KHTS Adopt A Pet: Barnaby, Castaic Animal Shelter (VIDEO)

Described as a “gentle soul” by shelter volunteers, 5-year-old pit mix Barnaby’s affectionate, playful personality has quickly made him a volunteer favorite at the Castaic Animal Shelter.

Barnaby first came to the shelter a few weeks ago as a stray, and has since come out of his shell with people and other dogs alike. KHTS Adopt a Pet - Barnaby

“Barnaby is what I call a love monkey,” said Paul Martinsen, a shelter volunteer. “When you sit down, he’ll just come up and nuzzle into you. He loves affection, he loves to get pet. He’s also very intelligent and very, very gentle.”

One way Barnaby enjoys bonding with shelter volunteers is by putting his head in their laps for pets and gazing up at them “with those loving eyes,” Martinsen added. 

While on walks, Barnaby enjoys greeting other dogs at the fences and sniffing while his tail wags. He has even been known to “play” with other dogs through the fence while in an outdoor pen.

The ideal adopters for Barnaby would be an active family with older children who would enjoy giving him lots of affection, playing with him and taking him out on walks or runs. 

“He is just a wonderful, wonderful dog,” Martinsen said. “Just a very, very gentle soul.”
