He’s ready to fill your life with love and laughter!

Meet the tiniest little boy named Piñata. 

Piñata was very sadly abandoned by his owner. He was tied to a tree and left to fend for himself without being able to run away. He waited for his owner to come back, but he never came..

There he was all alone tied up to a tree in a neighborhood where coyotes roam at night. Somehow the little guy survived the night, and the next day he was rescued. 

 He will never have to worry about being abandoned again, he’s a BFF dog now ❤️

Pinata is about 2 years old and weighs only 6lbs! 

Piñata is a snuggly little fella who loves to make his people laugh. He’s a big cuddler and also enjoys to play with his stuffies and balls. He is also a pro at walking on two legs! 

Pinata will greet you with kisses when you come home, and offer endless snuggles. He likes to run when he goes for walks, but will also happily be trotting next to his human.

Pinata can be a little leash reactive towards other dogs, and will need someone who can work with him on that. We believe it’s fear based from being defenceless tied up to the pole the day he was left behind. 

Pinata is ready to find his happily ever after, and can’t wait to never have to worry about being left behind again. He promises endless snuggles and love. 

If you’d like to meet the little dude, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Sweet Chevy is a 2 year old Chihuahua cross weighing about 13 pounds. 

Chevy was one of the lucky ones to be saved after being abandoned in a park in California.  While he came to Canada initially being fearful of his new environment he is quickly coming out of his shell and is extremely loving. 

Chevy loves to run zoomies in the yard and is also excellent on leash. He gets along great with other dogs and having a canine pal in the home does give him confidence, but not necessary. 

He is learning what cats are, being both curious and fearful of them, but not aggressive at all so with proper introductions a feline housemate could work. He loves to play with toys and engage with play with other dogs. He is treat/food motivated and has learned to sit. 

Chevy is 100% housetrained and travels well in the car.  While his foster mom works, he quietly sleeps under her desk on his bed. He is crate trained and sleeps in a crate at night beside the fosters bed and does not make a peep.

Chevy's wish list would include someone that is home most of the time as he thrives off human company and would love a yard to run & play. Chevy is initially fearful of men, but does learn to trust them with patience fairly quickly.  This boy will add so much love and laughter to his new family.

If you'd like to meet sweet Chevy, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Come meet this sweet boy; he can’t wait to be your new best friend!

Meet our wonderful little girl named Delilah. 

Delilah was stuck in the shelter, and ended up on the euthanasia list with her friend Darla. Little did they both know that life was about to turn for the better. Delilah and Darla became BFF dogs, and never have to worry about ending up at the shelter ever again. 

After Delilah came to Canada, we have quickly learnt that she's

always happy, wags her tail nonstop, and is full of energy and playfulness.   

Cuddly and affectionate, she loves a good head massage—once you start, you aren't allowed to stop, she will grab your hand and ask you to continue! 

Delilah is super friendly, and loves to approach everyone for pets and has been great with other dogs. 

She doesn't get bothered by noise, whether it’s neighbours in the condo or traffic during walks. She has also been very quiet, we still haven't heard her bark. 

She gets nervous when one of the foster mama's are not around, and may need some training on how to be on her own.

He is a bundle of joy with a happy tail and huge, expressive (and hairy) ears that add to his irresistible charm!

Waylon gets along well with cats, kids, and other dogs. He barks to alert his humans of new people or noises, but isn’t reactive and is overall a pretty chill lil guy.

He enjoys going for walks, but isn't a big fan of the longer ones. He would love a backyard or park nearby to keep me active.  

Gibbs currently lives with 2 other dogs in his foster home and they get along great. He seems quite willing to socialize with them, and could probably benefit from outings with other dogs to learn from them. 

Gibbs is a sweet little guy excited for the adventures him and his forever family will have.

A little bonus knowledge is that Unity sleeps with her little tongue out! SO cute!

Bethany is a delightful 3 year old girl, who is sweet as she is smart. 

With a loving heart and a playful spirit she has a special knack for winning over everyone she meets. She loves her people and likes to greet new people friends too!

Bethany has so far shown that she can be selective with dogs, some she loves, and some she doesn't. 

She enjoys sleeping in her crate over night, and is exceptionally excited to see you in the morning!
She’s incredibly affectionate and intelligent.

She does have a bit of a learning curve ahead of her with leash manners and being away from her people, but her eagerness to please and her loving nature make her a wonderful candidate for someone willing to offer a bit of patience.

