We know there are Angels out there, we just need more of you to share your lives with these wonderful older dogs.
SHERLOCK
Age: Approx 18 months old
Gender: Male
Breed: Medium crossbreed
Comments: Sherlock is full of energy and life, although he doesn't like bikes! But if you can run around and play ball or tug for hours and hours then Sherlock will be lots of fun.
Ideal Home: Would suit a lively, energetic family environment.
Please someone consider our poor Sherlock. As one of our longest residents Sherlock would love a new forever home. He's been with us for over 12 months and has not had any interest just because he's a plain Staffordshire Bull terrier cross, yet given the chance he would blossom and would suit an active couple. After so long, our wish is a new home for him. update:- Sherlock is now in a foster home in Spalding & gets on well with all dogs big & small.

Tess is a 7 year old Rottie. Poor Tess has been at Dogs Trust, Merseyside since 2005. She has been rehomed a couple of times but has sadly been returned.
She has now developed arthritis in one of her shoulders so she can be lame at times. Tess will be rehomed on a part-foster basis which means that Dogs Trust will pay for veterinary fees for this condition.
She is good with most dogs and loves to play off lead but she would be better as the only dog in the home. Tess really needs a Rotties experienced home.
Tess is looking for a home with no other pets, and with adults only, as she prefers the quiet life these days. She has been with Dogs Trust too long and it's her turn to find a forever home. Update poor Tess is still waiting.
