Make mine a Stella ... or a Trudy, Polly or Larry!

Can you offer a home to one of these dogs?

These dogs are hoping to start the New Year with a new home so they can enjoy a safe and secure future.

Newly registered charity Appledown Rescue, based in Eaton Bray, is searching for owners for the quartet - but you'll need to have a secure garden and a well kept house.

All potential owners will be house-checked before taking on a dog. In addition, families with children below the age of seven will only be homed a puppy.

The dogs - Trudy, Larry, Polly and Stella - have been especially put forward for homing by Appledown and range from young to old.

Trudy is an 11-year old Border Colle bitch and is with the home due to the sad death of her owner. Trudy has a lovely temperament and would live peacefully with other dogs, male and female. She is looking for a loving home to see out her last few years in comfort.

Larry is one of several Jack Russell Terriers at the home at the moment. Larry is a two-year-old male and loves people but has not lived in a house before so he would need to be house trained.

Appledown always has a variety of cross-breeds looking for homes.

Polly is one of many Staffordshire Bull Terriers with the rescue home. She was a stray so comes with little history but is believed to be about five years old. Polly is very affectionate and looking for a home where she is the only pet.

Stella is about 18 months old and is believed to be a Mastiff cross. She is very playful and gets on with other dogs, but would need some training. The home will not unite her with a family with children, though, as they cannot be sure that she would be protective of a house.

Anyone interested in taking one of the animals should call Julie Shelton on 01525 220282.
