EACH month The Northern Echo highlights one of the many dogs looking for a home at the Dogs Trust Darlington, in Sadberge, near Darlington.

Cyril arrived at Dogs Trust Darlington in January last year and although people have fallen in love with this handsome chap, he has sadly found himself back at the centre.

He is a fabulous boy and would fit wonderfully into a home with experienced German Shepherd owners.

He is friendly and loves people he knows – preferring them to dogs.

Once Cyril, who is three, has built a bond with you he is a very affectionate boy and enjoys being bathed and groomed and cuddled.

As he can be wary of new people he needs to be the only dog in an adult only home. With owners who would enjoy taking him out and about in quieter areas where he won’t come across too many dogs, and who are happy to carry on with his training, he will be a wonderful part of the family.

If you think Cyril could be the one for you, please visit him at Dogs Trust Darlington, Hill House Farm, Sadberge. which opens Thursday to Tuesday noon to 4pm and closed on Wednesdays. Contact 01325-333114.
