Lesvos dogs in need of new homes

From Scotland to France: three dogs, three rabbits and a chinchilla

Deb and Ian used to run a B&B near picturesque Loch Lomond. Now they're off to do the same in France's delightful Dordogne region.

Deb was sad not to take them to France, but felt that leaving them behind — however reluctantly — was the right decision. She told us: "Blood tests etc would be a lot for the girls to go through when I know they will be well looked [...]
