Pair of pooches looking for love

Kessy and Buster, both long-term residents at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary near North Anston, are wagging their tails in excitement to give visitors a loving cuddle.

Hannah Briggs, Thornberry Animal Sanctuary's Kennel and Yard Manager, said: “Even though we aren’t meant to have favourites, because Kessy and Buster have so much love to give they have stolen all our hearts — and they will steal yours too this Valentine’s Day.

“As much as we'd be sad to see them leave we are desperate to find them a loving forever home together.”

Laura Dyer, Kennel Assistant, said: “Kessy and Buster found themselves at Thornberry as a last resort nearly a year ago as another home couldn’t be found for the inseparable pair following the sudden death of their previous owner.

“These two absolutely love people to bits and would be the perfect addition to someone’s family.”

Animal lovers are invited to head to Thornberry on Sunday between 11am and 3pm to give the pair of pooches a cuddle.

You can leave a message to a loved one on a heart to hang on a dog, cat or rabbit pen while they await their forever homes and there’s also the opportunity to win your pet's paw print being immortalised on a silver charm.