Bethany can’t wait to find her forever family.

If you’d like to meet sweet Bethany, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet the super cute boy named Parker, with the sweetest little bat ears and irresistible underbite.

Parker was found as a stray, and ended up at the shelter. He sat there for so long they were about to euthanize him, but then another shelter welcomed him in the day he was suppose to be put down. There he didn’t have any interest either, but what he did have was a very nice shelter worker who reached out asking if we could please take him on, and shortly after he was on his way to BFF.

Parker is just one years old, weighs 27 pounds, and is in great health.

He’s looking for a family who can teach him some tricks, lots of toy time and of course, night time cuddles. 

He would do great in a home with another dog as he’s very dog friendly. He’s totally chill with cats as well! He met one at the vet and he was great with him. 

On leash he’s done very well and has already overcome his fear of stairs. He’s now first to go up and down and through doors. He does love to find a good patch of grass and do a barrel roll for some belly rubs. 

Parker is close to a dream come true, and deserves nothing but the very best home. 

If you'd like to meet Parker, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet Frodo, our Riverside shelter euth survivor.

Frodo is one of a kind, that's for sure. But don't let those short legs fool you, this little man is mighty! 

He has the biggest heart and will give you as much love as you give to him. He is the most easy going, chill little guy. He can easily jump up onto the couch, but prefers to sleep and relax on his dog bed (with a blanket).
So far, he has been a very quiet dog. With neighboring dogs barking, he hasn't reciprocated once. 

Frodo absolutely loves his walks! He gets so excited when  you pull out his leash, but will stand so patiently while being harnessed.  His walking skills are fantastic and he does not pull one bit. He is very curious and loves to explore with his nose. He especially loves to walk along the sidewalk curbs like a balance beam! 

It seems clear to us that Frodo has lived in a home before. He knows how to sit and come when called.  He is very food motivated, so that will aid in his continued training.

This little man is very smart, obedient, and always aware of what is going on.

Frodo has been great in the vehicle and  loves going for truck rides with his foster dad! Frodo has had the chance to meet some older kids, and was fantastic with all of them. 

At the end of the day, this sweet boy just wants to be loved.  He is absolutely one of a kind and will no doubt garner attention wherever he goes.

If you’d like to meet our dearest Frodo, please fill out the adoption application on our website

Meet our sweet senior girl, Bella!

Bella has been a quiet girl since arriving to Canada, but her playful spunky personality is starting to emerge every day. She is now playing with toys and will get short spurts of the zoomies!

She is a very uncomplicated dog, enjoys the slow pace life and would be perfect for someone looking for a faithful loyal companion. 

Bella is crate trained and sleeps in her crate overnight without a peep although she probably would prefer to sleep on the bed with her people. She is housetrained, but will use a pee pad if provided which is great for apartment/condo living. 

Bella loves her walks, is fantastic on leash and great in the car. 

She gets along great with other dogs but would be fine on her own as well. Bella has a very keen interest in the cats at her foster home so we do recommend a home with no cats. 

Bella has met older children and is very respectful, but she would probably prefer a quieter home for her retirement years. 

If you’d like to meet sweet Bella, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet this total cutie: Coconut!

His rescue journey started with months alone in a parking lot as a stray; hair matted, eating scraps, and terrified of the kind humans who tried to rescue him.  

It’s hard to believe this is the same dog. 

Coconut is eager to learn and trust humans again. In just a few days he learned to walk on a leash, tackled stairs, and bonded with the family cat, dog, and even bunnies! He’s okay in a car and in a crate, although he much prefers to be snuggled next to his human! 

He is a super chill dog who hasn’t barked or whined and has shown zero aggression. He mostly just likes to take long naps, cuddle on the couch, and go on walks. 

Coconut is great with kids and other pets! Overall, he’s just the perfect little sweetheart that will do well in a family willing to give him the time and love he so much deserves. 

If you’d like to meet Coconut, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet our sweetest little boy, Chay!

Chay is a tiny bundle of joy weighing just 10 lbs. At approximately 3 years old, this little survivor has already faced incredible challenges. He was found abandoned in an area teeming with coyotes in California, where vigilant neighbors spotted him on their cameras, wide awake and alert, unable to sleep due to the danger surrounding him.

