Barbie was found by a concerned citizen, extremely emaciated at around 35 pounds, wandering in a not so great area and was taken immediately to a local vet. After seeing her deteriorated condition they took her right in and ultimately kept her nearly a month helping her to recover and improve her health. The wonderful vet staff took incredible care of Barbie and set her on the road to recovery. Despite her rough start, this “all natural” fawn girl is very happy, fun loving, submissive, sweet girl. She’s estimated to be around a year old so there have been plenty of puppy antics in her foster home. She loves a good slipper chase or anything else that belongs to her foster mom in the mornings. She also enjoys playing and tossing her toys but she has recently discovered that the most important thing to do is keep her foster mom’s backyard free of squirrels. Squirrel Patrol Barbie! Barbie is food motivated to say the least. She just can’t seem to get enough, which isn’t surprising considering how she was found. She has been putting on weight and is up close to 50 pounds, the consistent meals and extra treats certainly help. Always having a nose out for food, she does do some counter surfing. Training with her will be required which should help with decreasing this. She is crate trained, almost house trained and she is learning the basics like sit and down. Barbie has been friendly with new people on walks and has been good in the house with guests. She is waiting to find her dream house, could that be with your family?
