Meet our 1 year old Chi mix Downey.
Downey weighs about 13 lbs and is a body & soul full of love to share.
He loves people, especially his own people. He warms up to others very quickly and loves attention and a lap to sit on.
He loves to play, snooze, play and snooze. He likes to play with both people, dogs and his favourite toys.
He is social with small furry friends, but he's more hesitant around bigger dogs.
He would do well in a home with another small dog, or no dogs. Downey is also doing very well with his potty training, and as long as you let him out often enough, he won't have accidents inside.
Downey is overall a very smart, affectionate and loving little boy. He deserves a calm and patient home that will wrap around him and make him feel the love and safety he finally deserves.
Downey is being fostered in Gibson's on the Sunshine Coast, if you'd like to meet him, please fill out our adoption application form on our website.

Bolek along with his brother Lolek all of a sudden found themselves in a scary shelter, and was quickly put on the euthanasia list for being nervous/unsocial. Little did they know they were about to live their happily ever after in Canada.

Meet our cutie Terrier Bolek,
Bolek along with his brother Lolek all of a sudden found themselves in a scary shelter, and was quickly put on the euthanasia list for being nervous/unsocial. Little did they know they were about to live their happily ever after in Canada.
So far we've learnt that Bolek is a curious young pup!
Aside from his full time job as a sniffing machine, he enjoys snuggling with his brother and the closest human in reach. Bolek loves attention and he really enjoys being sang to!
As a stray, toys are a foreign object, but with time, his playful nature will take its course! While his brother is slightly more patient, Bolek is still learning to play with cats. He shows no signs of any aggression towards felines, he is simply just learning the species boundaries.
Like all dogs, Bolek requires an attentive owner willing to snuggle (a lot), play and show this ex-stray a life he has always deserved.
Bolek is 3 years old and weighs 15 lbs.
If you'd like to meet Bolek, please fill out our adoption application on our website.

Reed once had a home, one rainy day he all of a sudden found himself all alone in a strange neighbourhood. His family was gone. Our rescue partner came to his rescue and found him soaking wet shivering in the rain. He was so scared, but he was also very hungry and could not resist the hotdogs in the trap. He walked in, and that was his last day of uncertainty and being left behind.
Reed has been scarred like anyone would being abandoned by their owner in a cold and strange world. He is slowly learning to trust his fosters, but he already is showing how much he wants to be loved. He loves being pet, held and loved, it just takes him some time to trust if he's not familiar with you.
Reed would do best in a home with a small dog, or no dogs. No kids for Reed, as he prefers the calm and quiet.
He will love and trust, if you can give him the time, love and care he needs.
Reed is 1 years old and weighs 11 lbs.

Meet our tiny boy, Beans.
Beans was found living out on the street. He was just skin and bones, and extremely dirty. He was also so frightened, but even being petrified at one point and nervous to start with new people, he's never shown anything, but gentleness and love.
Beans is about 7 years old, and is as tiny as they come, weighing just 10 lbs. He has some weight and confidence to gain, and his foster dad is doing an excellent job at helping him with improving both.
Beans is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready for his forever home.
We believe Beans would thrive in a quiet, loving home where he will have time, patience and endless love to help him find back to his confident and relaxed self.
If you'd like to meet little Beans, please fill out the adoption application on our website.
Ruru gets to live her happily ever after with her foster family, now forever family! Happy Tails to our miracle dog Ruru.

