“Modern day Chuckle brothers” on hunt for north-east homes

Two dogs described as the “modern day Chuckle brothers” are looking for new homes in the north-east.

Staffies McCoy and Junior have become the best of friends at the Scottish SPCA’s Aberdeenshire animal rescue and rehoming centre in Drumoak.

And now staff are hoping to find the pair a home together.

McCoy is the longest resident at the centre, having spent 425 days there, while Junior is second with 160 days.

But staff say he is a bubbly dog that can cheer anyone up, while Junior is loves affection.

Graeme Innes, centre manager, said: “While searching for a home in kennels, sometimes it can be lonely. Luckily McCoy and Junior have found each other.

“These cheeky chaps are the modern day Chuckle Brothers and enjoy being silly together. At the end of a walk or play session they like to sit down and have a good snuggle session.”

Mr Innes added he was hopeful the pair could be kept together, but that the team would still be prepared to rehome them separately too.

“Both McCoy and Junior been very unlucky in life and all they are asking for is a clean break,” he said.

“They are the best of friends but are always very eager to expand their social circle and make exciting new buddies.

“We know it might be a big ask for someone to take on them both so we’d still be interested in hearing from people who can offer just one of them a home.”

Anyone who is interested in giving them a new home can contact the centre on 0300 0999 999.
