Charlie

Eight-year-old crossbreed Charlie was rescued from her previous home after being kept in unsuitable conditions. She’s a gentle giant who loves attention from her friends but can be a little wary around new people. She can be a little strong on the lead so would like some more training while out walking. She’s at Felledge Animal Centre, in County Durham, where she’s waiting for an adult-only home. More information is available by calling 0300 123 0708.

Alfie

Eleven-year-old Jack Russell terrier Alfie is a very sweet natured boy who can be a little shy to start with. He’s looking for a patient owner who can help him adjust to a new home. He’s at Goshill Animal Centre on the Isle of Wight. For more information about him please contact the centre on 01983 840287.

Tiny puppy dumped on coldest night of the year will be warm and loved this Christmas - with the woman who rescued him!

Once Patterdale terrier pup Elfie went home with RSPCA officer Heather Cook it was clear he’d never be leaving…!

Parts of England were submerged in snowdrifts and in other corners of the country the temperature had dropped to -13C. So when a tiny six-week-old terrier puppy was found dumped in a cardboard box in Manchester it was a miracle the vulnerable baby had survived.

Patterdale terrier pup Elfie was shivering when he was found by a woman who was walking to the shop on 12 December, just weeks before Christmas.