Ruru gets to live her happily ever after with her foster family, now forever family! Happy Tails to our miracle dog Ruru.
Ruru has a very sad and challenging story, and the one who will be so lucky to adopt her, will get a dog who will need A LOT of love, care and patience for the rest of her life.
Ruru was born in a hoarding house with 40+ dogs. She then went on to have litters of puppies, living in filth and just inhumane conditions. On June 22nd, animal control came and picked up all the dogs, and they ended up at Riverside shelter. There they sat frightened, listening to hundreds of other dogs bark all day and night long.
Some got adopted, but Ruru was still sitting in her kennel 2 months later waiting for someone to rescue her. She ended up on the red list, and that's the last list you make it too at the shelter, and it means you're cleared for euthanasia.
When we saw her shelter picture, and heard her story, we called the shelter immediately and said we want to save her, and from there Ruru made it out and is now a member of Barney's Furry Friends Rescue.
She arrived on August 20th in Coquitlam, and was terrified when she arrived. She had sat still in the shelter for 2 months, and then 2 weeks of boarding, no wonder she was scared. We also found out she had a litter just before she was taken in to the shelter, so this poor sweet mama has been through way too much in her life so far.
The good news is: she is safe, and she is now being loved and nurtured back to life by her wonderful foster parents and their dog Molly. She is still scared, especially by loud noises. No wonder.. Listening to constant barking for 2 1/2 months in a strange place, will affect you.
Ruru's ideal home would be with another dog, as she loves other dogs, and need that safety net to help her continue to learn to be a happy dog in a normal, loving and caring home.
Ruru's owner will have to be very patient with her, giving her time to continue to blossom, and know that she has had a very rough life, and she is going to take some work, but oh my will it be worth it. Dogs like Ruru will blow your mind in how they transform, and definitely be worth every effort.
If you'd be interested in meeting this sweet girl, please fill out the application on our website, and you will hear back from us!
Ruru is being fostered in Coquitlam.

Lolek all of a sudden found himself in a scary loud shelter, and didn't know exactly how to react except showing he was scared to be there. He was quickly euth listed along with his brother Bolek, but little did they know their happily ever after would soon be in Canada.
Lolek - the epitome of gentleness wrapped in fur. This affectionate boy adores kisses, snuggles, and belly rubs during nap time.
Lolek is a quick learner, mastering commands like "no" and "stay" with impressive speed. Despite his messy beginnings, he now dines with the elegance of a royal dinner guest at the Palace with the late Queen’s Corgies.
Although he currently shares his home with two cats, Lolek's respectful nature makes him a perfect companion for both feline and canine friends alike.
Lolek is 3 years old and weighs 13 lbs.

Copper was abandoned by his owner, and ended up in a high kill shelter, where he was quickly euth listed for being scared.

Meet our sweetest boy Copper!
Copper was abandoned by his owner, and ended up in a high kill shelter, where he was quickly euth listed for being scared.
When Copper first arrived in Canada he was very afraid, after only three days he is starting to come out of his shell and show his sweet, and playful personality.
He is doing so well walking on the leash and loves to look at the cats and bunny’s in our neighbourhood or the other dogs walking by. On the nice sunny days he finds his spot right in the sun soaking up the warmth.
Copper is a very quiet guy and we have not heard him bark at all yet. He has gotten along perfectly with his foster sister and is learning a lot of his confidence from her! He does not chase our cats, rather he loves to watch them so he would do great with another animal in the house!
We are seeing major improvements every day with this little guy and we can’t wait to see how he will flourish in his forever home.
Copper would do best in a quiet home, with someone who has the time, love and patience to let him come out of his shell and learn to trust again. He would love another doggie friend, as we believe he'd learn a lot by having another dog by his side.
If you'd like to meet Copper, please fill out the adoption application on our website.
Meet Mama Missy,
Little Missy was abandoned in her own home along with 5 other dogs. She then ended up in the shelter, where she was quickly added to the euth list for being nervous and scared. Little did she know she'd soon find herself on her way to Canada to BFF.

