Males 9 Years LabradorsReason for surrender- noise complaints from neighbours but bearing in mind there were 4 dogs in total in the house.These two are big softies in their senior years. We really hope it’s not a lengthy stay in kennels. They do cope completely grand apart from each other so we will consider applications for them both together or separately.Buzz is an oversized lapdog weighing in at 43 kg! He doesn’t realise this though and insists on sitting on your knee for bum scratches. Buzz had surgery on his knee aged 2 years old and that coupled with his senior years leaves him needing pain relief.Benji is a little smaller at 33 kg. Benji likes to walk around carrying a toy, he has a particularly love for his burger toy. Benji has a luxating patella but it doesn’t cause him any great issue. Again though with his senior years he is on daily pain relief to make him more comfortable.These two could live with other dogs pending successful meet and greets.Benji and Buzz could live with children of any age who have a sensible approach to dogs. .* .We are open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1.30pm – 3.30pm.If you are interested in offering this dog a home and you meet the criteria listed, then please click on the following link to complete an online application or visit us during the above days and times.If you are being considered, we will be in touch to arrange an appointment for you to meet the dog and start the rehoming process.All parts of the form must be completed to ensure your application can be processedIf you are being considered to commence the adoption process you will receive a call from a number ending in 081 or 993; due to time constraints there will be a limited timescale to answer or respond to our message.Dog Adoption Application
