Oliver
£80adoption fee
Cat · 2.5 years · Male
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Oliver Male aged 2 1/2 Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Oliver is a new arrival at the Barn. He is a lovely affectionate boy - unless you are a small child or a dog. These 2 things he does not like. He hasn’t lived with another cat but has brought a few home in the past so may be ok to live with another cat! Ideally Oliver would like a home with no children or dogs and plenty of space to run about outside. He is a very active cat. A rural home would be perfect.

Frank
£200adoption fee
Cockapoo · 6 years · Male
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
🏠 Rehoming Frank: Your Future Furry Companion! 🐾 Meet Frank, the lovable 6-year-old Cockapoo! Frank is a wonderful blend of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle, bringing with him an array of delightful traits that make him a fantastic companion. Known for their friendly and affectionate nature, Cockapoos are energetic, intelligent, and eager to please. Frank exemplifies these qualities, but he also has some unique needs that require an experienced owner. About Frank: - Age: 6 years - Health: Neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated - Living Situation: Frank can coexist with other dogs after a successful introduction, but he would thrive best in a home without children. - Behaviour: Frank has some guarding issues, so we’re seeking a home with experience in managing this behaviour. We’ll discuss strategies for this during a meet-and-greet. Here are some important details to consider if you're thinking about welcoming Frank into your home: 1. Commitment to Training: Frank will require a dedicated owner who is willing to continue his training with a specified trainer. This is crucial for his development and confidence. The trainer has a proven method that has worked well with Frank, and their guidance will be invaluable in helping him adapt to his new environment. 2. Building Trust: Frank is a sensitive soul who needs time and patience to build trust. He thrives on positive reinforcement and gentle interactions. It’s essential that his new owner understands the importance of creating a safe space for him to feel comfortable and secure. 3. Understanding His Past: We believe Frank may have had experiences he would rather forget. Dogs have incredible memories, and it can take a long time for them to adjust to new situations. Patience will be key in helping him overcome any past traumas and allowing him to feel at home. 4. Personalised Training Approach: Our trainer will begin with an onsite visit to your home, allowing them to assess Frank’s needs in a familiar environment. Following this visit, there will be ongoing sessions with the trainer to ensure that both you and Frank are supported throughout the training process. This tailored approach will help establish a strong bond and set the foundation for a successful partnership. If you believe you can provide the loving and understanding home that Frank deserves, please submit an application online. We’re excited to find him the perfect match! Thank you for considering giving Frank another chance at a happy life! 🐶❤️

Spice
£80adoption fee
Cat · 8 years · Male
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Spice Male aged 8 Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Spice is one of our resident chatty boys. He’s a lovely boy who loves attention. He recently had a dental so his teeth are tip top but unfortunately, he was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a heart condition. This in no way affects his day-to-day life and he takes 1 tablet a day like a trooper to keep his blood thin. A bit like us with an aspirin. He loves his food and treats and would make the best companion on your sofa. He lived with another cat before but could happily be an only cat. We don’t know how he is with dogs. If you would like to meet Spice please PM the page or apply via the website.

Myla
£200adoption fee
Cocker Spaniel · 3 years · Female
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
**PLEASE READ FULLY BEFORE APPLYING** Myla: A Spaniel to Be Your One and Only! Meet Myla, the 3-year-old Cocker Spaniel looking for a forever home where she can shine as the only pet. Myla is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped, making her ready to start her new journey with you. About Myla: - Age: 3 years - Health: Fully vaccinated and spayed - Microchipped: Yes - Ideal Home: Must be the only animal Personality and Behaviour: Myla is a delightful companion with a loving nature. However, she can be dog-reactive when out on walks. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for both Myla and her new owner, we highly recommend muzzle training. We also require any potential applications to have prior breed experience as a minimum. Myla shows lead reactivity to other dogs. She would also be suited to a more rural domestic environment, or an application where there is access to a car so that she can be walked in quieter areas. Here are some benefits of this training: - Safety First: A muzzle keeps both Myla and other dogs safe during encounters, preventing any potential incidents. - Confidence Boost: Muzzle training can help Myla feel more secure, as she learns to navigate her environment without the stress of unexpected interactions. - Positive Reinforcement: Training sessions can strengthen the bond between you and Myla, as she learns to associate the muzzle with positive experiences, like treats and praise. - Controlled Interactions: With a muzzle, you’ll have more control over her interactions, allowing you to gradually expose her to other dogs in a safe way, helping her build better social skills over time. If you’re ready to give Myla a loving home where she can be your only furry friend, please submit an application! She’s waiting for a special someone to bring her joy and companionship. Let’s help Myla find her perfect match! 🐾

He is a very sweet boy and we do feel/hope that there is someone out there that could give him the comfy sofa he deserves. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY FOR BEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THESE ISSUES.

Cody
£200adoption fee
Jack Russell Terrier · 11 years · Male
Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Meet Cody: Your Gentle Senior Companion! Cody is a charming 11-year-old Jack Russell Terrier who is now looking for his forever foster home. This senior boy deserves a loving family to share his golden years with. Cody is neutered, health-checked, vaccinated, and microchipped. As part of our permanent foster scheme, the rescue will continue to support his ongoing needs, ensuring any veterinary work is covered for him to live comfortably. Cody would thrive as the only pet in the home, as he loves being the centre of attention and soaking up all the love his foster family has to give. As an older dog, Cody would be best suited to a quiet, calm home filled with patience, care, and love. He may take a little time to settle, but once he feels safe, his gentle and affectionate nature shines through. Cody enjoys life’s simple pleasures — snoozing in a sunny spot, gentle potters in the garden, and leisurely strolls. He would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a loyal, steady companion who appreciates the quieter side of life.
