Breakin' up is hard to do...

Ernie & Bert both appeared on Close Up last night - as the SPCA has had no luck finding a home for loveable Bert - and the response has been amazing. We knew if we could touch the hearts of those caring people we would receive lots of offers to give Bert a home.

The SPCA is currently processing all the applications and will be in touch with all suitable candidates as soon as possible. Ernie is still recuperating from his second knee operation and is doing extremely well but will not be ready to be adopted for at least four weeks. The applications received will apply to Ernie also, so these will be held until he is ready to go.

The decision has been made that these two boys will not be rehomed together as they are now completely different dogs from when they arrived at the village and their personalities have changed quite a lot. We feel it is in the dogs best interest to go to separate homes, where they can both start a new life with a new family.

If you are wishing to put forward an application to adopt one of these dogs, please send your application through on the link provided. Many thanks to the Close Up team for assisting us and following Bert and Ernie's journey and thank you to all those people who have put their names forward.

We will keep in touch.
