Deaf Edinburgh dog looking for a compassionate new home with short walks

An adorable Staffordshire Cross, who is believed to have been born deaf, is currently looking for a new forever home.

Arthur is ten years old and adores attention. He can live comfortably with children aged 12 and above and is keen to enjoy short walks and explore the great outdoors with his new family.

Currently living in a foster home where he gets some training, Arthur is looking for an owner who would be happy to dedicate time to teaching him hand signals for communication.

Waiting at the West Calder Dog Trust centre, the friendly doggy is ready to gift his love, charm and devotion to a compassionate family who would be delighted to welcome him.

Talking about Arthur, the staff at West Calder said: "He is a friendly boy who is happy to say hello to everyone he meets but can be misunderstood by people, so will need help learning hand signals for communication.

"Arthur loves to explore the great outdoors and can easily manage short walks. He would like a home with a garden where he can potter around, enjoying the sun and chasing after his toys.

"Arthur is looking for owners who will be at home initially, as he isn't used to being left on his own. Arthur is eager to please people for a tasty treat and is happy to jump in the car to go on new adventures."
