AN eight-month old labrador- cross dog is in need of a new home.

Pauline Wilson, from the National Animal Sanctuaries Support League, said Sandy needed an owner who would be at home most of the day.

She said: "He is a lovely, happy little chap, very friendly, and he will make someone a lovely pet. He is used to cats and fine with other dogs, but because of his young age he really needs someone who is not out of the house for more than a couple of hours a day."

Sandy was one of a litter of 13 puppies which the National Animal Sanctuaries Support League rehomed last year, but he was returned because his owners did not have enough time to spend with him.

Anyone interested in rehoming Sandy can contact the National Animal Sanctuaries Support League on (01325) 321855 or 07748 268822.
