Elderly dogs find forever home after being turned down because of their age

Sheba and Teddy, both 17, were taken into the care of the Dogs Trust after their owner died

A rescue centre’s oldest-ever pair of dogs with a combined age of 34 have finally found their forever home after they were previously overlooked for being too elderly.

Collie crosses, Sheba and Teddy, both aged 17, were taken into the care of the Dogs Trust in Evesham, Worcs, after their owner died in November last year.

However, nobody came forward to give the adorable pooches the retirement home they needed after they were repeatedly turned down due to their age.