Meet Mama Missy,
Little Missy was abandoned in her own home along with 5 other dogs. She then ended up in the shelter, where she was quickly added to the euth list for being nervous and scared. Little did she know she'd soon find herself on her way to Canada to BFF.
Shortly after Missy arrived we found out she was pregnant, and just 2 weeks later she gave birth to 4 beautiful babies.
Now her babies have found their forever homes, and Missy is ready to find hers.
Missy has been very busy taking care of her babies, and we can't wait to find her a home where she can decompress and finally just be the only dog to be loved and taken care of.
Missy would do best in a household without kids, and as the only dog as we think she really craves that one on one connection with her human. Someone who's around more than gone would also be preferred.
Missy is about 2 years old and weighs 12 lbs. She's very cuddly, and loves to sleep with her human. Missy hasn't gotten a lot of outdoor time yet, so she's a little unsure of what it's all about, and will need a patient, caring dog parent who can lead the way and show her that the outside is just as good as the inside of her home.
If you'd like to meet Mama Missy, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Little Dale along with his 3 other siblings was born on Feburary 25th this year.
His mom was abandoned in California, and then ended up in the shelter. She was very nervous and was quickly euth listed. Soon she found herself on her way to Vancouver BC.
Little did we know mama, named Missy by her foster mom, was pregnant. 2 weeks after arrival, Missy gave birth to 4 beautiful puppies.
Dale is the runt of the litter, and will probably be on the smaller side. Missy is 15 lbs, so he's expected to be no bigger than that when he's fully grown. Dale was the first one of the litter mates who figured out how to navigate the floor, and get out of the playpen. He seems to be quite clever, and brave too!
He is like puppies most, loves to play, eat, snuggle and repeat.
If you'd like to meet the little boy, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet our beautiful Queen Luna!
Luna found herself
Luna is a beautiful girl (best breed guess: lab-pittie mix) with a heart as golden as the colour of her fur! She is about 2-3 years old and currently weighs about 45 lbs. She is up to date on all of her vaccinations, and will be spayed shortly (she appears to have already been a mom at some point in her past).
Luna is trusting and gentle with all of the people she's met and simply wants to be where the humans are. She is perfectly content to hang out and have a quiet day at home, but is also game for any fun adventure that comes her way (she crossed the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge with no fear)! Luna is very dog social - on walks she will whine and pull a bit when she sees other pups that she can't say hello to.
She would make a great second dog, but would also be perfectly happy with social time at the dog park!
She hasn't been officially tested with cats, but didn't seem bothered by the vet clinic cat. She would likely be fine with feline friends. Luna has demonstrated no aggression and limited prey drive.
Luna is great in the car, usually just laying down on the back seat, or curled up in the front passenger seat. She is respectful of the foster home and shows no interest in jumping onto furniture (even when invited) - her comfy dog bed is her happy place!
Luna sleeps through the night on her bed without making a peep until her foster mom wakes up. Luna is 100% house broken and hasn't had any accidents since arriving in Canada.
She is being fostered in an apartment and has adjusted smoothly to elevators, stairs and all the sights and sounds of this living environment. Luna's foster mom simply can't say enough good things about how fantastic of a dog she is. Her sweet, gentle disposition shines through every day and it's a joy to see her confidence and personality bloom. She will have so much love to give to her very lucky forever family!
If you'd like to meet Queen Luna, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet Tansy, the sweetest little girl with a heart full of love and a wagging tail ready to greet you!
Tansy is searching for her forever home, where she can share cuddles, walks, and tummy rubs with her new family.

Meet Mr. Donovan! He was rescued from a truck dealership parking lot just off of the highway where he was abandoned by his previous family.

Meet Mr. Donovan! He was rescued from a truck dealership parking lot just off of the highway where he was abandoned by his previous family. There he sat day in and day out, waiting for them to come back, but they never did. That’s when our amazing rescue partner Suzette and her team came in and saved this precious boy.
Donovan is 13 pounds and estimated to be around 2 years old. He made his way to Canada on March 17th and is looking for his furever family.
Donovan is a cautious, sweet little doggo who will take a little bit to open up but when he does, he is the biggest love bug. He lives for being close to his humans for cuddles and loves a good belly rub.
Throughout the day, he is comfortable enough going to take a nap on the couch or relax somewhere, sometimes checking on what you’re doing, other times doing his own thing. Currently he is sleeping on the bed in a little ball, but would likely be comfortable sleeping on his dog bed or in his crate, as he does spend chunks of his day resting in there.
Donovan loves to be outside and sniff things. He especially loves finding little holes he can shove his nose into! He is pretty good on leash and is learning to stay on one side when walking.
He is excited to find a family who will love him and cherish his sweet personality and cute little underbite!

He loves long walks and is very social - he wants to say hi to every person and dog he sees. He sleeps through the night on his own with no issues, and uses the bathroom outside.
He also knows basic commands and is a quick learner! It’s hard not to fall in love with this little guy. His forever family is going to be so lucky to have him.

