Dog of the Week: Buster @ West Calder

Introducing... Buster!

There are so many deserving dogs of the week, that blog editor Alex had to ask our Twitter followers which one she should choose! @jrJuliejr chose me because her kids 'love my smile' and she enjoyed visiting me recently! Thanks, Julie.

Age: 10

Breed: Large Crossbreed

Likes and Dislikes: I'm a friendly, eager fellow who is a great favourite with walkers and volunteers who reward me with the biscuits I love! I'm housetrained and not destructive, but I do get a little anxious being left for long, so I'd need some work on that once I was securely settled in.

My favourite thing is getting off the lead to play football or dog tug-of-war! Don't be fooled by my age - there's plenty of life and enthusiasm in this slightly-older dog yet.

I'm fine with kids, but not cats. I'm sociable and happy to share my kennel with both male and female dogs.

Needs: I was well cared for in my last home, but developed a very strong bond with my owner to the point that I have a few anxieties and nervous behaviours. My carers say my new owner needs to be experienced and confident to help me get along and gently work on my fears without accidentally reinforcing them.

Dog of the Week: Hinny @ Dogs Trust Kenilworth

Introducing... Hinny!

Age: 5

Breed: Rhodesian Ridgeback Crossbreed

Likes: I'm a friendly lad who loves company more than anything and who has been overlooked for no particular reason my carers can think of! I get on well with older children and other dogs, too.

Dislikes: I'm not very keen on being left alone for long periods of time.

Needs: I'm best off with owners who have experience of big breed dogs which is why I'm really better suited to teenagers, too!

Contact: Call Dogs Trust Kenilworth or 01926 484 398 or see more dogs needing homes online.

Previous Dogs of the Week: Tiger @ Evesham | Isobel @ Ilfracombe

Dog of the Week: Dougie @ Dogs Trust Salisbury


Introducing... Dougie!

Breed: Dalmatian Crossbreed

Age: 7

Likes: I'm a big fan of the common cuddle! Company is a big bonus for me, so I'd love a home with people who are at home much of the day. I'm very happy playing with other dogs and could share a house.
Dislikes: Nothing much! Sometimes people complain I'm over friendly but I can't see how you could be!

Needs: Although I love small kids they are a bit overwhelmed by my size and bouncy demeanour, so I should really live with adults / teenagers.
