Hi, I'm Barney

About me
I’m the tenacious terrier who’s never happier 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.
I love
Hotdogs • Cheese
I really don't like
The vet • Rain!
How sponsorship works
It couldn't be easier to sponsor a dog in our care, or to gift a sponsorship to a friend or loved one.
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?
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.
Enjoy regular updates from your Sponsor Dog
Once you’re signed up, you’ll receive regular updates from your chosen sponsor dog. We’ll also send you a sponsorship pack, including a special photo certificate of your new bestie, photo postcards, a window sticker and a fridge magnet.
