Covie (left) Male Pomski 5 Years Nala (right) Female Pomski 3 Years A very sad set of circumstances led to this little duos surrender- Covie is very attached to Nala and seems to struggle without her. We would like to keep these guys together. While Nala has been a little dream with us Covie has certainly struggled with all the recent upheaval in his life. Keeping his circle small and making things as predictable and consistent as we can has allowed us to form the beginnings of a lovely wee relationship with Covie. This will be essential for his new owner to repeat and respect the fact that both dogs will need time to decompress after their stressful rescue stay which has included time in both the pound and the sanctuary. Nala has the cutest and cheekiest face we might have ever seen and she knows it. Covie and Nala could live with children aged 13 + years who have a sensible approach to dogs. Covie and Nala may be able to live with another dog pending successful meet and greets.
