About Barney

(DOB 01/05/2024) Due to Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery Barney will need surgery and our rescue will cover the cost. For this reason, he is available for adoption within a 1-hour drive time of Wake Forest NC. Barney is a small, chill sweetheart who is all about the quiet, cozy life. With his calm and laid-back personality, he's the perfect match for a retired person or couple or anyone who's home most of the time and not looking for a high-energy dog. Barney's idea of a perfect day is simple: snuggled up on the couch with his favorite person, soaking up love and giving kisses in return. This gentle boy is happy, loyal, and incredibly affectionate. He's a true lap dog who loves attention, pets, and being close to his humans. Toys don't really interest Barney; he would much rather relax beside you than play. He's social with people and other dogs, easily redirected, eager to please, and has a sweet mix of independence and devotion that makes him an easy companion. Barney could thrive in an apartment, condo, or townhome and doesn't need a fenced yard. He'd do well with other dogs around his size and similar low energy, but he'd be just as content as your one-and-only couch potato partner. Wherever he is, as long as he's with you, he's happy. Like many little dogs, Barney is still working on a few things and will need a patient, loving home. He has some separation anxiety, so a home where someone is around most of the time or wants to take him along on outings would be ideal. The good news? Barney loves car rides and is an awesome travel buddy. He's not a fan of the crate and is still improving his leash skills. He's also continuing to work on house training and will need regular potty breaks (about six times a day) to help him succeed. Barney is on the shy side when meeting strangers, so just give him a little time. If there are kids in his next chapter, they should be older, calmer kids. He has not had an opportunity to meet cats yet. He lives with his foster mom and her little doggies. If you're looking for a little, loyal, lovable companion who's happiest curled up by your side, Barney just might be your perfect match. As part of Barney's $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
