Barney

Barney's ideal home

Barney is a lively 1-year-old with a big personality and lots of love to give. He’s confident meeting new people and loves to have a fuss and cuddles. Barney is high energy and will need an active home that can provide plenty of physical exercise alongside mental stimulation to keep him happy and fulfilled. He can be a little conflicted when meeting other dogs and may show some initial frustration, though he does enjoy the company of calm walking buddies. Barney will need experienced owners who understand his needs and are committed to continuing his training, particularly around his guarding behaviours and sensitivity to wearing a harness. Our training and behaviour team will be able to support you with this.

Could you be Barney's perfect match?

Barney is looking for an adult-only home where he can be the only pet, giving him the space and consistency he needs to thrive. While he has shown some guarding over items he has picked up, with the right guidance and positive training, he has great potential to make excellent progress. Once settled, Barney can be left alone for a few hours, making him suitable for homes where someone may be out for short periods. If you’re an experienced owner ready to invest time, patience, and energy into a fun, affectionate, and spirited young dog, Barney could be the perfect companion for you.
