Barbie – Life in the Fun Lane!
6 months old | 54 lbs | Spayed Female

Barbie isn’t just a doll—she’s the whole playset! This bouncy, playful pup is packed with personality and has that classic puppy charm: full of energy, curious about everything, and just a little bit wild (in the most endearing way). She’s got big “main character energy” and is ready to be the star of your life.

At just 6 months old, Barbie is still learning her manners—she can be jumpy and mouthy when excited, but she’s super treat-motivated and already working on “sit.” With a little consistency, some tasty rewards, and a guardian who understands big puppy energy, she’s going to shine. Think of her as a blank canvas—ready for someone to help shape her into the amazing adult dog she’s meant to be.

Barbie is a social butterfly in playgroups, especially when it comes to chase games. She’s shown she can be a little overwhelmed at first with new dogs, but once she settles in, she’s off and running—literally. She could thrive with a well-matched dog buddy or be your one-and-only playmate.

Because of her size, strength, and youthful enthusiasm, Barbie is best suited for a home with large-breed experience and older, dog-savvy kids (13+). She’ll need physical and mental stimulation, positive reinforcement training, and a sense of humor (because she’s hilarious). If you’re ready to laugh, train, play, and love—a lot—Barbie is your girl!
