About Barney

Barney was found as a stray when he was just four months old and arrived in the shelter as a feathery little puppy with the cutest ever ears. He’s slotted into the gang really well, and we’re surprised he’s not been snapped up yet.

Barney is still only a baby at around seven months old, but he’s a very good boy and would absolutely love a home where he’s treated like the little prince he is. He’s a silly, playful boy, but very serious when treats come into the equation and sits down immediately. He’s quick to learn given the opportunity and direction, and as we think he’s part spaniel, continued training to keep Barney mentally stimulated is definitely a recommendation. He is however nowhere near as bouncy and energetic as a typical spaniel, but he’s still smart!

Barney shares his kennel space with multiple other dogs at the moment and for the most part, they all get along well. Barney can sometimes be a little bit bossy like the teenager he is, but he can be quickly redirected. Although we do think that he could live with other dogs, he would also have no concerns about being the centre of attention either!

Barney would be happiest in a home outside of the of the city with access to a garden, and he would prefer a fairly active lifestyle. He has had some basic introduction to walking on the lead and he’s responded really well, but he still gets a bit spooked at strange noises or approaching cars. We think he would prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and enjoy slightly more rural surroundings. He will also need plenty of exercise, both physical and mental enrichment, to keep his clever little mind busy. He also loves a good sniff around in the dirt! As with any dog, when his needs are met he is just the happiest little soul and loves being around people.

Barney will make a great companion and would be such a good addition to a home looking for a dog they can continue training with, take on lots of adventures, and smother with all the love he’s missed out on over the last few months of his short little life.
