Wanted: Loving Owners

THE CHESHIRE Dogs’ Home is looking for special people to adopt three of its long-stay residents. All of these three dogs are very affectionate and friendly but often it is the case that when puppies are available for rehoming, the older dogs don’t get a look in. These dogs have a lot to offer:

‘Spike’ - is a brindle and white, medium sized, male, cross border collie. He is only 18 months old. He has been at the Home since 8th September 2000 - 10 months. Spike likes playing football, he is good on the lead, very affectionate and gets on well with other dogs. Spike is a little nervous at first but he is friendly and affectionate. He likes both men and women. He would make a very good companion for some lucky person.

‘Toby’ is a tan all over, medium sized, male dog. He is about 4 years old and he, too, had been at the home for ten months. Toby would prefer to be the only dog in someone’s life. Although he does like bitches, he is a little dominant with other dogs. Toby is good on the lead, very affectionate with people and does not seem to need a lot of exercise. He needs a loving home.

‘Dexter’ - is an all black bull terrier cross male dog. He is about eight years old and he was admitted to the home at Christmas 2000. Dexter, like most Bull Terriers, does not like other dogs. He would need to live in a one-dog household. Dexter loves teddy bears - to chew. He loves going for walks in the woods around the home, he is good on the lead and he is very affectionate with people. Make Christmas 2001 a better one for Dexter.

These and many other older dogs would dearly love a chance to make somebody happy. The kennels are open from 1pm to 5pm Tuesday to Saturday and 1pm to 4pm on Sundays at Cheshire Dogs’ Home Tel 01925 269500.
