Barnaby

Meet Barnaby – A Big-Hearted Gentleman Looking for His Forever Home 🐾

Barnaby is a 9-year-old Dalmatian who came into our care following the very sad passing of his much-loved owner. Despite this loss, Barnaby remains a loving, happy boy who greets everyone he meets with his signature teethy grin and a wagging tail.

Barnaby adores his walks and nothing makes him happier than heading out on a “Sniffari” to explore the world through his nose – his absolute favourite pastime! He is a strong lad and can pull on the lead, so his future adopters should be prepared to continue working on his lead manners and feel confident managing his strength.

A real lovable goof, Barnaby would thrive in a family home and could live happily with older children who understand and respect his space. He is comfortable around other dogs and is keen to say hello, although he can become a little frustrated when on the lead and may bark if other dogs bark at him. With patient handling and positive guidance, this is something that can continue to be managed.

Medical Needs:
Barnaby does have some ongoing medical needs that adopters will need to take into consideration. He requires lifelong medication and monitoring. He has a history of bladder crystals and is therefore on a strict diet to help manage this condition, along with bi-annual to annual blood tests.
As a senior gent, Barnaby also experiences some age-related stiffness in his legs and receives pain relief to keep him comfortable. Additionally, he can suffer from itchy skin and allergies, for which he takes medication to help ease the discomfort.

Barnaby may be a little older, but he has so much love left to give. He’s looking for a kind, understanding home where he can enjoy his walks, indulge in plenty of sniffing adventures, and spend his days surrounded by people who adore him just as much as he’ll adore them in return.

If you’re searching for a loyal companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Barnaby could be your Perfect Match!
