Hi, I'm Barney

About me

I’m the tenacious terrier who’s never happy than when I can play with my favourite tug toys. I’m the kind of chap who can never sit still and I’m always looking for new toys to play with. I’m happy learning new things but you have to know, everything comes with a price, and for me that’s my favourites, cheese and hotdogs! I’m not great at meeting new folks, and it takes a while for me to get to know you, but once we’re better acquainted you better be ready to play tug of war!

Why I need sponsoring

I found myself here at Dogs Trust Merseyside when my owner had to give me up because of my guarding issues, if I’ve chewed it, that means I own it, and I like to chew a lot of things! I’m not keen on new people and it takes people a while to gain my trust. Once we get to know each other better I can relax and I’m very playful. My carers here are helping me learn to be better with sharing my things around humans and other dogs.

How sponsorship works

1
Pick a dog to sponsor

Choose a dog who reminds you of a beloved pet, or a dog with a story that tugs simply at your heartstrings. Or why not sponsor both?

Choose your sponsor dog
2
Set up your sponsorship

Tell us how much you'd like to give and whether you want to give monthly or annually. For gift sponsorships we'll just need to know who to send doggy updates too.

3
Enjoy regular updates from your Sponsor Dog

As well as the exclusive sponsorship welcome pack you, or your giftee, will receive updates from your chosen sponsor dog three times a year.
