Mums of the week 

Image
Lahni
Mum of the Week: Lahni

ID A123369

It’s our Mother’s Day pets of the week edition, and we have two sensational mums here waiting to be adopted. These ladies have shown the toughness, resilience and love that a mum shows, and now they’re ready to be pampered.

Lahni’s litter was adopted from us last year – you might recall the ‘Flintstones’ litter – an adorable troupe of love, all well-mannered and respectful, thanks to Lahni.

Lahni is cautious at first, but as soon as she trusts you, you’ll know. Her licks and hugs will remind you of your mum putting a Band-Aid on your knee when you were six years old.

She’s a good learner, but don’t adopt her because she’s a mum – adopt her because you’ll enjoy a lifetime of warmth and love.

Merida
Mum of the week: Merida

ID A123274

Merida has become a favourite of our team. She’s such a joy to see, she’s always happy to see you, just like a good mum.

Merida shows those motherly traits, like putting your happiness before her own. She’ll greet you with a toy, because getting a toy is what makes her feel good and she wants you to feel the same.

Merida’s litter was adopted from us last year, perhaps you remember the ‘Scottish’ named litter? All sweet, adorable and well-mannered.

Merida is a sweetheart who desperately wants a home of her own and a family to love and play with. Come and adopt this mum with a heart of gold.
