Thank you for rescuing her and giving her a loving home.
“Lots of you asking the breed, we know the mum was a cockerpoo, the dad is unknown. She is only 12 weeks old. She has a lovely calm temperament and is great with girls, she likes to be held and cuddles. She’s teething at the moment so all shoes are off the ground.”
