🚩 ADOPTION BY DONATION 🚩
Meet Barney, Barney is very food orientated and loves lots of different food and treats, this is good for training purposes. He also love soft things like blankets and toys to keep him cosy.
Barney is more fearful of men and therefore a female orientated household would be best for him. He is a very independent boy who enjoys his own company and is happy to keep himself company, he can however be a nervous boy and needs human reassurance to teach him the world isn't a scary place.
Barney would need a quieter home with minimal visitors and someone able to continue building up his confidence with this. Barney is a lot more confident on walks and although nervous he will be able to be around people more comfortably.
Barney accepts a collar, harness and lead. He can pull slightly on the lead due to excitement however generally he walks very well. He can sometimes be spooked by dogs behind him or people in front and will freeze however with encouragement he will continue, he can also be known to chew the lead so he will need to be kept double leaded at all times to keep him safe. Dogs can make him nervous and he will need continued work on this, he is generally his best self while out on a walk and enjoys this lots. Barney enjoys his walks and will sit patiently to have his lead out on however he does prefer being home and cosy.
Barney can be very nervous around dogs while on walks however he has previously enjoyed their company and seemed to gain confidence from them.
He could share his home with a calm, confident dog who can help build his confidence and show him the way however he would need slow and sensible introductions so he doesn't become overwhelmed.
Barney cannot live with cats and has been known to chase birds and cats on walks.
Barney has never been around children, due to his nervous nature it is felt he would prefer a child free home or with children 14+ following slow and sensible introductions.
Barney can show guarding behaviours around items he likes within the home such as rugs and couches. He will need firm clear boundaries in his home and someone able to work on this with him. He should not have access to furniture to ensure he doesn't feel the need to guard this.
Barney is toilet trained and crate trained. He isn't destructive within the home however can chew his own toys and destroy them and has chewed hole in his blanket. When barney first arrived he could also be a cheeky boy and steal items within the house, this could be cups, towels etc however he never destroyed them. He can be left alone for long periods of time with no issues and prefers his isolated time. He is also fine overnight and is very quiet with no issues.
