Dog companion wanted
I would like to offer a loving home to a canine companion for my dog Grace, who is a lovely natured 7-year-old Bichon X Jack Russell. Grace (pictured) has always been part of a two-dog family, and since having to put Rocky (15 years old) to sleep in February, we are both lost.
I prefer a small-medium breed, not needing excessive grooming, or excessive exercise, though daily walks on the beach are the norm. I’m not wanting barkers or ones with aggressive or antisocial behavior, and I would like to view your vet’s records.
I am retired and spend most of the day at home. Most of my dogs have been ‘rescued’ and I am used to gently easing them into our quiet lifestyle.
It would have to share with two friendly cats on a small well fenced back section close to the beach.
A trial period would be required, but a spoilt inside life is guaranteed.
