Barkley von Blaustein is a stunning 1-2 year old German Shepherd who pairs a sweet, affectionate nature with a delightfully fun and playful personality. Barkley thrives around people, is always eager to stay close to you, and he already knows his "sit" command while accepting treats with the gentlest manners. Out on walks, his initial excitement smooths out beautifully with calm, steady direction, making him a wonderful strolling companion who enjoys greeting and walking alongside fellow dogs. He is equally easygoing and social in doggy playgroups, happily mingling, showing potential to play, and exploring every curious corner before checking in with his human pals. With his delightful personality and medium energy, Barkley is ready to fill his new home with endless companionship and warmth. His former family turned him into the animal shelter and the only note they left was that he was a good dog. He was born with some toes missing and needs to wear a boot. It doesn’t bother him, hoping it won’t bother you!
