Our Barney Boy is an absolute stunner, and he knows it! A gorgeous Cockapoo with the typical curly coat, floppy ears and expressive eyes. But Barney is more than just a pretty face…

He came to us as a UK Surrender. His previous owners were an elderly couple who realised that they were struggling to manage Barney’s needs. He was lacking mental and physical fulfilment, so his owners decided that it was best for Barney if he found a new home with people who were better equipped to handle his needs.

Barney will need some ongoing support. We are hoping to have him rehomed locally so that his new owners can receive ongoing help from us and our trainer to ensure that he transitions well and his owners have all the information they need to ensure that Barney keeps up the good work that we have started.

After a brief settling in period, Barney has decided that we are friends and has turned on the charm. We think a new healthy raw food diet might have swayed him. He is very switched on and loves to be out, playing and making friends. He has the makings of a great family companion.

Ideally, Barney would be the only dog in the home, he has not shared indoor space with other dogs before and as such we would like his owners to maintain the training that we are putting in place to make sure that he remains calm and composed around other dogs. In his previous home, Barney was fine around visiting grandchildren and tolerated them well. We would recommend that any children who live in the home be over 12 and have some previous experience being around dogs.

We have implemented some much needed training in the form of crate training, respecting boundaries and lead walking. He is doing very well and with routine and consistency he will thrive. We would like his future owners to continue his raw diet, this is an ideal diet for him as an active dog and doesn’t leave him heavy with carbs. Barney will need a fairly active home, a nice daily walk and secure garden for some games of fetch would be ideal for him.