Despite his tough start, Chay has a heart full of love. He’s a super friendly and affectionate little boy who adores snuggling, playing, and sleeping right next to you. Chay would thrive in a home with another furry friend or on his own. Though he may take a bit of time to warm up, once he does, he promises to be your loyal companion forever.

Chay is eagerly waiting to find his forever family. 

If you think you could be the one to give Chay the loving home he deserves, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet our sweetest terrier Princess,
named Erika.

Erika was found on the streets of California, most likely dumped.. She weighs 19 lbs and is 1.5 years old. 

Erika is a shy sweet girl, who is slowly coming out of her shell. She likes other dogs, but is saying no thanks to any long walks yet! Resting and snuggling with her foster moms is more Erika’s jam.

She’s not bothered by loud sounds, and hasn’t made a peep just yet! Erika is a calm, shy and very sweet girl who can’t wait to find her forever family.

If you’d like to meet sweet Erika, please fill out our adoption application on our website.

Meet Ringo! A 3 yr old Chihuahua mix with a beautiful chocolate brown coat and the cutest little face! 

 Ringo is a shy, sensitive soul that has a sweet, gentle disposition. He enjoys being pet (you could pet him until your hand gets tired), will accept attention from strangers and is comfortable with being picked up and handled.  

Ringo is getting more comfortable with being on a leash and has successfully walked by people, dogs, and bikes. He even gets happy little zoomies when he’s at the beach! Ringo seems content to also just sit and watch the world go by at a park.  He seems to love other dogs and would benefit from a fursibling, or regular social outings with other dogs that can show him how fun being a dog is! 

Ringo came nose to nose with the vet office cat and didn’t react, so likely could coexist well with a kitty friend.  He can still be timid around loud noises or fast movements, so an adult only home, or one with older, dog saavy kids would suit him best.  

He rides perfectly in the car and will be the perfect companion for adventures as he continues to build his confidence.   Ringo was found as a stray and is still quite nervous of the big world around him. With lots of love and patience, he will without a doubt flourish into the best little dog!  

If you’d like to meet Ringo, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet our Doberman mix, Cal!

Cal is a super playful and gentle dog! He is a happy puppy and loves to chase the ball.. Although we are still working on bringing it back! The vet says I am a Doberman mix and I am 4 months old. I weigh 23 lbs right now and am expected to continue to grow.

He loves any and all humans, but is still a bit aware of other dogs, especially big ones! He is learning to walk on a leash and is picking it up really quickly! Cal has also learnt how to sit, and loves to learn.

Cal is currently being fostered with a cat, and is really curious about her. He’s hoping they’ll be bestfriends soon!

Cal would do well in most homes that promises to love and care for him forever! He’s a puppy that will continue to grow, learn and flourish.

If you’d like to meet handsome Cal, please fill out our adoption application on our website.

Meet Snowball, the spirited 2.5-year-old husky/lab mix with a heart as big as his appetite for adventure! 

With his striking coat and boundless energy, Snowball is ready to charm his way into the hearts of his forever family. 

This lovable goofball is a social butterfly through and through, wagging his tail at the sight of both canine companions and humans alike. Whether he's romping around with other dogs at the park or showering his human pals with affectionate tail wags and sloppy kisses, Snowball's love knows no bounds.

But don't let his friendly demeanor fool you—Snowball is a powerhouse of energy, always ready to hit the trails and explore the great outdoors. With a love for hiking and a zest for adventure, he's on the lookout for a family who can keep up with his active lifestyle and provide him with plenty of opportunities to burn off his energy.

Snowball isn't just a pretty face; he's also a smart cookie who loves to learn new tricks and show off his impressive repertoire of skills. From sitting politely for treats to giving the perfect paw shake, he's always eager to please and ready for the next training session.

When it's time to unwind after a long day of fun and games, Snowball's favorite pastime is indulging in belly rubs galore. There's nothing he loves more than lounging around with his favorite humans, soaking up all the love and attention he can get.

Despite being abandoned by his previous owner in California, Snowball hasn't lost hope in finding his happily ever after. With a heart full of love and a spirit that refuses to be dampened, he's determined to find a forever family who will cherish him as much as he deserves.

He also knows when to take time for himself and does great sleeping alone. 

