This lady would like both dogs to be homed together and we are looking for a kind indoor home for these two pals, who are inseparable. They are both house trained and very well behaved. They will need a home where there is someone at home during the daytime and where they will live as one of the family.

Judy is approx 5-6 year old mixed breed female. She was knocked down and found left on the roadside to die. She had to have an operation where her left eye was removed. The fact she lost one eye does not seem to bother her as she is a very happy friendly dog. She is not used to other dogs so we feel she would prefer to be rehomed where there are none. She would make a great companion to almost anyone as she has a lot of love to give and loves people, She is also house trained. Judy loves spending time in the garden/outdoors. Judy is based in Co. Laois CONTACT: (086 0594375) email
