My Story:

Hello All,

Just a little info about our clan.

My partner (known as the hobbit) and i adopted our first rescue dog in May 09. After both having famliy pets all our lifes we thought our new house felt like there was something missing - or should i say someone missing until Barney came along.
Barney is our little Lakeland terrier who is almost 3 yrs old, and came to us from the Scottish Great Dane Rescue (i know don't ask!). We knew a bit of Barney's history prior to meeting him and knew there was alot of work to be done.
Barney was someones prize pet when he was a wee pup, but then got bumped off when the next puppy came along and lived outside along with a Dane for a year and a bit as well as being beaten before going to the Scottish Dane Rescue by forced removal. Only to be attacked form another Dane in the rescue center who almost took his little head off, 30 stiches and a few months later he's well again and ready to be rehomed with our famliy.
What a start to life!
Now we have the task of helping Barney settle in and begin to trust us and others again.

All help is welcomed X