Cooper is in a foster home with another dog and two cats and he’s cohabiting very well with all of them! Cooper loves to play and meet other dogs, but is still careful with humans he just met. Took him only one day to learn how to walk on a leash and he is proving us everyday that he has everything to be a great dog! He just needs someone with patience and lots of love to show him what safety feels like! 

He is eager to please and be a good boy. He’s very funny and quirky and will zoom around when you give him a treat or when he’s overcome with joy. A real bundle of love and sunshine. I hope you love to cuddle on the couch because that’s his favourite thing to do

Meet our miracle girl named Karma, rescued on Valentine’s Day. 

Karma was euth listed at Riverside Shelter for being kennel stressed. She dropped offline, and we all thought she was gone. Little did we know she was still alive. The power went out by a miracle, so they had to postpone her euthanasia on February 11th, and after two incredible fosters stepped up and said yes we want to help save her, we got everything arranged within an hour on Valentines Day, and Karma was SAVED by a pure miracle. 

This dog truly has angels watching her, and we are so grateful you’re here with us. Safe, loved and cared for. 

Whoever the lucky family is who gets to adopt her, will be glad fate intervened for Karma to be part of Barney’s Furry Friends Rescue.

Karma is a shy and careful dog with new people. However, if you are willing to be patient and understanding (and willing to give her lots of treats!), Karma will bond with her person. While nervous with people, Karma LOVES dogs. She is great with dogs big, medium and small. She has played with St. Bernards to small toy poodles.

She is great in the car, and is easy to travel with. Karma absolutely loves snuggles on the couch, going on walks and doing happy ‘zoomies’ in the yard. She would make a great running or hiking partner.

She would do well with another dog in the home or someone who likes to go to dog parks where she can make new doggy friends. Karma is a sweet, affectionate and cuddly dog who will make someone very happy!

Karma is approximately 2 years old and weighs 50 lbs. She’s a wonderful mix of miracle and pure love.

Pirate ended up at Riverside Shelter in mid December 2023. He was such a friendly loving boy, it bought him some extra time. In March his time was up, and he was placed on the euth list.

Transport was too far away, but we intended on saving Pirate. Something felt extra special about this boy. He couldn't just have waited for so long, for nothing. We raised the boarding costs for Pirate from our supportive community, and Pirate walked out of the shelter free, forever!

Pirate is about 1 years old, and is a lab/retriever mix. He's a bundle of absolute JOY and energy. Pirate is already neutered and up to date on all his vaccines, dewormed + microchipped.

Pirate's ideal home would be with an active family who can promise him weekly hikes and plenty of fun socializing as he's a social butterfly with both dogs and people.

If you'd like to meet our loving Pirate, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet the our mini golden Rusty!

Rusty came from California on May 25th, and started his new life in Canada. He is around 4 years old and weighs 18 lbs. 

Rusty’s story is heart breaking, as his owner left him  

For 4 years Rusty lived at the car shop with his owner, loyal and always there by his owners side. Then one cold day the owner decided to close up shop, and left both the shop and Rusty behind. Confused and sad, Rusty waited and waited for his owner to come back.. but he never did. 

After a while a very kind lady came to rescue him in from the cold, and shortly after he made his way to us. Rusty had to be medically shaved all the way down as he was covered in oil and very matted.

Rusty loves people and other dogs, and always look forward to his daily walks. He is food motivated and will do almost anything for a piece of something yummy to eat. He’s nervous around men, and needs some training and reassurance that men are good too. 

He can be a bit shy to start, but as soon as you build his trust he will show his great character
At home he relaxes on his bed or on the couch, and is a very relaxed boy.

Meet our wonderful Princess Gina. 

Gina came into our rescue after her owner died in a car accident. Ever since Gina has felt down and confused all of a sudden loosing her person. 

The day Gina arrived in Canada, there was a man filling up his motercycle with gas across from us. Gina was sitting in quietly in her crate, and the man could not help looking over. After a little while he walked over and asked who this beautiful dog was, and explained he had recently lost his own dog. He fell in love with Gina, and that same week he came out to meet her again, and there wasn't a doubt in his mind that she had to come home with him and his family. 

The universe brought Gina home, and she has found her forever person. It couldn't of been more meant to be. 

Two broken hearts healing together. 

Happy Tails sweet friend!

Meet our tall kangaroo Olivia!

Olivia is just a year old and weighs 16 lbs. She's thought to be a greyhound mix because of her height and speed, hence the nickname Kangaroo. 

