Gender - Female

Age - 2 years old ( estimated)

Breed - Working Cocker Spaniel

Ariel is looking forever home to call her own - could you add four adorable paws to yours?

Described as "super friendly" and a "bundle of energy", she is looking for an energetic home that is always on the go. 

The affectionate dog needs a home with a private garden and 5ft fencing all around.

She can live with other dogs and children aged 14 and over but no cats or other furries.

The sanctuary has also shared that she has had a low-grade soft tissue sarcoma removed which will affect insurance policies so any adopter will need to consider this before applying.

Bengie

Gender - Male

Age - 3 years old

Breed - French Bulldog

As you can see, Bengie is incredibly handsome and is very friendly around people.

He needs to be the only pet in the home but is well-behaved around other dogs on walks and can live with children aged 14 and over.

After surgery on both ears, he is almost totally deaf which means there are a lot of needs any prospective owner will need to consider when giving him a forever home.

Benjie requires a set routine without too many distractions in the home and his new owners will need to bring him back for sanctuary-covered vet checks relating to his post-operative ear surgery and forthcoming airway surgery 2-3 months after adopting.

His new owner should give him minimal walks daily and not over-exert him and they should be financially secure enough to afford ongoing vet bills.
