Barney

Hello, my name is Barney — though most of my friends call me “Sweetkins or Snugglepops”

I was born in Rhodes and came to the UK as a tiny pup with my best pal and my real brother Tucker, thanks to Auntie Lorna and Diane — two wonderful hoomans who wanted to give us a better life. Because of their devotion we found our forever family. And oh, how forever it felt. I have been cherished, loved, and adored every single day. I’ve never once gone to bed without a cuddle, or woken up without my mum smiling at me.

But sometimes love does the hardest things. Through no fault of mine or theirs, my family has had to make the heartbreaking decision to let me go through tragic circumstances. My mum has told me this isn’t because she loves me less, but BECAUSE she loves me so much. She wants me to have the future I deserve — a life full of play, joy, and waggy-tailed happiness.

Now, let me tell you a little secret about me… I absolutely *love* cuddles and I adore little people (children). Meeting kids is one of my favourite things — I’m gentle, patient, and I’ll happily flop down for a snuggle or a story. I can be a bit nervous when I meet new people for the first time, so I may take a moment to warm up, sniff hands and get my bearings. But once I know you, I’m as loving as they come — loyal, affectionate, and always ready to offer my heart (and a big, slobbery cuddle).

Leaving my special Mum breaks my heart. But she has promised me — and I believe her — that my story isn’t over. My next chapter is out there, waiting for me with open arms, kind voices, and lots of cosy laps.

There’s something else: I have a real brother who is also looking for his new home through Pointer Rescue. If there’s any chance we could stay together, two brothers side by side, it would mean the WORLD to both of us. But whether together or apart, what matters most is finding a family who will love me for the goofy, cuddle-loving sweetheart that I am.

So, if you have room in your heart (and on your sofa), maybe I could be your boy. I promise I’ll fill your days with warmth, loyalty, and love — and I’ll never, ever say no to a cuddle.

With love,
Barney 🐾💛
