This little duo is Itchy (Male – Black) and Scratchy (Female - Tricolour), who are 12-week-old Jackapoo puppies that after a rough start in life, are looking for new homes to fill with fun and mischief. We are looking to rehome them individually.

As you can see, these little bundles coats are looking a bit bare, this was due to a nasty skin condition which was treated upon their arrival to the centre. They are now beginning to grow back some fluff, and we can’t wait to see their scruffy coats in full bloom!

Itchy and Scratchy came into our care at a crucial age in terms of training and development and hadn’t seen much of the big wide world prior to this so they were initially overwhelmed by all the new sights, smells and experiences. They are now slowly coming out of their shells and love to interact and play with our team and volunteers. Their new family would need to be invested in their development and ongoing training and socialisation so they can be the best versions of themselves.

We have been slowly and carefully introducing them to other dogs, which is something that their new owners will be encouraged to continue. It is possible that the puppies will be able to live with other dogs following a successful introduction. Due to their playful and affectionate nature, we would be happy for them to share their home with children. They could also potentially share their homes with cats, as long as their new family are willing to work with introducing and learning manners around them.
