Are you right for Brittany?

Brittany and Tiffany are a pair of 3 year old loveable Labrador sisters, who are closely bonded and ideally need to be rehomed together. These two friendly Labradors would thrive in a home on the outskirts of a city or in a small town, with access to a secure garden where they can enjoy off-lead time. They can be strong on the lead and will need adopters who are committed to continuing their training and gradually building up their fitness as they lose weight and gain stamina. Both girls can cope with walking along busier roads but would benefit from steady exposure to more built-up environments over time. Their bouncy, excitable greetings mean they would be best suited to families with confident children who won’t be unsettled by a little jumping up while their manners continue to improve. They are friendly with new people, happy to have visitors, travel well in the car, and could potentially live with another dog following successful introductions at the centre.

Is Brittany right for you?

Brittany is a classic friendly Labrador with a huge heart and an even bigger love of fuss. She greets the world with a wagging tail, often popping up on her hind legs to say hello before melting into cuddles. She hasn’t had much exposure to new situations, so everything still feels very exciting, but she approaches life with confidence and curiosity. She loves her toys and will happily swap them over, making playtime a joy. She travels brilliantly in the car, even on longer journeys, and once her fitness improves she will make a wonderful walking companion for countryside strolls and family adventures. Brittany is full of warmth and enthusiasm, ready to blossom with a family who will guide her and enjoy her zest for life.