She is as friendly as they come, and loves to be near her person. The first thing she did when she arrived, was jumping up on us with her sleek long legs asking for cuddles! 

Olivia loves a good run and is great off leash, she loves to stick to her person. She also likes to spend lots of time chilling and cuddling when she's not out running on the trails. She's good with mellow dogs, but is still trying to figure out what playtime means with the more hyper ones. 

Olivia is fully potty trained, so she won't leave you any surprises!

Olivia would do well in most homes, and can't wait to find her forever home! 

Fostered in Port Moody.

Meet the sweetest little girl named Anica. 

Anica is about 4 years old and weighs 10 lbs. She's the cutest little terrier mix, rescued from the streets of California. 

Anica is shy to start, but just the sweetest little angel. She was only fostered for a few days before the foster family decided she is staying. Another wonderful foster fail story! We love those the most. 

Happy tails little friend!

FOSTER FAIL :)

Meet Baz, a sweet loving puppy who sat in the shelter for over 4 months hoping to be seen and saved. After the 4 months passed and nobody came, he along with his 2 siblings ended up on the euthanasia list. That’s when we asked you guys for help, we needed a committed foster to say yes, and Baz’s wonderful foster mom said yes to saving this angel.

Baz is the sweetest pup you could ask for! He’s still learning that the world isn’t so scary, and growing more confident and into himself each day. 

We think he’s a Shepherd/Staffy mix, he’s about 35lbs, so will probably be on the smaller side. His people and k9 companions make him feel safe. So we think he’d do best in a home with another loving dog who can continue to show him that life can be good. 

He is calm natured and very well behaved. He’ll have no accidents if taken out every 3-4 hours. He is a bit slow on leash as everything is still new to him, but he stays close to your side. He sleeps perfectly in his crate at night, although he’d prefer to cuddle. He is also living with cats, and he’s not so sure about them, but doesn’t chase.

Baz is 8 months old and has waited for so long for someone to notice him. We can’t wait to find Baz his forever home and promise him he’ll never be left behind again.

If you’d like to meet Baz, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

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.

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. 

If you'd like to meet our dearest little boy Reed, please fill out the adoption application on our website. 

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 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.

If you'd like to meet Lolek, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

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.

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 the most beautiful girl, Sky. 

Sky came to Barney's Furry Friends as an owner surrender. Her mom and dad went through a separation, and after awhile the dad couldn't keep her anymore, so they surrendered her to us. 

Sky is 6 years old and is an absolute dream. 

She loves both people and dogs, and is cuddly and playful!

She also gets along with cats. 

Sky is originally from Manitoba, but is now a BC girl, being fostered in East Vancouver with another dog and 2 children. 

This lovely girl deserves to go to a home that promises to love her forever, and never let her go. Sky would do best in a home as the only dog. 

If you'd like to meet Sky, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Blair is probably the biggest miracle we've ever been so lucky to have saved.

Blair was stuck at Riverside shelter for only about 2 weeks, before she was put on the euth list. With a runny nose and being a pittie, her chances of making it out were slim. When we saw her, we knew we needed to save her, and after a lot of work, we finally managed to find a foster who said YES to fostering her. Which meant we got to save her life.

Blair is an absolute angel of a dog, and loves humans. She is like most pitties, happy - go lucky, who loves to be with her human.

Blair is about a year old and weighs 48 lbs. Whoever gets to welcome Blair in to their life will be the luckiest. She is truly a miracle, and we are so grateful to have welcomed her in to our rescue.

We think Blair would be the happiest living with another furry friend, as she has some separation anxiety. Her ideal family would also be more with her than gone. She'll need some training and patience being left on her own, but we do believe she'll to a lot better on her own if she has a furry friend beside her.

If you'd like to meet this sweet angel, 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.

This petite pup is a social butterfly, getting along famously with both dogs and cats. She loves exploring the world on walks and snuggling up for cozy naps. While Tansy can sometimes feel nervous in new situations, she just needs a patient and understanding family to help her feel secure.

With her near-perfect potty training skills and endless affection to give, Tansy is ready to become your loyal companion. If you’re looking for a furry friend to brighten your days, Tansy might be the perfect match for you.

Tansy loves other dogs, so we would love for Tansy to have a furry friend in her forever home.

If you’d like to meet Tansy, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet the sweetest girl named Charlotte. One of many Riverside shelter survivors. 

