The Stamford pet of the week is Barley, a German shepherd and Rhodesian Ridgeback mix available for adoption at Stamford Animal Care & Control Shelter. Barley is a friendly companion with an easygoing personality. Barley loves nothing more than exploring the outdoors. If you want a companion to take hiking, he’s your boy.

Barley would do best in a single-pet household but with proper training could be happy anywhere. His mellow demeanor makes him ready for a house with children. After being neglected by his previous family, Barley needs to see the positive things in his life.

For more information on Barley, call the Stamford Animal Care & Control Shelter at 7, by or visit Outreach To Pets in Need.
