Barney

Male · Adult · 4 years

Barney originally came from another rescue who could not provide him with what he needed. He has then spent the last few months in a sanctuary set up where he has blossomed and done really well. He is now ready to find a new home. Barney is a clever and extremely affectionate boy. He greets everyone with joy and will happily sit on the lap of anyone or go for a walk with anyone. Barney walks quite well on the lead and on a long line. He is a terrier so he doesn’t go off lead out and about but goes off in secure fields/areas and when there’s no distractions his recall is good. Barney is clean in his kennel once he knows his routine. He is completely not destructive and can be left for a few hours without making a noise or any issue providing the environment is relatively calm. He is a busy little terrier, likes a scent but also enjoys home comforts so he would benefit from an active home but he still wants to be a pet. He has no food or toy reactivity, although he likes both he’s not possessive even over high value items. Barney is anxious of other dogs so can appear reactive if he’s worried and doesn’t like dogs in his face but he copes well with dogs that ignore him. He finds dogs overwhelming unless he knows they are ok. Barney has visited pubs and cafes, where he was great but he will bark at other dogs he sees pass through a window but that only appears to be in these situations. We think he would definitely improve on these things with a little more practice and guidance. Barney has several walkers and has met lots of people and we’ve never seen a negative reaction to any. Very young kids might be overstimulating for him but he may be able to live with older, terrier savvy children. He’s a really sweet boy, just needs that active ‘terrier’ family, he will walk and walk and walk. He’s a really endearing dog Scroll through the gallery of images above or click to open Not ready to adopt? Please donate to help the pets in need today.
