"Pawfice" ManagerBarley
With his sparkling blue eyes and an irresistibly goofy demeanor, this playful puppy brings joy wherever he goes. His mischievous antics often call for laughter, especially when he’s prancing around in the background of a virtual session. Despite all his energy, underneath that playful spirit lies an innate ability to comfort; he always seems to know when someone needs a warm embrace. Whenever anyone feels down, he's right there, offering hugs that soothe the soul. As he grows, his hopes remain high that this charming little pup will harness his delightful personality and compassionate nature to become a therapy dog one day.
