Meet Branston – One Very Special Gentleman Looking for His Own Happy Ever After! 🐾

Hello there! I’m Branston, and I’ve got a little story to tell you…

Well, hello! It’s me, Branston. You might remember me as one half of the famous Chutneys – Branston & Pickle! We were quite the double act, weren’t we? Two Pointers, two cheeky personalities and enough love between us to fill a rather large dog bed!

But today, I’m stepping out on my own four paws because I’ve got a new chapter to begin, and I’m hoping there’s someone very special out there who might like to be part of it.

Before I tell you about my new adventure, though, I think it’s only fair that I explain a little bit about my lovely Pickle.

💔 A little change of plans for the Chutneys…

Pickle and I have been through an awful lot together. We were found abandoned in the Spanish countryside, thin, vulnerable and trying to make sense of a rather big and frightening world. We stuck together, looked after one another and became the very best of friends.

When we arrived in the UK, we thought our happy ending had finally arrived. Sadly, life had other plans, and we found ourselves looking for another home.

The lovely PRS team had always hoped we could find a home together. After all, we have shared so much of our journey, and saying goodbye to my little Pickle is certainly not something I ever imagined.

However, after lots of discussion, thought and careful consideration, the PRS team feel that we may actually thrive better if we have the opportunity to grow and develop individually, with different canine companions.

And there’s some lovely news for Pickle!

Her original mummy has been in touch and her circumstances have changed once again. She has asked if Pickle can come home to her. The PRS team have always known that she was a good and loving home for Pickle, so they are very happy to support this reunion.

I’m going to miss my little Pickle terribly. She’s been my partner in crime, my travelling companion and my little shadow. We’ve been through everything together, and I suspect I’ll be looking around for her for quite some time.

But I’ve been promised that the lovely PRS team will keep in touch with Pickle and make sure I don’t miss out on hearing how she’s getting on. I shall definitely be expecting updates, photographs and perhaps the occasional postcard!

And who knows? Maybe our paths will cross again one day.

For now, I have to trust that the people who love us and have looked after us know what’s best for both of us. Sometimes loving someone means giving them the opportunity to find their own happiness.

So, a little bit about ME!

I’m Branston, a rather handsome, charming and affectionate chap, born on 14 January 2023.

I’m a real people person. I absolutely adore human company, enjoy a fuss, love a cuddle and have a rather impressive talent for finding the comfiest spot on the sofa.

In fact, I think I’m something of a professional sofa companion!

I’m a gentle soul with a heart of gold, and I really do enjoy being around people. I’m house-trained, clever and generally a very good boy.

I love getting out and about, meeting my doggy friends and having a good run around in a secure field. I’ve enjoyed my time at doggy daycare and have shown that I can be a very sociable chap.

I’m also a little bundle of energy when there’s an adventure to be had, but I equally appreciate a lovely snooze afterwards.

🐾 My dream companion…

Now, here’s something the PRS team and I have been chatting about.

I’d really love a home where I could have a slightly older female doggy companion.

Someone who is a little more mature, perhaps a confident and friendly lady who could show me a few things about life, help me discover new experiences and give me a little guidance along the way.

I think having a lovely canine friend to learn from would be wonderful. Someone to share the garden with, enjoy walks together and perhaps have the occasional game with.

I’m not looking for a new Pickle – nobody could ever replace her. But I do think there’s room in my heart to make another special friendship.

The team would, of course, want to make sure we were a good match, with careful introductions and plenty of time for everyone to get to know one another.

My pawfect forever home…

I’m looking for a loving, settled home with people who have plenty of time for me.

Ideally, I’d love:

💙 A little more life experience: A friendly, slightly older female dog would be lovely company and could help me continue learning about the world.

💙 Lots of human love: I adore people and would love a family who enjoys having a four-legged shadow following them around.

💙 Lovely walks and adventures: I’m an active Pointer, so countryside walks, interesting sniffing opportunities and secure field runs would make me very happy.

💙 Time to settle: I’ve experienced a few changes in my young life, so I’d appreciate a patient family who understands that finding my feet in a new home takes time.

💙 A comfortable sofa: Well, let’s not pretend that’s negotiable! I do rather enjoy my creature comforts.

A rural or semi-rural home would be wonderful, with secure outdoor space and people who understand the needs of a Pointer.

A little promise from me…

I know I’ve got some changes ahead, and I won’t pretend that saying goodbye to Pickle will be easy.

She’s been my little sidekick, and I’ll always have a special place in my heart for her.

But I’m a positive chap, and I believe there are still lots of wonderful things waiting for me. New adventures, new friends, new places to explore and, hopefully, a lovely older lady dog who might just show me a few new tricks!

I’m ready to be someone’s special boy. To have a family of my own, to be loved for who I am and to finally have the stability and happiness I’ve been waiting for.

So, if you’ve got room in your heart and on your sofa for a rather handsome Pointer gentleman, perhaps you’d consider giving me a chance?

I promise to bring plenty of love, waggy tails, cuddles and a little bit of Branston magic into your life.

And Pickle? Well, she’ll always be my little pickle. 🥒

With love, hopeful paws and a very big tail wag,

Branston 💙

AKA one half of The Chutneys, now ready to write his own happy ending.

I’m ready for my next adventure. Could that be with you?
