Meet Barry — Your New Best Friend!
Barry is a sweet and handsome 15-month-old bluenose pitbull looking for his forever home. He’s a friendly, social boy who has been around multiple dogs and does well with them.
With his moderate energy level, Barry loves a good walk or playtime, but he’s just as happy lounging with you once he’s had his exercise. He’s still young and eager to learn, so a home that can give him consistent training, love, and structure will help him thrive.
Barry’s Details:
• 15 months old, male (not neutered)
• Social with other dogs
• Moderate energy — great mix of playful & chill
• Healthy, up-to-date on shots, will be neutered before being rehomed.
Ideal Home:
Barry would do best with someone who understands large, strong breeds and can continue his training. A secure yard or active lifestyle would be a bonus.
Currently in Santa Clarita — willing to travel within a reasonable distance for the right home.
