- Also at Stamford Animal Shelter, is their dog-of-the-month, Barley: Barley is gentle and loyal boy who loves to ride in cars, and is content to lounge with his owner.

He'd love to meet his forever person soon so he doesn't have to go back to the shelter. He loves people, but needs a constant reminder to be friendly with other dogs. He is housebroken, up to date on shots, neutered and micro-chipped.
Barley is Pets for Patriots eligible, which entitles qualifying military professionals and veterans to discounted medical care for the life of Barley, through partner veterinarians. Contact information is available on Barley's website.
