Description
Gentle Chocolate Labrador Looking for His Forever Home
Name: Barney
Breed: Labrador Retriever (Chocolate)
Age: 5 years old (turns 6 in October)
Sex: Male (intact)
Meet Barney, a sweet, gentle chocolate Labrador who loves nothing more than cuddles, playing with his toys, and going for walks in the countryside. He’s a loving boy with a really sweet nature.
Barney was rehomed to me earlier this year, but unfortunately, I wasn’t made fully aware of the extent of his anxiety and despite my very best effort, love, and a stable routine, it’s become clear that my busy family home isn’t the right environment for him, and with his best interests in mind, I’m now looking to find him a quieter, more suitable forever home.
🐾 About Barney:
* Great with other dogs (loves playing with his friends when they visit) and has lived with cats happily.
*Fine with children, but due to his size, a home with older experienced kids would be best.
*Very loving, enjoys his crate as a safe space but also loves cuddles on the sofa.
*Loves being outdoors, especially long walks in nature and paddling in the river.
*Up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatment (next few treatments provided)
*Comes with a large bag of his food, toys, teddies, blankets, crate, Julius K9 harness, collar, and leads etc…everything you could need.
🧠 Things to Know:
*Barney struggles with being left alone and finds busy, noisy households overwhelming. He needs a calm, understanding home with either: Someone around most of the time, or
A calm, confident dog companion to help him feel secure.
*Ideally, you’ll have experience with Labradors (or similar large breeds) and live in a quiet, semi-rural or rural home where Barney can fully relax and thrive. Patience, routine, and reassurance will be key.
*Barney is a truly wonderful boy who deserves a home that understands his needs and can offer the peaceful, structured life he’s been missing.
💌 I’d love to stay in touch with his new owners, he’s very special to me, and I just want to see him happy and settled and no longer looking worried all the time.
If you think you could be the right match for Barney, please get in touch and tell me a little about your home and experience. He won’t be going to just anyone, his new home needs to be his forever one.
