Dog of the week: Tequila

Meet Tequila!

If you’re looking for a shot of joy, this 10-month-old Amstaff pup could be just what the doctor ordered.

Lively and affectionate, Tequila is the very definition of energetic.

Always eager for a game of fetch or a round of tug-of-war, with a playfulness that’s second to none, this furball of delight has an infectious spirit that will keep you smiling.

Tequila thrives on social interactions and would make an excellent addition to a dynamic household where there’s plenty of activity and companionship.

Whether it’s joining family gatherings or participating in neighbourhood adventures, Tequila is always the life of the party, spreading happiness wherever she goes.

To complement her energetic nature, Tequila has a distinctly affectionate side.

Gleefully snuggling up after a day’s fun or offering gentle nudges when you’re feeling down, Tequila’s warmth and loyalty make her an ideal companion for anyone seeking a loving and devoted furry friend.

If you’re looking for a dog who perfectly balances boundless energy with sweet affection, Tequila is your match!

Get ready for days filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable adventures together with this charming bundle of joy.

Sooty loves humans, loves other cats, loves to play and loves to relax. This easy-to-please superstar just needs a home to call his own!

Cat of the week: Sooty

Meet Sooty!

The universal adaptor of the feline world, this handsome seven-year-old could slot into almost any home.

His gentle nature and affectionate demeanour quickly win over any humans in his vicinity, while his friendly, submissive personality makes him a perfect pal for other cats.

Sooty gets on splendidly with all of his feline friends, and his energetic, playful antics will bring joy to every corner of his new home.

Sooty is a breeze to have around; he is litter trained, and you won’t be dealing with a chatty, attention-seeking kitty.

He appreciates his human interactions and loves to show affection without being overwhelming.
