Dieting for legged friends appealing to Redditch residents for a new home

Correspondent 1st May, 2017   0

A PLUS-sized doggy double act who are completely inseparable are on the lookout for a new home.

Cocker Spaniels, seven-year-old Lexi and eight-year-old Sally, are a little on the heavy side, tipping the scales at a combined 40kg, so are on a special doggy diet to help them shift the pounds, say staff at the Dogs Trust, evesham.

They are already doing well on their weight loss journey and still get to enjoy the occasional healthy treat such as carrots and sweet potato. But they need to lose approximately 10kgs between them so are looking for new owners to continue with their healthy diet and exercise regime.

The delightful duo found themselves in the care of Dogs Trust after their owner was sadly no longer able to care for them. They are enjoying time with their foster family through the charity’s Home from Home scheme but are keeping their paws firmly crossed that their forever home is out there somewhere.




Sarah Fortey, Home from Home Co-ordinator at Dogs Trust Evesham, said: “We hope Lexi and Sally don’t spend too long waiting for their special someone as they are super dogs with so much love to give.

“They could both do with shedding some pounds so they are on a strict diet, but they are very happy, sociable dogs and really do bring out the best in each other, so we are looking to keep them together as they seem to enjoy their life in each other’s company.”

Dogs Trust Evesham is always looking for foster carers to temporarily care for dogs of all ages and sizes. If you are interested in fostering dogs like Lexi and Sally whilst they wait to be adopted, please contact Sarah Fortey at Dogs Trust Evesham on [email protected]
