Barney is a beautiful young Bichon who is looking for a very special, patient home where he can learn that the world is a safe and kind place. He is around 7 months old

Barney is nervous of new people and unfamiliar environments. He has had very little socialisation so far, and when he feels overwhelmed or frightened he will often freeze and lie flat on the floor. Despite this, Barney really does want to be friends – his fear just gets in the way right now. With time, understanding, and gentle encouragement, he has the potential to blossom.

At home, Barney does get excited to see his people and will jump on his back legs with excitement. He is currently scared of being touched but will allow it, but food is a big motivator for him and will be a great tool in building trust and confidence. Deep down he loves the fuss and he has come out of his shell and has a cheeky side to him. He will need slow, positive lead training, as the outside world is currently very daunting for him.

Barney is fine with other dogs, another confident dog may do him the world of good. He loves his food and treaties. Grooming is essential for him

Barney is not a “ready-made” dog, but for the right person, helping him come out of his shell will be incredibly rewarding. If you can offer him the time, patience, and gentle love he needs, Barney could become a wonderful companion.

A very sweet boy with a cheeky side ready and waiting to come out for the right patient home
