Background –

Piper and Sookie arrived with us with minimal history, but it is believed that they are mother and daughter and they have lived in a home environment.

Character –

Sookie and Piper greatest joy is cuddling on the sofa. Sookie is incredibly affectionate and just wants a kind, calm person to cuddle up with. Piper would happily spend all day under a blanket; she’s independent and knows what she likes. She loves food and food based games, she’s cheeky and stubborn when she wants to be. Sookie loves to play and run around the secure field! Both girls are fiercely local and make wonderful alert dogs.

Type of home –

Sookie and Piper are not social and require a patient home. They wouldn’t cope with lots of coming and going, e.g. frequent new visitors or carers.

Their new home should be happy with dogs that avoid busy public outings. They cannot live with other pets, and their walks must be in quiet areas or secure fields, kept away from other dogs. They don’t require regular walking as they are quite happy to potter in a garden instead on their down days.

Sookie and Piper haven’t lived with children whilst in our care. We think they would prefer an adult-only home, but may be able to live with sensible older children, subject to successful introductions.

Both girls can be left and manage best when left together, rather than apart.

Please note: Sookie is a very springy girl and will require high fencing (approx. 6ft) in her new home.

Health –

Sookie and Piper have sensitive tummies, which are well managed with their diet being kept to limited proteins. They are otherwise in good health.

Adopting –

The girls are in foster care in Weston-super-Mare and applicants would need to come and meet them here.

We are accepting applications from a wider catchment area for Sookie and Piper (I.e. Devon and South East Wales). Please be mindful that you will need to travel to their foster home multiple times. You will not be able to meet a dog and take them home the same day.
