Dog of the week

Newburytoday hopes to help Dogs Trust Newbury to try to find a home for Jasper

This week Dogs Trust Newbury is appealing for a loving new home for two-year-old cross breed Jasper, who is looking to cut a splash in a happy home.

Dogs Trust Newbury centre assistant manager Jenny Hopkins said: "Jasper is a fun-loving bouncy little scamp who loves splashing around in his paddling pool but dreams of a trip to a larger pond. This energetic lad would be best suited to owners who enjoy long rambles in the countryside, and he'd love a garden with a paddling pool to jump around in.

"Jasper would benefit from basic obedience training with lots of treats and cuddles and a set routine to help him settle in."

She added: "Jasper is an affectionate, happy chap who loves meeting new people and dogs so could go to a home with an existing dog. This precious pooch would make a wonderful addition to a lucky family."

If you think Jasper is the dog for you please contact Dogs Trust Newbury on (01488) 658391 or visit them at: Plumbs Farm, Hamstead Marshall, Newbury, Berks, RG20 0HR.
