Recently, I rescued a dog that was going to be “euthanized” on May 11.  He is three yrs old, black/dark chocolate with a small white blaze on his chest and his name is Barley. He was said to be a Jack Russell/Lab Mix, however, he turned out to be a Patterdale Terrier(Fell Terrier) who had very little training and more than likely, was taken from his mother too soon as he had not learned all socialization manners as yet and had bitten the postal lady as she was opening Barley’s back yard gate at the same time his owner was letting him out into the fenced in back yard.  He has never bitten any one in his family including babies or cats.  He does love to chase any small animals though!  He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, wormed, on heartworm preventative and is being fed premium natural dog food. He is living in a kennel at my friends house as I have no place for him and I have a lot of rescue cats!  My friends dog kennel is also on her property which is a cat rescue too. Barley has had a dog trainer come to work with him a few times and also now has a pet sitter exercise him almost every day and both of them feel he is not an aggressive dog. They say he just needs a strong pack leader to calmly and firmly guide and train him as to what is and is not acceptable. He is a sweet, funny dog and loves to be petted and belly rubbed!  He once stayed under a deck for twelve hours after chasing a squirrel under it.  He is smart and is learning quickly. If I did not have health problems or rescue cats, I would keep him in a heartbeat.  He would love to play with other dogs but always wants to be alpha, so he needs to be supervised until he learns to play nicely with others. He has done very well with other dogs in this way.  He should not go to a home with small children or small animals other than dogs until he is trained by his new person to do as he is told by them. Critter Control would be a great job for Barley or something similar. Please contact me if you have any advice for me or if you are interested in learning more about him.
