Barry

Barry has been at the shelter for nearly a year after he was confiscated from a previous owner. Staff descriptions recommend Barry for a family experienced with large dogs since he is strong and pulls hard on a leash.
Staff note that Barry listens to verbal commands but recommends new visitors take it slow when meeting him for the first time. Staff say he would be best suited for a home without children where he can be the only pet in the household.
