Dogs Trust Merseyside is hoping that this Easter they can hunt out a forever home for one of their dogs with ears to rival Roger Rabbit.
Nine-months-old Dutch Shepherd Cross, Avy, arrived at the Huyton-based rehoming centre just before Christmas last year in a terrible state. But thanks to the team’s care, she has fully recovered and is now hoping to find her ‘hoppily’ ever after with a new family.
Georgina Lowery, Manager at Dogs Trust Merseyside, says: “Avy was found as a stray at just five-months-old and when we started looking after her, she was tiny and her fur was really patchy and sore due to mites. Our hearts went out to her.
“Now, three months later, she has blossomed into a beautiful young girl and has the most spectacular ears! She is really affectionate, energetic and loves to explore to satisfy her youthful curiosity, so we really hope that as the Easter holidays arrive, she finds her perfect match.”
Avy can potentially live with another dog and she can live with children over the age of ten. She loves being around people so can’t be left home alone until she is fully settled into her new home, and then time apart from her humans will need to be built up gradually. Avy is playful, loves her toys and likes to keep her brain as well as her body busy.
Georgina says: “Easter is recognised as a time of new beginnings, and we really hope that proves to be true for Avy.
“It is so sad when a dog of such a young age has gone through so much. All Avy lacks is confidence, but we have every confidence that with the right family she will become the perfect canine companion.”
