Their breed makes them famously loyal companion dogs for humans, but one French bulldog is hoping to find a forever home with his best friend.

Cork Dog Action Welfare is appealing for an animal lover to take in a pair of Frenchies who can’t bear to be apart.

Eight-year-old Roco and four-year-old Ruby are loving and affectionate dogs who are fully house trained and ready to leave the care of the shelter.

Through no fault of their own, a number of rehoming offers for Roco and Ruby have fallen through.

They have not shared their home with children or other dogs in the past so, according to shelter staff, they would do best as the only animals in a child-free home.

French bulldogs typically love to play, but they are also happy to lounge on the sofa. A few short walks at different parts of the day is all they need to keep them fit, but they do not enjoy being left alone so they will need a home where they will have human company for most of the day.

If you would like to meet Roco and Ruby, call Margaret on 085 125 1929.

With over 70 dogs and puppies to look after, Cork DAWG’s vet bills are a constant challenge. Donate €4 by texting CDAWG to 50300.
