG. If you love big dogs (and who doesn't?) he might be just the one for you. Barry is sponsored by Kevin R. Thank you for saving a life! __________________________________ If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon.

We do not have a shelter. We focus on local adoptions in DC and the metro area of Maryland and Virginia. CDR&CK has a thorough adoption process in order to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first served model). Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter (unless specified). We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam prior to adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDR&CK. City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, Bordatella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis. Most cats and dogs will have a house training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained. We also update our Facebook page daily with new cats and dogs. show less
