Hello, I'm Tank

So Barry is a full blown Zoomer but we manage with lots of backyard fetch. In fact, he's quite athletic and we discovered he can leap like a deer, so we're currently looking into installing an agility course for him!

Tank's Story

Hello!! Thank you for reaching out, I'm happy to share an update with you.


Our new family member, who we have named Barry, is an awesome pup!!! We decided on this name for two reasons: 1) he is such a kind and gentle dog that Tank just didn't fit him; and 2) his dad wanted to give him a human name but I wanted to give him a cute name (you know, like snuggles or lollipop), and Barry hit both those markers for us (I call him my raspberry, my blueberry, and he's Barry sweet and a Barry good dog). Barry has many fur friends in our neighborhood, so each walk he gets to check out if they are outside and interested in sniffing and playing. He also has three for cousins of all sizes, and he gets along with all of them!! Barry is being crate trained, he's called his barking, is potty trained and has improved on overall manners significantly! He gets very rambunctious at night, which his vet calls 'a case of the zooms.' So Barry is a full blown Zoomer but we manage with lots of backyard fetch. In fact, he's quite athletic and we discovered he can leap like a deer, so we're currently looking into installing an agility course for him!
Honestly, we are so proud of our little guy and couldn't have asked for a better boy. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for matching us - our family is complete ❤️
