Otto is looking for an experienced owner who is used to a small dog with a spicy personality. He needs a quiet, adult only home where he will be the only pet.
Otto may be a small dog, but he is packed with a spicy personality. He knows what he does and doesn’t like, but by managing his environment, his new owner can avoid any unnecessary frustrations.

He has some doggy friends he likes to walk with, but he can be reactive when he initially meets larger dogs. Otto loves playing fetch with his ball, and he loves doing enrichment, especially when he can use his nose to sniff out treats.

Fred is looking for an owner who has owned a cat before. He requires a home where he has easy access to a garden and could potentially live with another cat. He may suit a home with cat savvy older children.
Fred is a lovely boy with a quirky personality. He has a very playful nature and likes having fun with his toys, and loves spending time outside exploring so will need easy access into a garden area. He is very affectionate but does like to give love bites, which do increase with excitement, so he wouldn’t suit living with younger children. Whilst we are unsure if Fred has ever lived with a cat in the past, he doesn’t seem to mind the other cats in the cattery, so could potentially live with another cat.
