Two devoted pooches need a forever home
They are two inseparable sisters who have never spent a day apart - and now the search is on to find them a home for life.
Staff at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury are hoping that Molly and Polly will find a new family in time for Father’s Day on Sunday.
The Jack Russells, who are 13 years old, are devoted to each other and have lived together since the day they were born.
Sadly, the canine companions found themselves having to leave behind everything they’ve ever known due to a change in their owner’s family circumstances. They arrived at Dogs Trust back in March and the team thought they’d find a new home at the double - but sadly that hasn’t been the case.
Louise Campbell, manager at the Telford rehoming centre said: “We always like to think a dog is for life but sometimes through nobody’s fault, it just can’t be and dogs find themselves without a home.
“It’s particularly sad when older dogs like Molly and Polly come to us. They are a perfect pair and the best of friends and have been keeping each other company. We can’t believe nobody has fallen in love with them yet.”
The team think the two-some might be being overlooked because they are Old Age Pooches, but they say there are lots of advantages to having an older dog, including the fact that they are often calmer and need less exercise than younger dogs, and although these two are still full of fun they like to sit back and rest their paws too.
Louise added: “Older dogs often wait a lot longer to find their special someone. It’s such a shame and these two will make loving, loyal companions.
“They can live with older children so if after months of waiting they were to finally find themselves at the heart of a forever family on Father’s Day when the love of family is celebrated, that would be really wonderful.”
