4/11/2024 - Sweet Barney  has been doing wonderfully and is turning into a real sweetheart. Happy news, he has had no signs of parvo and will be getting his final round of vaccines next week.  If you are an   approved adopter ,  feel free to reach out to the foster.  Approved adopters  ONLY.

3/21/2024 - Our Sweet Barney arrived at his foster home on March 8th. One of 9 puppies brought into VGSR who had been dumped in the woods.  Here is the local news story:  -  https://www.wdbj7.com/2024/03/21/11-german-shepherd-puppies-rescued-after-being-abandoned-woods/?fbclid=IwAR1RccroS5f1kh-m0ClmdvHA5xt88M2GeNUwsRlVQ0yoEF8ke2PIRCFDVdw and here is a follow-up story:    https://www.wdbj7.com/2024/03/25/11-german-shepherd-puppies-recovery-after-left-woods/?fbclid=IwAR05IdiMe0ztEAcNpyEsdhZW8OytUHOg08epRKU0f8xHBKcwy7yJLmzid_8_aem_Ac6v0AloVyA5sma133yvd-sda79B_tHtBj2T5hWF28j6o0sIT-OELR0ME1008wkrQTuyGmlQcYKwUUHg7Kx7oKAV

When Barney arrived he wasn’t too sure about people and kept his distance. Over the last couple weeks he has started to pen up and you get a happy face and tail wag. A little quiet but can hold his own among the pups. Don’t let his smaller size fool you, he can hold his own among the pups. He and Buddy are a matching set black with touches of white on the toes and chest. Just adorable.

We are happy to say he is one of the lucky ones who hasn’t contracted parvo. Depending on when adopted, his new family will be responsible for his final vaccination(s), keeping him isolated (no public sidewalk walks, visiting other homes, etc.) until at least two weeks after being fully vaccinated, neutering, and basic training. We are happy to discuss further.
