A little bit about me
Casper is a sweet, gentle soul who just needs a little time to come out of his shell. Once he feels safe, his playful side shines through—especially when he’s romping around with other dogs! He absolutely loves canine friends and would thrive in a home that can guide him, build his confidence, and show him how wonderful the world can be. Casper has all the makings of an incredible companion. With patience, kindness, and a family willing to help him blossom, he’ll reward you with loyalty, love, and a lifetime of companionship.

Tonky

The Legend of Tonky (Professional Hose Chaser)

Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier X
Gender: Male
Age: 1 year
Vet work completed: Vet checked, desexed, microchipped, wormed and had 1st vaccination.

A little bit about me
Once upon a time there was a big, lovable goofball named Tonky who discovered two very important things in life: Water is AMAZING. Humans are even better. Tonky firmly believes the hose was invented purely for his entertainment. Turn it on and you’ll witness elite-level athleticism… followed by joyful chaos… followed by a very proud, very wet dog. When he’s not starring in his own backyard water show, Tonky can be found tossing toys around, zooming with his playful dog friends, or leaning gently against his people just to make sure they’re still there (quality control is important). He’s a social guy who loves other fun-loving dogs and adores humans of all kinds. But more than anything, Tonky just wants to be part of your world. Whether that’s summer adventures, weekend hangs, or simply being your shadow around the house. He’s not asking for much. Just a spirit human who appreciates a bit of splash, a lot of love, and daily doses of happy vibes. If your life could use more laughter (and possibly a slightly damp backyard), Tonky is ready to apply for the position of Best Friend. 🐾💙
