A Bonded Pair of dogs is a pair of dogs that want to stay together.
They either came to us as a pair (for example were surrendered or abandoned together) or have formed a close bond whilst in our shelter and do not like being separated from each other.

Please note we will not split up a Bonded Pair, nor adopt one out without the other.
