Barney's Small Breed Rescue, Bridgend (2026)

11/06/2026

Our begging bowls are out for the very last time 🙈 please can we give this a last push 🙏

Two weeks ago we took in the last 16 toy poodles, one was pregnant and had a pup, one is a disabled poodle and one cocker spaniel - all needing dentals, neutering, vaccinations and ear treatment. We have also rehomed another 84 dogs with no experience of the outside world from the same home in the last 18 months (on top of all the others) and all needing the same treatment 🤦‍♀️

It really has been an extremely tough time and drained all our funds.

Daisy one of the toy poodles is aged 6 and disabled (SEE VIDEO IN COMMENT SECTION BELOW). She was born with deformed back legs 😢 which means she shuffles around on her bottom and rises her back end up on times. She looks bigger in the video but is only 2.6kg 😀

In saying this she gets around reasonably well and is very happy and healthy otherwise 🥰 But we would love to get her a set of wheels so she can experience the outside world - the beach, forest walks, the park etc just like most dogs do. At 6 years old she deserves to be able to have this chance to get out and about and do the ‘normal things’ before she gets any older 🙏

And the vet bill for these 17 dogs is astronomical and is still ongoing 🤦‍♀️

Please please help us and donate if you can 🙏 As always we are so grateful for our loyal supporters who dig deep every time we make a plea. We couldn’t do this without you ❤️

***AVAILABLE***

here we have RORY available for adoption.
Rory is a Gentle, Sensitive Soul Finding His Bravery ❤️
Breed: Apricot Toy Poodle
Age: ~5 years
He has been vet checked, vaccinated, had a dental and is neutered.

Rory is a tender, gentle little boy with a soft heart and a quiet presence. Each day in his foster home brings a little more bravery, and it is a privilege to watch him slowly
unfurl.
Rory likes to keep track of his foster carer, quietly seeking them out before returning to his safe spot. While he isn’t yet confident enough to ask for cuddles, he enjoys being invited to sit with the group and appreciates calm closeness, takes interest in people, and likes to watch the TV. He also has a mischievous streak — especially
when he thinks no one is watching — and darts back to safety the moment he’s
spotted. Rory has a wonderfully comical bark and is likely to reveal more of his cheeky side as his confidence grows.
Rory has no teeth following dental treatment, but this doesn’t stop him from eating extremely well. He sleeps peacefully at night in his crate but would love to be allowed to sleep on the bed with his new parents. Rory is still learning toileting, so he
will need patience, routine, and gentle encouragement.
Rory needs a quiet, understanding home with someone around most of the time, where he can continue to build confidence at his own pace. Rory is reluctant at first to leave the house on walks, but he quickly settles into a stride and enjoys being outdoors. Untested with cats but likes a fuss from gentle children.
Rory is a sweet, sensitive boy who will blossom beautifully with love, patience, and
perhaps the steady companionship of another kind, gentle dog/s
..To have a private garden...Would like to live with another dog or more, to help him build confidence...He can live with a kind and dog savvy cat if introductions are done well...Children 14 plus...Maintain his poodle coat.

Please note that Rory is in Port Talbot South Wales and the successful applicant would have to travel to him we do not deliver. Maximum travel time to him is 4 hours.

**AVAILABLE**

Here we have RUFUS available for adoption.

Breed: Apricot Toy Poodle
Age: ~5 years

He has been vet checked, vaccinated and neutered.

Rufus is a bright, affectionate, and endlessly endearing little boy who has truly
blossomed in his foster home. Coming from a busy multi-dog household into a
quieter environment, he has adapted beautifully and now fills each day with joy,
curiosity, and his signature bum-waggle.
Rufus adores people. He is always ready for a cuddle or a cwtch and often
expresses himself with a comical bark when he wants attention. One of his sweetest
quirks is gently hopping up at his foster carer’s leg during cooking or washing up,
weaving happily between everyone’s feet. He is clever, eager to please, and would
thrive with training — he may even enjoy agility in the future.
Despite having only two teeth remaining after dental treatment, Rufus eats extremely
well and has a robust appetite. He sleeps peacefully in a crate at night but would
adore to be allowed to sleep on the bed with his new parents. Rufus is making
steady progress with toileting, though he will need continued routine and
encouragement.
Rufus would suit a quiet, calm home where someone is around most of the time. He can be left for up to four hours with other dogs but thrives with company, gentle reassurance, and
predictable routines. Rufus gets excited to leave the house on walks, he quickly
settles into a stride and enjoys being outdoors. Untested with cats but likes a fuss
from gentle children.
Rufus is a joyful, loving little dog who will reward his adopter with devotion, laughter,
and endless affection.

The type of home he needs ..
..Have a private garden..Have patience with helping him gain more confidence...Love having and affectionate little dog in the home...Allow him to sleep in the bedroom... Children 10 plus..He can live with other small dogs or be an only dog if he is not left home alone very long ..He can live with kind dog savvy cats with suitable introductions and patience...Must Maintain his poodle coat.

