About Barney

There is never a dull moment with Barney around; he will either be doing something silly to make you laugh, bouncing around the yard, or trying to cuddle up as close as possible to you. 🧸
Barney sometimes sleeps in funny positions like “the starfish”, or sleeps with his tongue hanging out. He is full of personality! 🤪
When watching a movie on the couch, Barney loves to cuddle up next to his humans as close as possible! Despite his size, Barney definitely thinks of himself as a lap dog. 📺
Barney enjoys playing chasey and tug of war with his foster sister, who is a medium sized female dog. 💪
Barney loves to spend time in the backyard playing with all of his toys like balls, tug ropes, and squeaky toys. Barney has a funny habit of taking all the toys into one corner of the yard and stashing them in a big pile, then sitting next to them as if to show off his achievement! He is always making us laugh. 🥎

Adoption details
We list animals for adoption on Pet Rescue as well as on our own Animals-in-Need-Brisbane website. We talk with people who contact about an animal to see what their needs and situation are. Our emphasis is on getting the right animal for the people and the right people for the animal. If everyone's needs are met things usually work out well.
If the situation sounds good we arrange a meeting. If all goes well we let people try the animal out for a couple of weeks to ensure that everyone is happy.
We keep records of all adopters, follow up to ensure all is well and undertake to take back any animal if circumstances change.
