Robbie needs a new home

Animal welfare experts are appealing for a new home for Robbie, a fun-loving German Shepherd currently staying at Dogs Trust West Calder.

His carers say Robbie is a playful boy who loves being centre of attention.

A spokeswoman for Dogs Trust said: “Robbie is always excited to meet new people and can’t resist a fuss.

“The one year old is a bundle of fun who loves being outside and would happily spend hours in the garden chasing his tennis ball.

“His ideal new home would have a secure private garden he can zoom around and play fetch in. A keen explorer, Robbie loves hopping in the car to travel to new places where he can investigate smells or meet his doggy friends on walks.

“Robbie is a clever young dog who is still learning.

“He would like to live with a family who love large breeds and would be able to continue his training at his own pace.

“Robbie is enthusiastic boy who would like for his new owner to offer patience and understanding as he learns. With his high-spirited nature, Robbie would make an excellent companion for an active adult-only household.”

If you think you could provide a home for Robbie or any of the 50 dogs currently available for rehoming, please contact the West Calder Rehoming Centre on 01506 873459.

You can also follow Dogs Trust West Calder on Twitter @DT_WestCalder and Instagram @dogstrust_westcalder for regular updates on dogs available for rehoming.

West Calder Rehoming Centre is currently recruiting volunteers to help with kennel cleaning, laundry, groundskeeping, maintenance and greeting guests in reception.

If you are interested in volunteering, please call the centre or email Volunteer Coordinator Garry Lee at Garry.Lee@dogstrust.org.uk. The centre is also seeking new foster carers across the whole of the Lothians and the Scottish Borders to join its Home from Home scheme.

If you could open you home to a foster dog or would like to find out more, please email HFHWestCalder@dogstrust.org.uk.
