Beautiful Barney, also known as Barney Rubble, was rehomed but has sadly been returned to All Animals Rescue & Rehoming in Essex due his owner passing away suddenly. It’s so sad that he has to endure more upheaval in his life, especially for an older boy. Barney is a gorgeous, happy little lad that so desperately needs a forever home and family to grow up with.
Barneys is a gorgeous white/brindle Whippet Cross who weighs 20kg and is approximately 8 years old. He was saved from the Chinese meat market and the treatment the dogs get and the things they have seen is nothing short of hell. Barney is one of the lucky ones who came to the U.K. to find his forever home. There are no animal welfare laws in China so no dog is ever safe there, which is why the dogs are sent overseas to be rehomed, to make sure they are safe and loved for life.
On arrival, Barney was quite overwhelmed, but it didn’t take him long to attach himself to his rescuers; he had a 14-hour flight followed by a few hours’ drive and all he wanted was to have a snuggle. It’s very easy to fall in love with this adorable little lad. He is ready for his future, away from the horrors of the Chinese meat market.
On arrival, Barney had a dental and needed to have 7 teeth removed; he won’t need any further routine medical work. He is fit as a fiddle and what a diva he has now become. He is quite literally amazing, he will snuggle with you every opportunity he gets and it’s adorable! So calm and well-behaved, definitely the perfect home is waiting patiently for a dog just like him.
Barney is always so happy to see you, he will literally throw himself at you for a cuddle, he really is the sweetest little lad. He will steal your bed and your heart. He is strikingly beautiful and gets compliments wherever he goes which, of course, he is happy to lap up.
Barney is dog friendly with all size dogs and, as long as he is comfy, that’s all he really cares about. He is a real couch potato of a dog and he is very quiet. As much as he will walk for miles, he takes some convincing to get out of bed or off the sofa, particularly if it’s cold or wet – and who can blame him? He certainly loves to snuggle with the other dogs, but even better, his humans; he is a real snuggle bug.
Barney is fantastic on the lead and is a work in progress off-lead; everything is new to him and he is particularly captivated by low flying birds which he would never have seen before. Sometimes he watches them, other times he will chase.
Barney will do anything for food or a cuddle. He would love a family to play with him and keep him occupied. He loves a walk and to greet everyone he meets. He is house-trained and non-destructive, happy to be left snoozing on the sofa by himself. He absolutely adores other dogs so could happily live with a companion and can also live with children aged 13 years plus.
Barney is neutered, microchipped, flea/worm treated. He was also tested for rabies and Brucella prior to entering the country.