Meet our sweetest little pughuahua Dash.
Dash was rescued off the streets in Mexico, and made his way to Canada on February 10th.
So far we think Dash would do well in a relaxed family environment. He is a very relaxed and zen dog, who often does some pretty cool yoga stretches.
He is super snuggly, and loves to lie on top or beside you for cuddles. He's independent enough where he won't follow every step you take. He trusts that you will come back to pet him soon.
Dash loves to sleep under the covers, but will also accept to sleep on his dog bed.
He is slowly getting used to the outdoors and walking comfortably with his fostermom. Things seem a bit scary to start, but he is improving everyday.
Dash can't wait to find his forever family, and to be loved forever.
Fostered in Port Coquitlam.

Sweet Maggie-magoo (a nickname provided by her foster family) is a calm young dog (3.5 years old) from Mexico. Her foster family says that she is well trained and will tell you when she needs to go out by touching the door. She can stay at home by herself for extended periods of time and curls up on the couch or her foster brothers mat and snoozes. She does not bark when people come to the door or when she hears people walk through the hallways.
Maggie came from a home with 7 other dogs so she has a learned behaviour of having to be challenged to eat. Her foster mom is helping her work on eating without having a fear of it being taken away starting with some hand feeding. She takes her food and treats very gently (you don’t even know the treat is gone from your hand- she’s that gentle) and seems to love salmon, chicken and beef.
Maggie is a timid girl, and it takes her some time to warm up to people. She warms up quicker when she is in a space where she feels most comfortable. She was used to her pack and can be quite shy around other dogs. She would best be suited with a family that lives in a quiet neighbourhood and can give her the attention she deserves and no longer has to fight for (I couldn’t imagine having to fight for attention when you have 7 fur siblings)!

Meet our dearest boy Max,
Max was found as a stray, and ended up in one of the biggest highkill shelters in California. There he sat waiting for someone to notice him.
On February 10th Max put his 4 paws on Canadian soil, and he could celebrate the good times coming from this day on. Max is so lucky to be fostered by his foster family who is nurturing him back to life. They're cooking him fresh food and loving him endlessly.
Max loves his people, and is also a fan of other dogs. He is 19 lbs, and about a year old. We don't know much about Max's story before coming to the shelter, but we're certain he did have an owner before he ended up on the streets, as he is a very loving, sweet boy who knows how to be a dog in a loving home.
Max is ready for his forever home, and he can't wait to find someone who will love him, forever.

Backstory: he used to be left all alone tied up outside on the owners roof top without any shelter from rain or shine.. 😞

Calvin also very much prefers to be with you on the couch, and sleeping with you is a big +! He also would need to get a decent amount of exercise, he loves the dog park.

Meet our very special star boy Preston.
Preston is a 6 1/2 year old boy who has an extremely sad story. Preston was abandoned in his home in June 2023, and ended up at one of the biggest high kill shelters in California. Luckily he was saved and all of a sudden moved in to an adoptive family in Seattle. Half a year later, the owner got ill and was no longer able to care for Preston, and he was again finding himself homeless.
We were contacted and asked to help, and welcomed Preston in to BFF on January 6th.
Shortly after meeting this long, furry, funny and extremely charming boy, we all learnt that he's a special one.
Seeing his long body gallop in what looks like slow motion, and his front paws go slightly inwards as he runs, is probably the cutest run we've ever ever witnessed.
Preston loves to go for walks and makes sure to get a hello from everyone he sees. He even attempts to go in to bakeries and stores for a quick hi, or bite? He walks excellent on the leash, and is overall a complete joy.
At home he is relaxed and loves meal time. He is exceptionally good at using his adorable Corgi eyes to ask for a treat!
He is good on his own at home, but when you're home, he will make sure he is by your side. He loves to follow foster mom from room to room.
Preston is also in love with his stuffy friend, that his previous owner sent with him. He will almost hug it, and sleeps with it all the time.
This little Corgi boy has been through enough on his journey so far, and we will make sure to do our very double triple best, to make sure Preston will get the most loving, kind and responsible home possible. No more moving for Preston, only forever is good enough.
Preston is being fostered in East Vancouver.

