Abandoned best pals seek new home together

The ISPCA is appealing for a home for a pair of dogs after the adorable pals were abandoned when their former owners moved home.

Herbert and Ellie are young dogs, believed to be around four to five years-of-age. Herbert is a German Shepherd and Ellie is a Collie.

The ISPCA has decided to rehome the two dogs together as to force them apart into separate homes would be devastating for Herbert and Ellie, who are inseparable.

ISPCA Inspector Fiona Conlon explained: “These two dogs are absolutely beautiful and have great temperaments. They love the outdoors and enjoy getting out for walks. It is totally shocking to think that somebody left these two lovely dogs behind. Pet owners have a legal responsibility to care for their animals, even if they are moving house, so there is no excuse for abandoning these dogs to fend for themselves.”

If you think you could offer this duo the kind, loving home they deserve, call the ISPCA National Animal Centre on 043-3325035 or email [email protected].  For more information, visit www.ispca.ie/rehoming/
