Three-year-old Mila is a sweet girl who has never lived in a home before and will need help to adjust and adapt to a new way of living. She has always been around other dogs so would like a canine chum to play with and learn from. She’s very playful and cheeky but is nervous around new people. She’d like an experienced owner who can help build her confidence and a large, secure enclosed garden.

One-year-old Esme has never experienced a normal family home so will need time to settle in and learn how it all works. She is always on the go and loves fuss and attention but can be shy at first so needs time to get to know new people. She gets on well with other dogs so would like a doggy friend in her new home. She’d be best with owners who are experienced with nervous dogs and in a home without other pets and with older children.