Tucker is an incredibly sweet boy rescued from a high kill shelter in California.
Tucker wants nothing more than to be with — and preferably cuddled up with — his people. He’s around 8 years old, and equally enjoys walk time and couch-chilling time.
He loves people, seems great with children (but hasn’t met many yet) and loves meeting other dogs. He is a bit shy at first, but warms up quickly. He’s very easy to care for, and has a good appetite… which is good because he needs to gain weight!
He seems to be a fast learner, and would do really well with a regular routine. Though he also is happy-go-lucky when things change. He seems to have great hearing and is very attentive to sounds, so a quieter home will probably be a better fit.
He is currently showing some signs of separation anxiety, but his foster mom is working at it and seeing improvement.
Tucker will be an amazing companion, whether snoozing while you go about your day, or cuddling on the couch when work is done.
He’s a lovely little guy and ready to find his Furever home ????
Tucker is fostered in East Vancouver.
If you'd like to meet sweet Tucker, please fill out the adoption application on our website. You'll hear back once we've received your application.

Meet Wally, the charming greyhound mix who's as energetic as he is affectionate.
Wally was stuck in one of the biggest high kill shelters in California. There he sat for 1 1/2 months, with nobody coming to get him. He was placed on the euthanasia list, and we got him JUST in time.
Despite his shelter documentation suggesting he's five, we're convinced Wally is a youthful two-year-old. His sleek coat and expressive eyes reflect his gentle and smart nature.
Wally is a social butterfly, enjoying the company of both people and dogs. He is just as happy going on an outdoor adventure as he is cozying up for a quiet night in. Wally is fully house trained but he could use a little help on refining his manners. His friendly demeanor and love of cuddles makes him a great addition to any loving home.
If you're seeking a lively and loving canine companion who is eager to please, Wally might be the perfect fit.
Come meet him and discover the joy of having this affectionate and spirited dog in your life!

Let us introduce you to our sweet little girl Nala.
Nala was a stray and was found in a field in California. Now that she has a nice warm and comfy home with her foster family, she doesn't want to ever go back outside. But her foster mom is slowly working with her to help build her courage. Nala is a very loving little girl.
She would probably do very well in a loving home that already has a friendly and affectionate dog. One that she can bond with and who can show her the ropes. As she has already been trying to get her foster sisters to warm up to her, and they are coming around slowly.
Nala is learning how to use a balcony potty pad.
Hopefully her furever family won't mind having her sleep in bed with someone in the family, because she loves to sleep up against someone's warm body at night. She is a great little sleeper and is as quiet as can be.
She doesn't seem to bark, but she does whimper a bit just to get your attention, which she wants a lot off. Attention that is. Whoever adopts this little girl will have the sweetest little love bug her foster mom has ever met. And she has met a lot.

Rupert is a smart little fellow, eager to please, and highly treat motivated - in the first day with his fosters he picked up 'sit'!
Rupert is a snuggly guy and likes to stick close to his people, especially if there is a lap available. While he is a terrier, Rupert has been very polite and quiet in his foster condo and also settles down nicely in his crate in the car.

Meet our tiniest 2 year old Craisin.
Little Craisin is the smallest little girl, and weighs only 5lbs.
Craisin was found living outside in a big open field with her sister and another little dog. Our wonderful rescue partner in California went out to trap and rescue them. First she got the other two dogs, but little Craisin was smarter than the other two and it took several days until she finally went in the trap and she was safe!
A short time after little Craisin came in to our rescue and is currently living in a foster home with a big female dog named Molly and our other rescue girl Ruru.
Craisin ADORES people and wants all the attention. So we're thinking she'd do best in a home where she's the only dog. Another exception to that would be with a relaxed big male dog. She's a big fan of them.
Craisin is ready for her forever home, and can't wait to find her person that she can snuggle and love, forever.

Little Daisy is 4 years old and ended up at the shelter after she was found wandering the streets of California.
Now Daisy is being loved immensely by her wonderful foster family.
Daisy is a huuuge snuggler, can't stand the Vancouver rain and just wants to be with her person.
She is being fostered in a home with another big dog + cat. She doesn't love the bigger dog, but they get along enough to leave each other alone. She doesn't seem to care about cats.
Daisy's ideal home would probably be as the only dog, or with a smaller doggie friend or cat.
She is ok to be left alone, when loose in the house. She's also working on her potty training, and is doing very well so far.
Crate isn't an option for Daisy. So her forever family needs to be open to her sleeping in bed with them.

