WE say that man is dog’s best friend, but some the canines being housed at the Merseyside Dogs Trust are also best buddies with each other too.

Over the last month, six pairs of inseparable dogs have been admitted to the centre. In the 14 years that the centre has been open, this number of pairs is unprecedented.

Now dog owners across Merseyside are being urged to double up their love, and consider rehoming two dogs instead of just one.

Georgina Lowery, centre manager at Dogs Trust Merseyside which covers St Helens, says: “Quite unusually, at the moment we have had six pairs of dogs that can’t be separated.

“They are all looking for families with big hearts who can take them both on.

“Rehoming a pair of dogs can be incredibly rewarding, especially if it means you’re helping to keep a friendship together. The two dogs can also keep each other company in the home.

“We’re appealing to anyone who thinks that they can offer a pair of dogs a home together, to please get in touch.”

DOGS looking for a home include: l Jet, 13 years old and Midnight, 14 years old are adorable Labrador siblings who are looking for a lovely family, with children over the age of 14 to love them. Jet and Midnight both have failing sight, and so are very dependent on each other but still do like getting out and about on walks.

Sky is a two-year-old Husky, who loves nothing more than playing fetch and having a bath. She is totally inseparable from her best friend Shadow, and they do everything together from sleeping, to eating to watching television! Sky can be nervous of loud noises and some situations, and relies on Shadow for her confidence. Shadow is a three-year-old Northern Inuit, who loves spending her days looking after Shadow. She is very intelligent and enjoys playing fetch with her toys.

Bonny and Milly are crossbreed sisters, aged four, and have done everything together their entire lives. Bonny is very affectionate and loves a belly rub and lots of fuss! Milly loves nothing more than a tug of war with her sister, but isn’t particularly fond of walks in the rain! They are very attached to each other and must be rehomed together.
