An inseparable pair of pooches are looking for a new place to call home.
Maxie and Meika, two Staffordshire Bull Terriers who have lived most of their lives together, recently came into the care of Dogs Trust’s Rehoming Centre in West Calder.
And now they are looking for a loving owner to give them both a home where they can spend their twilight years together, as their combined age of 23 makes them around 130 in human years.
Canine carers at the centre want to keep them together in their new home and are appealing for potential owners to come forward who can give double the love.
During their time at the centre, Maxie and Meika’s strong bond and the fact they get on well with each other has earned them new nicknames amongst the team – Peanut and Jelly.
Just like the classic combination of peanut butter and jelly, Meika, nicknamed Peanut, and Maxie, Jelly, are at their best when they are together.
Peanut is incredibly sweet and lovable, and she is certainly the more outgoing and confident of this doggy duo and will be the first to greet new people with a waggy tail.
Meanwhile Maxie, also known as Jelly, lives up to his nickname with his little jelly legs.
He is a bit older than Peanut and a little more unsure of the world and he looks to his best friend for reassurance and support.
Susan Tonner, rehoming centre manager at Dogs Trust West Calder, said: “As well as going on all their walks together, Maxie and Meika are the best companions and love cuddling up for a snooze together at the end of the day. Maxie, especially, looks to Meika for a little more reassurance and this helps with his confidence.
“They would love to find a home with a secure garden, so they can potter around; and could easily live with children over the age of 12. They would, however, prefer to be the only pets in the home as they can be a little unsure around other dogs.”
If you believe a dog is for life – in this case two dogs – and want to welcome Maxie and Meika into your family, call the West Calder Rehoming Centre on 01506 536840.
