About Barney :

Barney is a 3rd old, unneutered black Labrador male. He is looking for his now home due to a change in family circumstances. He has been with his current owners since a young pup but due to unpredicted family events he has gone through some stressful situations with his owner and he has certainly picked up on his owners emotions. He has now become quite protective of her if there are any visitors to the house or whilst out on a walk. The protective behaviour displayed is barked at people. He does not display this behaviour when in kennels or when he was with his dog walker. He is great with people he knows. A new baby’s arrival in the household has caused Barney some anxiety and he has on a couple of occasions growled at the baby. For this reason we will not rehome him in a household with children or visiting children. On a walk Barney pulls on the lead, off lead in a secure field his recall has been perfect. Barney is great in the house, non destructive, housetrained, sleeps on his own bed overnight, is crated when his owner goes out and settles well in there. He also lives with a cat so is used to being around cats. He is up to date with his vaccinations, etc but he is terrified of the vets. He is muzzled for examination as a precaution. The vet has advised he is not castrated due to his sensitive temperament. His ideal new home would be The only dog No children or visiting children Could live with cats Couple or single person looking for their new best friend Adult children at home would be fine Barney will need someone willing to commit to working with a local trainer to improve his lead walking and work on any reactivity he may show. Also a new owner that can work on changing his association with the vet visits, again with the assistance of a local trainer. If you feel you are the right home for Barney please get in touch.

About Buddy:

This very handsome lad is Buddy and he will be 6 on the 1st March. Buddy is a sweet boy, full of fun and very friendly. He’s described as ‘full on’ so wouldn’t be great around little children but fine around older ones. Buddy is not good on the lead and has selective recall when off it. Buddy is an entire male. Unfortunately, around November of last year Buddy began to suffer with fits which currently, due to medication have become less frequent and it’s now a month since his last one. His insurance company has agreed to transfer his cover to his new owner. The vet feels it could be epilepsy but this isn’t a confirmed diagnosis. If you feel you could give Buddy his new home please contact a member of the team. Carole Fairhurst - 07377 215996 Gina Boyd - 07885 336439 Glenys Fryer - labrador.rescue@btinternet.com
