Sheltie Rescue of Central Indiana

Meet Barney!
This 3.5 yr old (best estimate) Bi-black Sheltie apparently had a rough start to his young life. He came to us from a hoarding situation, living in a stall with 4 other Sheltie guys. We don't know anything prior to that. What we do know is that he is anxious when it is time to eat and only eats in his crate as long as it is open. He is food driven enough to allow a leg tap for a cheese puff if there is no eye contact. He has learned to catch a toy and bring it back. Barney has terrible separation anxiety and has destroyed furniture in his foster home when he is left. To overcome his fears, Barney is with a trainer and seems to be making progress in order to be eligible for adoption and begin the new life he deserves.
