Cuddlesome twosome seek loving new home

08.07.11

Having been together their whole lives, dogs Murphy and Bailey should be looking forward to a happy retirement together, but have instead found themselves homeless.

The loveable pair of Staffies have been in the care of our Chesterfield Animal Centre in Derbyshire for over three months and are desperate to find a kind owner who will let them see out their old age together.

Murphy, who is tan-and-white and male, and Bailey, who is black and female, are both nine years old, that's sixty-three in human years!

At their age they should be enjoying long walks in the countryside and naps by the fire, but are now facing an uncertain future.

'They cuddle up together every night...'

Centre manager Richard Woodwards said:

These two really love each other.

They cuddle up together every night and groom each other. Murphy puts his paws round Bailey as they sleep.

They are very nice-natured dogs, but can have their giddy moments at times.

Plus, they are in fantastic condition and behave like dogs half their age.

 

'These two must be rehomed together' 

The dogs arrived at the centre in March this year when their previous owner could no longer care for them due to working long hours.

They were reserved by potential new owners, but it fell through at the last minute.

Richard added:

Normally we would split dogs after such a long time, however we have decided these two must be rehomed together.

Can you help?

Murphy and Bailey can be rehomed with other animals and children over five years old.