Shorty clearly shows us he has been through a lot, and is going to take some time to heal from what his owner did to him.
He is currently being fostered by his wonderful foster family, and has a little foster brother named Opie.
He is slowly settling in, and wants to just be held and feel cared for.
He is an amazing jumper, and if you just bend down a tiny bit, he will jump right up in your lap. It's the cutest thing.
Shorty's ideal home would be in a calm, relaxed and loving home. With or without a small furry friend.
Shorty deserves to be loved endlessly, snuggled lots, held, loved, squeeeezed!
An absolute must for Shorty: to sleep with you in your bed. No crate, no dog bed, in your bed with you.
Only the very best for our Shorty.

She was found in a field, living outside for over 2 months. Desperately trying to find a safe place to be at night when the coyotes came out to hunt. She went to nearby houses, and would sleep outside their garage. Eventually someone called for help, and a wonderful woman came to rescue her. She set up a trap as Tudy was way too scared to come up to her. As soon as she smelled the fresh chicken the nice woman has brought, she went right in to the trap, and from that day she was safe.
Barney's Furry friends welcomed little Tudy in to our rescue and she arrived to Vancouver on September 14th. Every person she touched along the way, from the lady who rescued her, the lady who transported her, me included , to her foster mom, she touched every one of us with so much love, we all wanted to keep her. An angel sent from heaven. One day with foster mom, and she was adopted. Foster mom couldn't resist her loving being, and from there sweet Tudy got her forever happy home together with her sister Pepper. Happy life sweet angel, you're so loved, and will forever be safe and cared for.

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Patch. He wandered the streets of California for so long his pads were worn down and he was just skin and bones when someone loving and kind picked him up and brought him to the shelter.

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Patch. He wandered the streets of California for so long his pads were worn down and he was just skin and bones when someone loving and kind picked him up and brought him to the shelter.
There his time was running out and he heard there was a big truck coming to get 25 other dogs and bring them to a place called Beautiful British Columbia. That sounded very inviting, so he barked enough until someone at the shelter heard him and asked the lady who was picking up all the other dogs if she could be so kind and bring Patch too. Barney's Furry Friends Rescue got contacted and asked if we could save this little boy, and we said yes! No more roaming the streets alone fighting for food, dogs barking non stop at the shelter and a cold cement floor to sleep on.
Patch is 3 years old and weighs 11 lbs. He is very underweight and we are feeding him well hoping he'll gain weight soon.
Patch is very good with children, and loves to play with them. He is a couch potato at home, and definitely carries the greyhound traits there. He listens well, and is picking up on commands quickly. Patch is also very affectionate and makes sure to give you lots of kisses.
He is being loved endlessly by his wonderful fosters in downtown Vancouver and is waiting to see who will be his forever family.
If you'd like to meet little Patch, please fill out the adoption application on our website. Then you will hear back from us!

Milo is a top tier cuddle bug! After being found as a stray in California, Milo’s been spending his days trying to make up for all the cuddles he missed out on in his early life. We don’t know a lot about Milo before he made his way to his foster home in PoCo, but we do know that he is eager to meet new friends now!
Milo adores people and goes up to them to say hi. He is also keen on making new doggy friends! He lives with two dogs in his foster home and gets along with them well, but we think he’d be just as happy to be the only dog in the house, as long as you give him ample belly rubs! When you’re not busy cuddling together, Milo loves going for walks. He’s still unsure about high-traffic areas, but is easily reassured.
Milo hasn’t been tested with kids or cats, but if you’re interested in him and have kids or cats, we will do our best to test him with them. We think that Milo would do well in a house or an apartment, but after so much time spent with doggie companions, he might need some time to adjust and learn that being alone isn’t so scary.
If you're interested in meeting Milo, please fill out our adoption application on the website, and we will get back to you.

