An elderly pair of best friends are in need of a loving retirement home together.

Golden oldies Tara (12) and Cracker (10) have grown up side by side, but when their owner was no longer able to look after them due to a sudden change in circumstances, they found themselves in the care of Cork Dog Action Welfare (DAWG).

Volunteers at the shelter often find it difficult to re-home solo dogs, so finding a person willing to take on two canine besties at once is a tall order.

However, this twosome is completely inseparable, so much so that Cracker is now very insecure whenever Tara is not around and they rely on each other for comfort and reassurance.

The adorable pair of OAPs would suit someone who enjoys the odd ramble around the park (they only need small strolls to stretch their legs). Apart from that, their main requirement is somewhere cosy where they can doze away the day together.

What these two lack in energy they more than make up for in personality so the person who takes them in will be a lucky human indeed.
