AN animal sanctuary is desperately seeking a home for two depressed and inseparable dogs.

Ferne Animal Sanctuary, in Wambrook, is even throwing in some incentives by covering in all veterinary costs, vaccinations and worming and flea treatments.

And they will also supply collars, leads, bowls, beds, toys, treats and six months supply of food, while the adoption fee will be waived.

Tara Nirula, acting head of animal care, said: “Lola and Sherman have both experienced neglect in the past and have been at Ferne for over 18 months now.

“They are urgently in need of a new loving home where they can be together for the rest of their lives.”

Although the dogs did not originally arrive at the sanctuary at the same time, it was love at first sight and they are now inseparable.

Tara added: “When Lola came back from the vets after being neutered she was put in a different kennel for recovery.

“Sherman was devastated at being separated from her and could be heard howling across the whole sanctuary. She was then put in a crate within his kennel and he immediately calmed down.

“If either of them is walked individually, the remaining dog will lie in their bed sulking until the other returns. They always share a bed.”

Lola and Sherman are very friendly and need an owner who can give them lots of attention as they love human company.

Tara said: “They are very gentle, affectionate dogs who enjoy having lots of cuddles.

“They would be more suited to a rural home with plenty of space as they love bounding around and playing together.

“They are house-trained, not destructive and are fine travelling in the car.

“They’ve been at Ferne Animal Sanctuary for a long time and have started to get quite depressed.

“They are often seen lying down with their heads in their paws. It is heart breaking to see, as they are normally such loveable, happy dogs.”
