We have nice video of them loving being pet, and they are absolutely adorable. See video here: https://www.facebook.com/reel/2003309473429713 The shelter tested Barkley in the playyard and said,' He entered the yard and was social with a female border collie and male pit bull. He exchanged good greetings with both and calmly roamed the yard with them. The border collie attempted to entice play with him. He play bowed and jumped over him, trying to engage in play. Barkley was tolerant of her attempts but did not accept. He continued to roam calmly and exchange good greetings with the other dogs. He came up to the handler on several occasions to solicit affection with an open mouth and soft eyes. He remained social for the rest of his time in the yard. BEHAVIORALLY OK FOR PUBLIC ADOPTION, ADULTS (REQ), CALM DOGS (REC), MEDIUM ENERGY Sadly, though, Barkley is at immediate for euthanasia due to lack of space and high intake.
