1. Kent - Lurcher
Kent is a Lurcher. Kent can live with children of high school age but needs a pet free home due to his reactivity to other dogs and high prey drive. He is house trained but may toilet when left so ideally needs someone who is around most of the day. Kent has shown some protective behaviours over his toys. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
2. Chelsea - Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Chelsea is Staffordshire Bull Terrier. She can live with children of high school age but no other pets. She is house trained and can be left for two hours or so once she's settled in. Chelsea has itchy feet that require medicated mousse daily. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
3. Kitty - Border Collie
Kitty is a Border Collie. Kitty will need a home where she can be the only dog whilst she gains confidence, but can have walking friends. She is very nervous so a quiet household where any children are over 16 will be required, and with a secure garden. We have no history for Kitty so cannot guarantee that she is house trained or used to spending time alone. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
4. Geoffrey - Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Geoffrey is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Geoffrey is a lovely boy who is looking for a home where he can be the only pet and where any children are over the age of 14. He is house trained and once settled could be left alone for around 4 hours without worry. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
