"I have been in touch with The barn since shortly after our Penny our dog of 15years old died. I new it would only be a matter of time before another little dog came into our home. They were very kind and although they need homes were not pushy which I appreciated. We were also in touch with other rescue agency's and they were all very kind. After a trip over to England to see family, we arranged a meeting with Janice to see a little dog called Ace he was adorable but my husband and I couldn't decide it has to be a joint thing, Janice brought in a JRT female called Luna who was wriggle bum but was rather sweet. We went home to talk about what we thought. The next day we had decided to see if Luna would be happy with us. So after all the paperwork and garden inspection.Luna came to see if we met her requirements ha ha that was the 24/12/25. She is now part of our family and is now called Lucy. She a wonderful little dog and has made our house a home again. Thank you all at The Barn you have helped us find a great little companion.xx"

"Fantastic dog charity, we got our wee Jasper from them just before Christmas. He's become a wonderful addition to our family and is already very much loved. We thank them very much for all they do to support the local community in providing a home to dogs that find themselves in need of a new family."
