As he waited at the adoption event, Barney hoped that today was the day. The sweet shelter pup had already spent months at the\u00a0Darlington County Humane Society<\/a>\u00a0and received very little interest from adopters. But Barney wasn\u2019t giving up.<\/p>\n

Barney watched as other dogs at the event found their families and hoped he\u2019d be next. He smiled at\u00a0passersby<\/a>\u00a0and wagged his tail. But when the event came to a close, no one had noticed Barney.<\/p>\n

Humane society staff were\u00a0heartbroken<\/a>\u00a0that Barney had been overlooked once again. They gave him lots of hugs to try and cheer him up.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Barney didn\u2019t let the event get him down. He still loves people and only wants someone to love him in return.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe enjoys playing with other dogs, definitely, but Barney most enjoys time with a person,\u201d Wendy Ransome, foster coordinator for the shelter, told The Dodo. \u201cBarney is a happy, friendly and affectionate boy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ransome believes that Barney\u2019s larger size has made many adopters wary. However, she knows that to the right person the pup\u2019s size won\u2019t matter at all.<\/p>\n