Molly is reserved

20/05/2026

*** AVAILABLE***

Please take the time to read this rehoming post of this lovely girl. If you cannot help please share her profile so we can find her her new home.
She is not a popular breed now and there are many Frenchies waiting in rescues. As well as this she needs special dietary food.
She is the most affectionate girl though ❤️

Here we have lovely Molly available for adoption.
She is a female 16 month old french bulldog.
Molly is a beautiful, smaller sized Frenchie that is extremely loving and is an absolute sweetheart. She is very affectionate and needs to be given lots of cuddles and attention.
Molly came in to our rescue because the owner said 'she was sh****ng everwhere' while he wasn't home and had split up from his partner. He failed to tell us why this was, or that she also had very sore and scabby skin.
Molly has been extensively checked at the vets. She had very loose stools and was leaking blood. Molly has had a scan, 2 different blood tests, poo samples taken and dietary trials that were unsuccessful.
She was also given a new allergy medication for her skin, which has now cleared up lovely.
Even through this, Molly has been very nice natured and it hasn't affected her lovely personality.
She has been diagnosed with IBD and also currently takes for allergies.
She is now on Royal Canin hypoallergenic food wet, dry and their treats. This has now meant no blood and when she toilets it is a Mr Whippy consistency.
She has been spayed, vaccinated and chipped.
Molly initially went into a foster home with other dogs and was good with them all, although she was persistent in her need to play. She then moved to a foster home where she is the only dog so she could get the individual health care she needed. They have a Jack Russell who stays with them on occasion and Molly is too much for him.
In her original home she lived with two other Frenchies.
Molly gets very excited when it's time for a walk, especially when she sees her harness!
She's very springy and bouncy and still quite puppy like. She will need some lead walking training as she can be strong onlead even though she is a smaller sized Frenchie.
She is fine seeing dogs out on walks but is over excited and bolshy when they get too close and she hasn't got great greeting manners. She loves being online on a quiet beach.
She doesn't seem to like poodles too much.
Molly can't live with cats.
She is currently sleeping on the bed with her fosterers at night which she loves so we would like this to continue in her new home.
She is housetrained, including overnight.
She can live with children 11 plus, who would be happy with a bouncy, playful and affectionate dog in the home.
Molly is wonderful and amazing company. ❤️
The type of home she needs..... Have a private garden.. Children 11 plus... No cats in the home. .. No dogs but we may consider a confident male Frenchie that loves a bolshy Frenchie play.. Maintain her current diet... Continue her current medication unless advised to stop by her vet...Take her for nice walks in quieter locations...An understanding home who can ensure she eats nothing else but her dietary food.
Molly is a gorgeous girl who desperately wants a stable family who can give her all the attention and love she needs.
Please note, Moly is in Porthcawl South Wales.
The successful applicant would have to travel to her we do not deliver. All in the home will have to travel to meet her. Maximum drive time to her is 4 hours.

***ADOPTED***

Here we have lovely Oakley available for adoption.

Oakley is a Male hairy hairless Chinese crested, aged 3. His coat is almost all coated and is non moulting.

Oakley has had a chemical castration prior to coming into our care. He is 5 months into a 12 month implant. Once this has expired he will need to be neutered.
He has been vet checked, is chipped and vaccinated.

Oakley is a lovely boy that loves to be close to his humans. He is such a lovely companion.
He enjoys laying on your lap and to follow you around the home. He really enjoys attention.

Oakley enjoys going for a walk and likes to spend time in the garden.
He is an active boy and will enjoy going with his new humans on lots of walks and adventures. He likes to be included in your day to day life.

He will need a little more confidence building on walks that are in busy areas as he didn't get to go out that much in his previous home, however he has started to enjoy this more and more. He has been to coffee shops and been a very good boy!

Oakley doesn't like dogs in his face and will sometimes raise a lip if they come right in to sniff him in his face (rude) or he will nose bop them to back off or he will go to the other side of the human to try to move away. He is good with dogs that have good manners and leave him alone.

He is currently in a foster home with other dogs and he is fine with them. They gave him his space initially and he coped well. He is now fine with being in a home with them and will play. He previously shared a home with chihuahua's which were not particularly nice to him.

He would be very happy as an only dog where he will get a lot of attention and be the main focus. He would love to have a human or humans that adore him, so he can adore them right back. He can live with another dog that are not full on and pester him and that will give him time to settle.

He can possible live with dog savvy cats. There are cats in his foster home and he has now learnt to live alongside them, after some management around them initially.

He is a gentle boy that will be ok living with children 12 plus as long as they treat him with respect.

He has been left at home with the other dogs up to 4 hours. This may be different if he is an only dog and his new owners will need to take their time and build up how long he is left for.

He would like to be in his new owners bedroom to sleep.

Oakley is a clever boy that enjoys mental stimulation he also enjoys snuggling up on the sofa.

Oakley would like a loving home that enjoys having a dog that loves nice walks, and receiving and giving love and affection.

The type of home Oakley needs...
..An active home that can walk him and include him in the day to day life...Have a private secure garden...Children 12 plus...He would be happy as an only dog or could possibly live with an easy going but active dog that won't be pushy with him to instantly play...Allow him to sleep where he wants to, including the bedroom...Neuter after his chemical castration period ends...Look after his coat and skin. Either maintain it yourself or attend a groomer...No cats.
