Bella is an exceptionally sweet and affectionate girl who loves human attention and is always wagging her tail. She enjoys her walks and loves getting out and about, but when she’s back at home, nothing makes her happier than curling up on your lap for extra cuddles.Bella would make a wonderful companion for someone who is home for much of the day and can give her plenty of love and attention. While she can be left alone for short periods, any time spent on her own should be built up gradually to help her settle comfortably into her new routine.

Oscar is a Chihuahua X Fox Terrier born 14/04/2012 so he is an old boy. Don’t let his age fool you though as he still has plenty of energy.He is a good little boy and knows his basic manners and walks nicely on his lead. He enjoys being outside for a little run around. He is very inquisitive.Oscar is a very independent boy but he likes the company of people and is friendly to all. He seems to be fine with other dogs and also cats. He enjoys having a fuss.As Oscar is elderly we think a quiet and calm home might suit him best. Probably an adult only home or possibly a home with older children who will understand that he is old and might just want to be quiet.Oscar’s video will follow soon.If you are interested in Oscar, please phone Gyll Mauchline (Between 9:00 and 17:00) on: 01778 424953 or 07708 589792.
