Background –

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

Character –

Sookie and Pipers greatest joy is cuddling on the sofa, playing with toys and causing mischief.

Sookie is incredibly affectionate, she clearly feels a lot of emotion and seeks to please. Her eagerness to please makes her very receptive to training. 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.

These are loyal and loving girls who are hoping for someone to see them as individuals and take the time with each of them to help them grown into the confident seniors we know they can be.

Type of home –

Sookie and Piper want a quiet and patient pet-free, adult-only home. They wouldn’t cope with lots of coming and going, e.g. frequent new visitors or carers, in the home and their walks are best in quiet areas or secure fields, away from worries.

The girls are both active but don’t require daily walking/fields as they are quite happy to potter in a garden, play games, or do some training on their down days. Both girls can be left alone but must be left together, rather than apart.

Sookie and Piper haven’t lived with children whilst in our care. They would prefer an adult-only home, but may be able to live with sensible older children (13+), subject to successful introductions.

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 via their diet. 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 or at a local secure field. As the girls have been with us for a while, we would recommend potential adopters be prepared to meet them a couple of times before taking them home.

Our catchment area for rehoming is Somerset and the local surrounding areas (such as Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wiltshire).
