Barney is an absolutely beautiful boy, despite recently celebrating his 9th birthday he's still true to his spaniel ways and has plenty of spirit! Top of Barney's favourite list is definitely his toys closely followed by treats and showing off his trick skills. He's lived in a home, he's mastered his basic training and can be left for short periods.

Type of home needed

Barney is currently awaiting cruciate surgery. He is looking for someone who can care for him and give him some extra TLC and home comforts whilst he recovers from his operation. This could either be as a full adoption or a foster situation. He is currently visiting our vet regularly to help him feel more confident with handling before his operation. Barney is a project dog who will require a lot of understanding and support. Our team have already seen him progress while he has been with us and he should be a rewarding project.

More about me

Barney can have doggy walking friends, but would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He'll need an adult only home and his new family may need to visit the centre several times to bond with him first. Barney will need to be kept on lead around livestock.

How rehoming works

Thank you for your interest in Barney, who is based at Evesham. Please note this is not a reservation on this dog. To start the rehoming process you will need to go to a rehoming centre for a quick chat. Please find information below about what to expect during the rehoming process. We hope to see you soon.

The average time between visiting a Rehoming Centre and taking your new pet home is just eight days. Every circumstance is different but this brief guide lets you know what you will experience when you decide to rehome a dog from us.

The rehoming centre is your gateway to finding your new pet pooch. When you arrive at the centre you will be greeted in reception by a friendly face.

During this first visit we will take a few details from you so we know what you are looking for. You will be able to visit the dogs and we'll advise you on how to find the right dog for your circumstance and that your circumstances will work for the dog too.

We would like you to get to know your chosen dog before you take him home so, if you have any other dogs or family members, you may need to bring them along for a further visit to ensure the whole family is happy with the decision.

The fee for rehoming a dog is £150 (£140 in Ballymena due to extra dog licence fees),for puppies its £150 adoption fee plus a £45 Dog School fee but every dog is vet checked, microchipped, and neutered as well as a very cool Dogs Trust lead and collar - so we think it's a good deal!

On rehoming your new dog from Dogs Trust you can receive 4 weeks' free insurance from our partner Petplan, this covers your dog for any unexpected illnesses and injuries, for further details and to activate your 4 weeks' free trial visit the Petplan website.

So now you are ready to take your new pal home, just one more step which is a pre-adoption talk. This ensures you are aware of the responsibilities of dog ownership and reminds you that we are always here when you need us!
