1. Watson - Pointer
Watson is a Pointer. Watson can live with teenagers but not other pets, although he can walk with other dogs. He is fully house trained and can be left alone for a few hours once he has settled into his new home. Watson can clear a five foot fence with ease so your boundaries will need to be higher than this and the garden secure. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
2. Trixie - Border Collie cross
Trixie is a Border Collie cross puppy. Trixie is very undersocialised and needs a home free from other pets and children under the age of 14. She is house trained but may need a refresher after a short stay in kennels. She's also going to need all of her basic training. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
3. Sunny - Dutch Shepherd
Sunny is a Dutch Shepherd who is looking for a committed child free home to show her some kindness. Dogs Trust have no history for her and she may need house training and all her basics. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
4. Sparky - Jack Russell Terrier
Sparky is a Jack Russell Terrier. He may not be house trained so will need someone around most of the day to give a refresher if needed and to build up leaving hours. He can live with children aged 14 and over. He will need to be the only pet in the home but can walk with some calm quiet dogs. | Dogs Trust Merseyside
