dog of the month

NAMe: pip

AGe: 8

BreeD: crossbreed

Pip is a timid boy who has captured everyone’s hearts, and he loves nothing more than snuggling up next to one of his favourite people. He’s a very tactile dog who enjoys company and affection. He had a poor start to life and now finds himself in need of a home again due to his owner’s ill health.

Pip is a little overwhelmed by kennel life but his confidence has improved since his arrival, with lots of encouragement from his carers. Pip loves to be with people and his ideal home would have someone there with him most of the day. He can be worried by other dogs but will walk with quiet calm friends. Pip has a small tumour in his mouth that is benign, but unable to be removed due to the location. He can live with children of high school age.

If you think Pip could be the four-legged friend you are looking for, you can find out more by visiting Dogs Trust Merseyside’s page at www.dogstrust.org.uk. You can also follow the doggy ‘tails’ on Twitter @DT_Merseyside and Instagram, @dogstrust_merseyside