Charlotte came into the shelter as a stray, and was suspected pregnant. She was quickly spayed by the shelter, to prevent more unwanted dogs from entering the world. 

Charlotte arrived to Canada on April13th, and arrived with such an easygoingness, it truly describes her personality well. 

Charlotte wants to be near her human, and loves to cuddle up. She also enjoys other dogs, and is easygoing with new people. Nothing seem to really bother her. She has such a good outlook on life it is inspiring to see. 

Charlotte would do well in most loving, committed and caring homes. We can't wait to find Miss Charlotte her forever home. 

Charlotte is about 1 years old and weighs 11 lbs. 

If you'd like to meet the sweet girl, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet our little Buzz,

Buzz is about 6 months old and weighs 12 lbs, and is a fun little boy filled with lots of playful puppy love. He gets along with both people and other dogs.

He loves people as much as he loves dogs, and is overall a joy to have around.

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!

If you’d like to meet Donovan, please fill out the adoption application on our website

Meet tiny Pongo!

Pongo found himself in a scary high kill shelter, and was quickly euth listed for being scared. We quickly pulled him, and he found himself on his way to Canada on March 16th.

After a few days with Pongo, we've quickly realized he is the sweetest, easiest pup to have around.

He settles in quickly and loves to snuggle up in a blanket next to you at home. He gets super excited when he sees his leash/harness and knows when it’s time to go outside! 

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. 

Pongo is 1 years old, weighs 10 lbs, and is a chi mix!

If you'd like to meet Tiny Pongo, please fill out the application on our website. 

Finnegan, a.k.a Fantastic Finn, is a 1-year old loveable, cuddly little bouncing bean! 

He is an intelligent little man and is learning basic commands. He had a very long journey to Canada and is learning how to be on his own for long periods of time, but sleeps very well alone in his kennel at bedtime.

Finn is very intelligent and curious. He has been cat tested and can live lovingly with both cats and dogs. He adores playing with dogs of all shapes and sizes! 

He is wary, but curious of new people, and made incredible progress with trusting men in only the first few days! 

Finn would do well in a household that has the time and patience to continue training. He loves to know that he is a good boy and would make the most incredible addition to any home!

Please fill out the adoption application on our website if you'd like to meet our clever Finnegan!

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.

Please fill out the adoption application on our website if you'd like to meet our sweet Pughuahua Dash.

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)!

If you'd like to meet our sweet Maggie-Magoo, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

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. 

Egon is a little Mexican puppy who was so lucky to come all the way up to Vancouver, along with his brother's Elliott and Eden. 

Egon has never known the abandoned life, and is like most puppies, happy go lucky with no worry in mind. He is playful, and super snuggly and affectionate. 

He is just 5 months old, and is all up to date on his vaccines, deworming and flea/thick prevention. He is also neutered and microchipped. 

Egon is all ready for his forever family. He can't wait to meet you!

If you'd like to meet him, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Calvin is a sweet Mexican rescue mutt who made his way all the way to Vancouver BC.

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

Calvin is a warm and snuggly boy, who can’t get enough cuddles. He gets quickly attached to his human, and if he could choose he’d like to be around his human all of the time. He loves to play with other small dogs, and is both people and dog friendly.

Calvin is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/thick treated and microchipped.
He is all good and ready for his forever home, and we can’t wait to give him the very best home, where he never has to worry again about being left behind.

Calvin’s ideal home would be with someone who either works from home, or where there’s someone home a lot of the time, as he does not enjoy being on his own for too long. 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.

If you’d like to meet Calvin, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Little Minnie was rescued from the shelter where she was euth listed along with her 5 other siblings. 

They were left behind when their family moved. So the shelter took them in, and because they were so frightened, the automatically got put on the euth list. 

Minnie was saved along with Missy, and we welcomed them both into BFF on January 10th. 

Minnie is approximately 1 years old, and weighs 12 lbs. She has the most beautiful long fur and charming little ears.

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.

Meet the cutest long-legged Andy! 

Andy is only 10 months old, and was found on the streets of Tijuana Mexico. 

When he arrived in to BFF, he was scared and very shy. After a few days with foster mom, he is slowly opening up and is getting more and more curious about this new life he is living. 

Andy is extremely affectionate, and loooves to lie next to you, preferable under a blanket. No wonder, it's a lot colder here than in Mexico!