Ollie (or Ollie-pop as Foster mom nicknamed him), is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet! We don’t know much about Ollie’s past in California, but we know that he has a lot of love to give (and receive) in his future BC home.
Since being rescued from a dog-hoarder in May, Ollie has spent his time in a foster home in Coquitlam. His f
Ollie (or Ollie-pop as Foster mom nicknamed him), is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet! We don’t know much about Ollie’s past in California, but we know that he has a lot of love to give (and receive) in his future BC home.
Since being rescued from a dog-hoarder in May, Ollie has spent his time in a foster home in Coquitlam. His favourite things in the world are being scratched, sitting on his foster parent’s laps, going for walks, and figuring out how to get all the treats out of his treat ball. Ollie is still quite timid with new people and in new surroundings, but he is more trusting and brave each and every day.
Ollie walks well on a leash, is mostly house trained, doesn’t show signs of separation anxiety, and knows basic commands like “sit” and “down”. He’s a fast learner, especially if there are duck treats involved! Ollie’s exercise schedule is adaptable - he’s happy with a couple short walks a day, but has no problem with heading out hiking for a couple hours! Mostly though, Ollie is happy to do whatever you’re doing, as long as there aren’t too many strangers around. Whether it’s hiking or hanging out on the couch, he’s your guy!
We think Ollie would be best suited to a quiet home, with older kids (13+) only (he’s still not sure what the tiny energy-filled humans are all about!). Ollie would do well with another dog, he loves almost every dog he meets and comes out of his shell more with another confident dog around, but we think he’d be fine as an only dog as well. Ollie has met cats and shown mild interest, but no intent to chase.
Ollie is approximately 6 months old and his adoption fee is $800. Ollie has received the following medical care: health exam, neuter, rabies vaccine, DHPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm prevention, flea and tick prevention.
If you're interested in meeting Ollie, please fill out our adoption application on the website, and we will get back to you.

Mr Felix is a certified good boy! Since being rescued from a dog hoarder in late May, Felix has travelled from California to BC in search of the good life. Luckily for Felix, he’s been hanging out in a loving foster home in Coquitlam, learning all about what it means to be a member of the family.

Mr Felix is a certified good boy! Since being rescued from a dog hoarder in late May, Felix has travelled from California to BC in search of the good life. Luckily for Felix, he’s been hanging out in a loving foster home in Coquitlam, learning all about what it means to be a member of the family.
Felix’s absolute favourite thing is sitting on someone’s lap and receiving all the love and affection they can offer - if he doesn’t think they’re giving him just enough scritches, he will ask for more! When he’s not sitting on your lap, Felix will be following you around, happy to go wherever you do and do whatever you like - whether that’s a long walk, or just simply snuggling up for cuddles. Felix is still coming out of his shell, but each day he learns more about what the good life is all about.
We think Felix would do well in a family home with kids over 8, with a couple, or individual. It will take Felix some time to adjust, especially to younger kids, but his current foster family has a 9-year-old that he loves. Felix is easily won over with treats, and will take them from just about anyone! We think Felix would do well with another dog, but he could also be the only dog in the household. Felix has met cats and shown mild interest, but no intent to chase.
Felix is between 1-2 years old and his adoption fee is $795. Felix has received the following medical care: health exam, neuter, dental cleaning, rabies vaccine, DHPP vaccine, Bordetella vaccine, heartworm prevention, flea and tick prevention.
If you're interested in meeting Felix, please fill out our adoption application on the website, and we will get back to you.

Peanut Butter arrived March 31st with his brother Snow. They came all the way from California rescued from a hoarding situation.
Peanut Butter is approximately 6 months old and is unlike his brother Snow, a little more outgoing! He loves to play with other dogs, and is quite the funny character.
Since he's spent his entire life indoors with many dogs, he prefers dogs over people. His foster dad is working on getting him used to trusting new people, and brings him to work during the week.
Peanut Butter lives with a 9 year old boy, that he has fallen in love with. So Peanut Butter will most likely do well with children in his forever home.
If you'd like to meet Peanut Butter, please contact us: barneysrescue@gmail.com or directly on the website!

Cookie Dough is our very special first rescue who came all the way from Bakersfield in CA to Vancouver BC in Canada March 4th 2023.
Cookie Dough is approximately 1 years old, and was found as a stray. He was then taken in to the shelter, and from there we rescued him.
CD loves to snuggle, and won't accept anything less than sleeping right next to you at night, and on the couch beside you during the day. He is a little unsure of stairs, so he's practicing that with his foster dad. He is also getting more and more comfortable with other dogs. His bestfriend is Lexi, a big pitbull at foster dad's work.
He loves children, and is currently living with one child. After 15 minutes of walking he asks you to pick him up, he hasn't come to Canada to walk.. a lot. Being carried on the other hand, that he'll allow all day.
If you'd like to meet our very first rescue dog, CD, please fill out our application form on our website.
Cookie Dough is currently being fostered in Coquitlam.
