Waiting a year for a home and still no one wants him - plea to house pet dog

A PET pooch is desperate for a new home as he approaches his one year anniversary with the RSPCA, the charity says.

Cross-breed "Cerb" was brought into the animal centre in Wallasey last March after inspectors discovered him in poor living conditions.

The three-year-old had been given no training when he arrived at the centre but has now become comfortable around people again.

Wirral RSPCA inspector Anthony Joynes said: “He wasn’t given the best start in life and was a very boisterous yet nervous dog. It is understandable how it took a good few months for him to let his guard down and begin to trust us humans again.

“The staff at RSPCA Wallasey have put a lot of effort into training him and making him know he can trust humans and just be able to act like a dog.

“However his time is now definitely overdue in finding his forever home – he needs a home with experienced dog owners, no young children or other animals.

“It would be fantastic to see him go home in time for his first anniversary with the RSPCA.”
