A4786970 Barkley is a lovebug of a 10-year-old blonde-and-brown neutered male Old English Sheepdog mix who was found in Whittier and brought to the Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on Christmas Eve. Weighing 49 lbs, this big teddy bear’s appearance will undergo a complete 180 once he’s been bathed and groomed. We think that under all this unkempt hair is a Prince Charming. And he’s a sweetheart of a prince: non-reactive to other dogs, walks easily on leash, loves belly rubs and affection, and has a low energy level that makes him a great couch and walking buddy. Barkley’s signs of senior-citizen status include a few too many pounds (he’s a chunky monkey), possible cataracts, dental issues—all of which call for the usual trip to the vet once he’s out of the shelter. He’ll do best as an indoor pet and companion for an individual or family who wants to bring Barkley’s handsome self back into the limelight and make sure that the rest of his senior years are truly golden, loving, and comfortable for him.