The sweet boy weighs 14 lbs, is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, flea/thick treated and microchipped. He's ready for his forever home. 

Andy would fit in to most loving, caring homes, but a quiet home would be preferred. Where the adopter can promise endless snuggles, because Andy sure will.

Gus was quite timid when he came, but is quickly coming out of his shell. He is a big snuggler and has really taken to foster mom. Wherever she is, Gus is.

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.

If you'd like to meet little Nala, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet Leo, a resilient and affectionate 1 year old chihuahua/terrier pup with a heart as big as the California skies!

Leo and his six siblings were discovered in an industrial area, yet he has maintained a very sweet disposition.

Despite his challenging start, Leo has mastered potty training and is eagerly searching for a forever home where he can share his boundless love and receive the comfort he craves.

This endearing canine is not just a companion but a loyal friend ready to shower his future human with affection and loyalty.

Leo is more than prepared to find a loving family and is eager to embark on a new chapter of his life filled with love and warmth. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a furry friend who embodies sweetness, intelligence, and the desire for love, Leo is the perfect match for you!

The king of cuddles, Rupert, is looking for his forever home!

Rupert is a super sweet and friendly 6ish month old terrier mix (~15lbs). He is getting along great with the other dog in his foster home and doing very well with learning crate training. 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.

Rupert is currently being fostered in Kitsilano.

If you'd like to meet little Rupert, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

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.

If you'd like to meet tiny sweet Craisin, please fill out the adoption application on our website. 

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. 

If you'd like to meet little Daisy, please fill out the adoption application on our website. 

Our wonderful 3 year old Shorty. 

Shorty was dumped by his own owner by a canal, and was rescued by our rescue partner in California when someone called her. There he was lying, in the ditch. He didn't move, he was so scared. So she picked him up and he is now forever safe. 

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.

Meet the wonderful little Maxy girl. 

Maxy was owner surrendered to the shelter on August 22nd. The shelter was full so Maxy got put in a small pop up crate in the hallway at the shelter, and there she sat for days, until we were asked to please take this little girl in, so we did. 

From there Maxy got spayed, vet checked, vaccinated, chipped, dewormed and flea/thick prevention. A little while later she found herself on transport all the way to Vancouver BC. Shortly after coming off transport she gave endless kisses and ran around in happiness, she knew she was safe! 

Little Maxy is 1.5 years old and got long Bambi legs. She still has to put some weight on as she's a little too skinny. Her foster parents are teaching her basic commands like sit, lie down and shake a paw + where to go potty. She is picking it up fast, and seems to be a clever little girl! She loves to snuggle up with both her foster parents, and she loves to do little zoomies around the house. 

Maxy as an active girl and needs a home who’s ready to let her sprint and play! When she’s gotten her exercise, she happily lies down with you and snuggles. 

If you'd like to meet our little Bambi girl, please fill out the adoption application on the website.

Henry is the sweetest happiest boy looking for his forever home.

He was found as a stray in California, and from there he was picked up by animal control, and taken in to the shelter. How someone could of abandon such a loving, happy boy, we don't know, but we're so happy he is now safe.

Henry is an active boy who would love to come for hikes and daily walks with his person. After his walks he happily relaxes at home, or plays with some of his toys. His foster mom says he would be wonderful in a home with another dog about his size, but would also be just fine on his own.

He is fully housebroken and picks up on things quickly! He loves to go for walks, play with his toys and snuggle. Henry loves most dogs, but there are some is unsure of, so foster mom is working on that part with him.

Henry has only love and tail wags to give, and he can't wait to soon be so lucky to find his forever home, and never have to wonder where home is, ever again.

If you'd like to meet the happy joyful boy, please fill out the adoption application on our website and you'll hear back from us.

Little 6 lbs Tudy is an angel sent from heaven. 

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.

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. 

Fostered in Port Coquitlam.

If you'd like to meet this sweet boy, please fill out the 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 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. 

Fostered in Coquitlam.

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.

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.

Little Arlo arrived in Coquitlam March 31st with his brother Peanut Butter. 

Arlo and his brother were rescued from a hoarding situation in California. 

Arlo is approximately 6 months old and came in very timid. He loves to be snuggled and adores his foster mom who is giving him all the love, space and care in the world.

Arlo will need some time to come out of his shell, but once he does he will bloom into the most beautiful loving dog we know is in him.

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.
