Meet Boots & Socks
A devoted bonded pair, both aged 8, searching for their happy ever after home 🏡
These two may not be littermates, but they’ve shared their whole lives side by side… and where one goes, the other follows 💞
They sleep curled up together, finding comfort in each other – their bond is truly unbreakable.
🌿 After a quiet and sheltered start in life, they are now discovering the world for the very first time…
And what a journey it’s been! From country walks to village strolls and vet visits, they are blossoming beautifully in foster care in rural Devon 🌼
What Makes Them Special?
🐶 Loving, gentle, and affectionate
🐶 A perfectly bonded pair
🐶 Enjoy exploring the countryside together
🐶 Full of quiet charm and loyalty
Boots & Socks Introduce Themselves!
‘Hello! My name is Boots and my best friend is Socks. We’ve been together since puppies and sleep cuddled up and go for walks together. I’m really enjoying the garden and my waistline is reducing! I’m quite the handsome chap. When I slim down a little more I need to have some dental work, the lovely people at the PDWRA will be covering the cost. I’ve pretty much remembered my housetraining now with only an occasional lapse when things are extra exciting. I’m very lovable and loving, but I can be shy with strange men until I get to know them. I’ve met children here and they’re ok! I like lots of attention and cuddles so would prefer to live with just Socks. My foster family think we are both adorable!’
‘Hello! I’m Socks and I’d be really pleased to meet you! I’ve led a bit of a sheltered life up until now but a few weeks ago I came into foster with my best friend Boots. I have 5 more new friends and a garden, which was a bit overwhelming to begin, with but now I’m blossoming! I’ve remembered my housetraining, lost a few pounds and learnt how to live with others. I quite like to be top dog really and prefer to only share the attention with Boots. I like my humans to be around mostly and sometimes I can be vocal but I’m getting better with that. I’m in good health, lively, enjoy walks with Boots and meeting new people! And I’m still only 8 yrs old! Could we both come and live with you?’
A Few Things To Know:
- They’d love a home with plenty of human company
- Socks is a chatty girl and may bark when left
- Boots can be a little unsure of men at first, but settles with time
- Best suited as the only dogs in the home
Boots will need a dental once he’s shed a couple of kilos – this will be fully covered by PDWRA 🩺
Could you give these two the loving home they’ve never truly had? 🏡 They’ve spent their lives side by side… now they just need someone to share it with.

Meet Eric & Ernie – a beautiful bonded pair who share everything… from naps in the sunshine to quiet moments side by side.
These two aren’t just companions – they’re family. And after everything they’ve been through, they’re searching for a forever home together.
✨ Why they’re so special
🐶 Inseparable best friends
🐶 Gentle, loving, and loyal
🐶 Twice the cuddles, twice the joy
🐶 A ready-made duo to fill your home with warmth
💔 The hardest part?
Bonded pairs are often overlooked… but separating them isn’t an option. Their connection is their comfort, their confidence, their world.
🏡 Could you be their world now?
Eric & Ernie are litter brothers, born on the 1st April 2022. They are very energetic young pugs who would not suit a family with children under 10 years. They love to play with each other and are equally sociable with other dogs. When playtime is over they will snuggle up with each other and any handy human. House trained, and they have some basic training which they would benefit from building on. They have no health conditions and have recently been neutered. They are currently in foster on the London/Essex border.
If you have room in your heart and home for two devoted souls, Eric & Ernie will reward you with a lifetime of love, laughter, and companionship.

These two girls are unrelated but do have a special bond. Elsie is the older of the two at 10 years and Ella at 7 years. They have both undergone medical procedures and are now fit to be rehomed. Both have also been neutered.
They are looking for a home with or without other dogs. They have lived with another dog before.
They are tolerant of cats but shouldn’t live with young children under 10 years as they can jump up at them.
Elsie, is the ultimate lap dog and companion who loves a good tummy rub. Due to the circumstances of her previous life, she is inclined to scavenge when you’re not at home – bins need to be out of reach and cupboards secured!
They both love a cuddle and are very happy to be at home, but do like a couple of short walks a day, although Ella does lack confidence and stays close to you.
Ella suffers from separation anxiety and always likes to know there is someone around. She may also have the odd accident in the house if she gets over excited.
She is very affectionate though and loves meeting people but is of a nervous disposition so can get anxious around larger dogs. She generally loves her humans more than other dogs.
