Barney - Our Beautiful Senior

Belgian shepherd (tervueren) gold sable, 9 years young, "barney" was rescued from renbury farm in sydney on the day he was to be put down. Alison informed us at 1100am and by 1300 he was in the van on his way to grafton just in time. Thanks to alison, tanya from save a shepherd and dogmovers for enable this beautiful life to be saved. Barney is a gorgeous natured boy, very friendly, good with kids & other dogs, loves to have human and other animal company around which is the reason why his owner has surrendered him as family circumstances have changed and barney is lonely and wanting to escape from his yard. Barney did have a hip operation 2 years ago which with this and older age he does according to his owner have a little arthritis. This is not at all evident as he is in a yard with 2 dane/lab puppies and a kelpie and seems to be keeping up with then well. A carer from renbury "this boy makes me laugh. . . . He loves to let people know he's around and to make sure they don't ignore him. Then if you do he makes sure the rest of the kennel block doesn't ignore him. Quite a delightful older gentleman. . . . So much so i do not understand what his owners were thinking of, by surrendering him. "
