**Note: Currently, Barney is in Korea, but we are looking for his forever home in Vancouver. His flight from Korea to Vancouver is scheduled for Feb 5.

Background: Barney and her mother were rescued from a city pound in Chuncheon, Korea, as part of the “Save 100 Dogs” project this winter. Since then, she has been living at our partner boarding house with other dogs, waiting for her chance at a loving home. Her mom is currently undergoing heartworm treatment, but Barny is healthy and ready to start her new life.

Personality and Socialization: Barney is a bright, affectionate, and friendly little pup with medium energy. Despite her small size, she’s fearless—even around big dogs! She gets along well with them and isn’t shy about standing her ground if they try to push her around.

This smart girl learns quickly and loves to be around people. She’s also a favorite among shelter volunteers because of her sweet and affectionate nature. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she prefers those around her size who are friendly and playful. She hasn’t been tested with cats yet.

Behaviour: Barney may not have had a lot of life experiences yet, but she’s curious, bold, and eager to learn. She handles vet visits, baths, and car rides well and is naturally well-behaved indoors. She has limited leash experience, but given her intelligence and adaptability, she’ll likely pick it up quickly.

She absolutely loves spending time outdoors and exploring with her humans, making her a great companion for someone who enjoys walks and adventures.

Health and Diet: When Barney was first rescued, she had canine coronavirus, but she has fully recovered and is now healthy and happy. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She also takes monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention to keep her in great shape.

She eats dry kibble twice a day and has shown no food allergies.

Ideal Home: Barney is an affectionate, intelligent, and loving puppy who would do well in a variety of homes. She would thrive with someone who has plenty of time to spend with her, whether they work from home or are retired. She enjoys human companionship and would be happy as an only dog or with a friendly canine sibling. Whoever adopts this sweet, smart little angel will be very lucky!
