Tilly and her brother Preston are looking for a new home. Can you help them.

"I am a big lover of all things treats and cuddles, and will win you over the first chance I get! My brother and I haven't had the best life before arriving at the SPCA but have since had a bit of a makeover and are feeling better as each day passes. We love having the human companionship and comfort of home life but it doesn't compare to the real thing! Now is the time where we are ready to find a home who is committed to dog ownership and all it involves. I am not suited to a home with cats or smaller animals. I would prefer a home either with my brother Preston or by myself. If I do go home by myself, I'd want someone home part time or full time. I am not keen on places like dog parks or daycare. To be honest, the perfect day would be a nice walk then lazing at home! I'm more comfortable with adults or teenage children than little humans."

Something a bit different this week. I am not sure where Chilli is from but her owner Joy is very proud of her.
"This is my 25year old Chinchilla called Chilli. She is a Standard grey colour, and she is the sweetest wee girl, who loves her cuddles and snuggles with Mum, and loves pats and tickles from all of our family. Its very very rare to have a Chinchilla who loves to be touched as much as she does. She is a rescue who came from people who didn't know how to properly care for her. Her favorite treats are dried Red rose petals, dried rose buds and most of all, her Apple sticks. I love her so much."
