Meet Layla
A Mini Fox Terrier, Layla is a senior dog, but you would never know it given her adventurous spirit and sweet quiet nature. With a love of travelling this loveable pooch is 10 years young and is at her best when sitting with her family in the RV, exploring new terrain and getting out on the open road. A loyal and trustworthy dog, Layla stays close to her humans at all times and her good behaviour is often met with reward when she is given her favourite treat; a tasty milk stick.
Meet Lucy
Lucy is a Mini Fox Terrier, and at the ripe old age of 14, Lucy loves nothing more than a well-deserved sleep. Pet parents Pat and Tracy both head up the accounts department and Pat himself has been with Ocean Rafting for seventeen years – all of Lucy’s life. Lucy will eat anything and loves alerting her pawrents when its treat time. She is a fantastic companion, and loves to spend time with her family. Despite being a tired girl now, Lucy joined the family as a bundle of fun and happiness in crate despite her delayed travels.
Meet Peanut
If you like running and zooming, Peanut is your kind of girl. Peanut is a happy, springy and bouncy six-month-old Italian Greyhound, who is exceptionally loving and intelligent and is sure to give you a run for your money in a race. Peanut belongs to Jan, owner of Ocean Rafting since 2001, and likes to give her quite the workout. Peanut loves a training treat as she is still a puppy. The family love making new memories with their lively pup, and while Peanut isn't running around, she definitely enjoys the compawny of her loving parents.
Meet Roofus and Jethro
