First featured here a little over a year ago, Barley has found a new home with Kazuko Takao and her family in Tokyo.
“I hadn’t felt I was in a position to adopt, but I had decided I could help with ARK’s mission by fostering,” says Takao, whose first foster dog just happened to be Barley.
“He was the perfect gentleman at home — gentle, sweet, quiet — but as soon as he went to an adoption event, he would go into a frenzy of barking,” Takao recalls. “It was enough to deter most people from even looking at him.”
