A devoted doggy-duo are looking for their forever home after their owner passed away.
Loved-up Silky, 10, and Tammy, eight, are a pair of crossbreed dogs who were handed in to Dogs Trust in November of last year. They are two best friends who offer each other confidence and companionship following their devastating loss.
Their current foster carers describe the duo as “quiet and loveable house guests who are affectionate with people and each other,” making them the perfect addition to a quiet home with no other dogs and potentially children over the age of 14. Patience and kindness are strictly required for this loving pair.
Alex Hennessey, manager at Dogs Trust Darlington Rehoming Centre said: “It’s always very sad when dogs come into our care after their owner’s pass away. It’s such an unsettling time for any dog as they don’t understand what is happening and can take time to adjust to kennels or a foster home.
“Being together is everything to Silky and Tammy. They love each other and so we must find them a home where they can remain as a pair.
“We have limited information about their past life, however we were told they lived in a barn on a farm and led sheltered lives. They have adapted well to life in a foster home where they are affectionate and enjoy a fuss.
“They both love their food and treats, maybe a little too much, so we are keeping a close eye on their waistlines at present. There is no doubt, having each other helps them in life.

“All dogs want to love and be loved and so we feel Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to tell people about Silky and Tammy who will bring double the love into their new owner’s life. We urge anyone interested in keeping this love match together to get in touch.”
