My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Kola and Kricket are not just any dogs; they are a bonded pair duo with a story that deserves to be told. After being adopted in 2016, they spent eight wonderful years in a loving home. Sadly, their world was turned upside down when their beloved owner passed away, leading them back to the shelter and leaving them searching for a chance at a new beginning.

At 13 years old, Kola has seen a lot in his life. He may be a senior, but his spirit is as vibrant as ever. With a heart full of love, he craves connection and is always eager to engage with those around him. Kola is a gentle giant, known for his playful nature and his love of belly rubs. He embodies the resilience that comes with time, reminding us all that joy can be found no matter the circumstances.Kricket, his devoted sister, is 11 years old and has a calm demeanor that perfectly complements Kola`s playful energy. While she may take a little longer to warm up, once she does, her affection knows no bounds.

Kricket has stood by Kola’s side through thick and thin, offering him comfort and companionship throughout their journey. She is a testament to the bond that can only exist between a bonded pair, and together, they have faced life`s challenges head-on.

Kola is Kricket`s main squeeze, but we recently introduced her to some other calm male and female dogs and she did just fine.   Check out her playgroup video here:
