Oh, hi! I’m Barkley! Nice to meet ya. I’m a sweet and spotted guy that loves to cuddle. I also have a bit of a silly streak. I live with a full house of roommates, another dog friend, and a few cats, and guess what? I’m good with everybody. I walk great on a leash, and I don’t mind car rides.

Rizzo, Australian terrier mix

Rizzo is a charming male Australian terrier mix currently housed at Dogs 2nd Chance.

Rizzo will get along great with other dogs. Rizzo is neutered and vaccinated. He's already house-trained.

Notes from Rizzo's caretakers:

Rizzo is a fun-loving guy. He reminds me of a toddler when it comes to the toys; wants all of them out of the box and then has the one favorite he will play with! He gets along well with other dogs and loves kids but due to his size would do best in a home with kids 8 years old and older as he tends to knock the smaller kiddos down.
