🥔Pringle & Pico🍫

Pringle (6) and Pico (4) arrived as the last pair from the mass surrender we helped earlier this year. We wanted to ensure that they had time and space to decompress so they have spent the past few months enjoying their foster home, learning what it’s like to live in a house and being allowed to turn into the weirdos that they have shown us to be.

Pico is a mischievous young lad who has a penchant for exploring. This includes benchtops, boxes, bags or blankets, they are all his to investigate! He also loves water and his main victim is his water bowl where he likes to put both his front paws into it and dig around.

Pico is addicted to Greenies dental treats and manages to find entertainment no matter what’s going on. Fish in the tank, birds out the window, people walking past and even watching food go around and around in the microwave.

He is still building confidence but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t like you. If you go to another room he'll follow you, go to the toilet - he's waiting outside for you. He is happy for you to keep him company while he eats his snacks and will come and hang out for a nap in the loungeroom while you watch tv. He is even happy to have visitors arrive as long as they are also calm and quiet (no regular young kid visitors please).

Pringle didn’t take long in his foster home to decide that he was the more confident of the pair. He was ready to look around the house, explore where the humans sleep and start to show how affectionate he wanted to be.

Over the past few months he has shown what a loving, young boy he is and his life’s passion is a comfy couch and someone to pat him all day long. He has recently discovered the joy of sitting in laps or finding a spare spot on your bed at night. So a family who are keen for at least one snuggle bug is essential. He is also a big fan of pouch treats but care needs to be taken so that he doesn’t put on too much weight.

The boys love each other so we are looking for a home that is ready to welcome them both, quirks and all. Both boys will thrive in an indoor home with predictability where it is calm and quiet. Respectful teenage kids are fine with them but an all-adult home would also be suitable. Neither enjoy being picked up, carried or having their feet touched (who does?!) but a patient home where they are willing to build trust so that they can be brushed and have their nails cut is essential.

Pico and Pringle are desexed, microchipped and up to date with their vaccinations and parasite treatments. They are in care in Cranbourne and taking applications from Victorian based homes only. Their adoption fee has been reduced from our usual fee as our pound partner has covered the cost of the majority of their vet work.
