Barney

Greyhound · Female · Young · 3 years

Fully Vaccinated, Neutered & Microchipped Barney is a handsome fawn Greyhound. DOB 23.08.2023. He is 3 years old and is now looking for his loving forever home. Barney is a lovely boy who is just beginning to discover the world beyond kennel life. As an ex-racing Greyhound, he has lots of new sights, sounds and experiences to get used to, and he will need time, patience and reassurance as he finds his paws. Barney has already enjoyed some outings with our wonderful volunteers. Uncle Paul took him for a walk around the park, where Barney was a little nervous of his surroundings, particularly the traffic. However, he was able to get up close to some little dogs without any problems, which is encouraging as we continue to learn more about him. Aunty Fiona also took Barney for a lovely outing to a local dog field. Despite the wind and heavy rain, Barney was fascinated by everything around him and enjoyed watching the world go by during the car journey. Once at the field, he jumped straight out of the car and set about exploring all the new sights, sounds and smells. The open space was a little overwhelming for him at times, so he stayed close to Aunty Fiona, clearly appreciating having someone nearby to reassure him. When the rain became too much, Barney was more than happy to hop back into the car! He had needed a little help getting into the car at the start of the outing, but by the end he was confident enough to jump back in by himself. These little steps forward are lovely to see. Barney can be a little nervous when experiencing unfamiliar situations, but he benefits from patience and reassurance. He will need a family who understands that the world is still very new to him and who will allow him to settle at his own pace. Barney has shown encouraging signs around smaller dogs, having approached some without any problems during his walk with Uncle Paul. However, we are still getting to know him, so any introductions to other dogs will need to be managed carefully. His suitability for living with another dog will need to be assessed. Barney cannot live with cats. Barney will need a loving home with a secure garden, where he can enjoy a quieter life and continue to build his confidence. Moving from kennels into a home will be a big change, so he will need understanding, consistency and plenty of reassurance while he adjusts to his new surroundings. Barney is a very handsome boy with the world still waiting to be discovered. With a patient and loving family to guide him, we hope to see his confidence blossom and his lovely personality shine through.
