Jess

4 years old

She gives off “Elle Wood” – Legally Blonde vibes and she is totally okay with it! This fun, flirty, sweet girl is beauty and brains rolled into one and we know she is going to make a great family addition. We think she may suit children 10 and over and may also suit living with her own Bruiser– just as long as they are a little robust and happy to play. Her race name suggests ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ but Jess would probably tell you otherwise!

Otto

2 years old

There is something very special about our dear Otto, he had an unfortunate start to life which left his left side of his head a little deflated. He was then kept as a pet to grow up big and strong with his brother until it was time for him to be on the search for a forever home. Apart from his appearance, you would never know there was anything different about him and he has a lot of love to give. This gentle young boy is super sweet and gentle and loves neck scratches. We think he may suit living with or without another dog of any size and children 10 years+. Do you have a spot in your heart and home for this precious boy?

Rattus Maximus

3 years old

Have you ever seen a happier doggo? My Rattus Maxiums here is a simple lad that enjoys simple pleasures, sleep, walks, more sleep, gentle pats and splashing in the pool when its hot. He can be a little unsure of things at times but that will soon melt away as he learns all about the amazing things in pet life. We think he would be best in a home that is a little more relaxed and laid back so he can spend his days snoozing, enjoying the sunshine and a nice walk or two. He may also suit living with another canine friend of any size and children 10+ that are happy to give him space when needed.
