TWO loveable canines have found their forever home with a Tarbolton couple.

Foxy and Sasha, who have spent their whole lives together, have been reunited after being rehomed by David and Janine Young.

The hounds had been residents at Dogs Trust Glasgow for a couple of months before Sasha found her forever home, while Foxy waited patiently to be picked by suitable owners.

Ayr Advertiser:

David and Janine hadn’t been looking for another pet when they noticed three-year-old German Shepherd, Foxy, was still a resident at the Glasgow Rehoming Centre on the Dogs Trust website a couple of weeks later.

Knowing that Sasha and Foxy had been together for a long time, they decided there was no better place for Foxy than by Sasha’s side in their home.

David Young said: “We talked about the decision before jumping straight in and rehoming Foxy because it is a big commitment.

“She is absolutely gorgeous and has such a good temperament so our decision was based on whether we could manage two dogs as we had already fallen in love with her.

“When Foxy and Sasha met again it was so heart-warming and you could tell how close they must have been and how excited they were to see each other again.

“Sasha has been a big help in getting Foxy settled at home; she is very comfortable in her new surroundings and couldn’t be happier now she is back with her best friend.”

Sandra Lawton, Rehoming Centre Manager at Dogs Trust Glasgow, added: “We couldn’t ask for a better outcome for Foxy and stories like this highlight just how passionate supporters of Dogs Trust are.

“The team wish Foxy and Sasha all the best in their new home together and we hope to stay in touch with David and Janine to find out how they are getting on. 

“We would always recommend thinking carefully about adopting more than one dog, like David and Janine.

“There are many factors to consider before getting another dog, including understanding each dog’s unique personality and any special requirements at home; character traits of the breed and the additional expense.”
