Say hello to Barrett, an 80-pound sweetheart with a heart as big as his paws! At 5 years old, this calm and composed German Shepherd is the total package. He’s a dog lover through and through—getting along beautifully with dogs big and small. Cats? Barrett couldn’t care less. And while we always advise supervision, we believe he'd be just fine with respectful children thanks to his easygoing nature.

Barrett is incredibly gentle—he doesn’t jump up on people or furniture, and he's happy just being near his humans. He’s leash-trained and a dream to walk. Smart and eager to please, Barrett would thrive in a home where he can be loved and appreciated for the amazing companion he is.

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, loyal, and loving buddy, Barrett might just be your perfect match. Come meet this handsome guy—you’ll fall in love instant

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed!
