A DOG charity is appealing for a new home for this friendly and fun-loving puppy called Sox.

Sox is about five months old and tan coloured. He is being cared for by the National Animal Sanctuaries Support League (NASSL), near Sadberge.

He has been fostered in South Church, near Bishop Auckland, by volunteer Donna Brown. She said: "Sox is absolutely gorgeous, he loves people and loves other dogs, he is very friendly. I would love to keep him, but I already have seven dogs of my own."

To offer Sox a home, call Pauline Wilson on (01325) 321855 or 07748 268822.
