“Barbie has been pure joy and entertainment since the day she arrived! She was instantly best friends with our resident pup and constantly makes us laugh with her goofy personality!

She is just amazing and ready to bring the same love and joy to her forever family.”

Story
Now, back in the day, FBRN’s Barbie was quite in demand! She was a bit of a looker; gentlemen suitors were frequent….so Barbie had lots of litters of beautiful pups! Now those days are behind her, and she’s ready to find her forever home where she will be pampered and adored.
Barbie enjoys all of the attention, lots of loves, plenty of belly rubs, and being the queen of the crowd. She can easily fit into the group, as long as she is the star! I mean, who doesn’t enjoy being the center of attention? Barbie enjoys her queen status, but she does need a pal. She gets along fabulously with the Boston terrier in her foster home, but she tends to be a bit defensive around larger dogs. She can also be a bit bossy when others try to get near her food, so she must be monitored when food or toys are present. Her forever family should commit to slow introductions to their resident dog as well as separate feeding areas so that everyone is set-up for success.
When it comes to people, Barbie gets along with everyone! Although, she can be a bit pushy for affection. She enjoys long daily walks, loves snuggle sessions and chewing on an occasional bone or toy. Bonus points for letting her cuddle and chew on a toy at the same time!
Barbie is crate trained and potty trained, but she is not fond of going potty on leash. She also enjoys a good sunbathing session, so we think a fenced-in yard would be ideal in her forever home. But more importantly, Barbie needs a forever family who will keep up with her daily ear cleaning and allergy routine. Because she went so long without proper care, she has some growths in her ears. They are a bit unsightly, especially for such a pretty girl, but thankfully, those growths have not stopped her from hearing completely.
An ideal home is one that has a lot of love to give and someone who is home often to lavish attention on Barbie (and keep those ears clean!). Another small dog who is more submissive would be an ideal pal, especially while the humans are away. While Barbie has never been to an office, she’s willing to give it a try if it means she gets to be with her person!
Here are a few words from her loving foster family, “Barbie has been pure joy and entertainment since the day she arrived! She was instantly best friends with our resident pup and constantly makes us laugh with her goofy personality! The two of them run around the house and play almost constantly. She is perfectly crate trained and will sometimes put herself to bed at night if she’s ready. She is just amazing and ready to bring the same love and joy to her forever family.”
If Barbie sounds like your perfect match, please send in an application and tell us more! Until then, Barbie will be lounging in the sunny state of Arizona – you’re welcome! It’s even the perfect state for a road trip in January!
FBRN does not ship dogs as cargo, so adopters are expected to pick up their dogs from their foster family.
FBRN dogs are in foster care in people’s private homes. For the foster families’ safety, we do not disclose specific locations, and we don’t set up meet and greets prior to applications. For detailed information about the dogs in our care, please read the extensive bios on each dog.
About Barbie
Barbie has impaired hearing as a result of chronic ear infections, so her ears must be cleaned daily and monitored for recurrence.
Barbie is a resource guarder so must never be around small children. She must be monitored during feeding and when toys are present. A slow intro is required if there are other dogs in the home.
