  • Species: Dog
  • Rescue ID: 25-0009

Barkley is an adorable Border Collie/Lab mix, born on November 17, 2024. He spent his early weeks on a farm, living outside with his mom and siblings. This sweet boy has a loving personality and adores his humans. He also gets along wonderfully with the two Labradors with whom he currently resides.
 

Barkley is making progress with potty training and leash walking. He loves to snuggle and will happily curl up with you for some quality cuddle time. He will be available for adoption after February 20, once he has received his first set of vaccines. His new owner will need to complete his puppy vaccinations, neuter, and continue to maintain his health. Barkley will also be microchipped for safety and security.

PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING FOR OUR FLUFFIES

We can't guarantee Barkley's Parentage.

BREED :  Mother appears to be a Border Collie. His absentee Dad is assumed to be a lab/husky mix. 

SIZE:   We can NOT predict the size of these dogs.  Safe to say – 40-60 lbs.  Please don’t apply if size is a factor in your decision.  Our goal is to never have to re-home our dogs—especially because they didn’t grow to expectations.

THEY POOP AND PEE A LOT:  Be prepared. 
Typically, a puppy can control their bladder one hour for every month of age. So if your puppy is 2 months old, they can hold it for about two hours. Don't go longer than this between bathroom breaks or they're likely to have an accident.

HE WILL SHED A LOT; DO YOU HAVE A GOOD SWEEPER

IF you work away from home—you will need a patient care giver for your new addition in your absence.

Barkely absolutely need training, exercise, and commitment to grooming. 

This fluffy pup can give the right owner many wonderful years of companionship and love; but it will be a full time commitment. 

It is the responsibility of puppy adopters to continue and complete the puppy shot/maintenance protocols.  These pups have had their first puppy shot and are dewormed (you may have to continue follow up on deworming). 

Puppies will need at least two more boosters and a rabies vaccine in the coming weeks with boosters again yearly.  Your vet may recommend other vaccines in the future; such as lyme, influenza etc.  

You MUST sign a contract agreeing to have your puppy spayed/neutered at an age recommended by your veterinarian.  You must provide Haven to Home with proof of SPAY/NEUTER at an agreed upon date in the future.

ASK yourself: 

  • Can I afford to have my puppy spayed/neutered?
  • This dog may live to be 15-20 years old. Do I really want to make this possible lifetime commitment?
  • If my pet gets sick or injured can I afford the medical treatment? (In some cases this could be for the duration of my pet's life.)
  • Am I home enough to give this pet the proper attention and training that it needs?
  • What will I do with the dog if we go away on vacation?
  • Can I afford the adoption fee?
  • Can I afford the cost of monthly flea and heartworm preventative?

If you are STILL interested in adopting one of our pups :) please submit an application.  Our rescue dogs are placed in homes based on the best possible match for dog and human.
