The four-year-old tan cross-breeds have been together since birth and unfortunately, have had a difficult start to their lives.

They are nicknamed "the girls" and really depend on each other so staff at the Shoreham Dogs Trust Rehoming Centre are desperate to keep the pair together.

Centre manager Tracey Rae said: "The rate at which these girls have improved is just astonishing. It was very distressing to see them so lacking in confidence but they are almost unrecognisable now to the girls that walked through the front doors.

"They just need the right home with new owners who understand that they will need to be given the time and space to learn to trust them at their own pace.

"These lovely girls can live with other dogs, the staff are unsure how they are with cats, but are willing to test and, due to the fact that they are still anxious in new situations, cannot live with children under the age of 16."
