Barney

Cockapoo Β· Male Β· Young Β· 2 years

Everyone meet our next resident ….. Barney!πŸ’š Barney is 11 months old and came in to our care due to the family being unable to meet his needs. Sadly there was a child in the home with additional needs too who was rough with Barney at times, so this was for Barneys safety. 🐢 This lad is a Cockerpoo however, he is very much like a poodle in many ways. Since arriving in our care he has loved having all the attention. He is a very active lad and loves to be on the go!πŸ’™ Barney is great with dogs, good at travelling, happy around all people and could live with dog savvy children. He is a super bright lad with a big future ahead of him.🫢🏻 He is house trained and can use a crate. In foster he isn’t using one and so is happy either way. Barney is good at the groomers (due to his breed he will need regular grooming) as well as the vets!πŸ™Œ At the vets, he had a full health assessment, he is up to date with vaccinations, flead, wormed, microchipped and now booked in to be neutered. βœ”οΈ This lad has really sore ears due to them not being treated so he’s going to have deep clean when under anaesthetic. He will soon feel a lot better and be out of pain!β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή Please do share this lad so he can have a life full of adventures and love!🐾 Remember to complete the form below if you’re interested in adoption;

About Barney

What life with Barney looks like

Barney is a large young adult cockapoo dog waiting at Almost Home Dog Rescue in North Wales.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible β€” a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Barney, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Barney?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Barney on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Barney if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Almost Home Dog Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Barney already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Barney isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Almost Home Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Barney and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
