3/7/20 – Zoe is now reserved!

Roxy might not be classically good looking but she has a beautifully kind heart. She’s shy with new people but once she knows you she’s a soppy, affectionate old girl. If she meets a puppy, her big hearted nature makes her waggy tail a blur! Could you love her?
Danny (Private Rehoming, Cornwall)
Danny is a gentle, affectionate people-pleaser who loves his walks almost as much as he loves his food. He’s best suited to an adult only home as an only pet, although he’s easy-going with other dogs he meets.

TamTam (Paws Crossed Survivors Egypt, kennelled West Dorset)
