TWO very special dogs now at Aspen Valley Kennels in West End, Oswaldtwistle, are in urgent need of new homes.

Tess is a six-year-old tan and white mongrel whose owner had to part with her because of illness.

She is described as "very gentle" but a bit shy of other dogs after she was bitten as a puppy.

Meanwhile collie cross Candy came to the kennels as a stray, and even though she has a deformed paw enjoys life and wants to be loved.

If you can help, call into the kennels or ring 01254 233702 daily between 11am and 4pm.
