This stunning boy is Buddy and he's desperate to find a home.

He is a four-year-old lurcher cross and he's currently in the care of National Animal Welfare Trust (NAWT).

He likes lots of fuss and enjoys long walks. He can be shy when meeting new people but is friendly with people he knows.

If you are interested in homing this beautiful boy, you can see him at NAWT, Tylers Way, Watford-By-Pass WD25 8WT.

Now for a different sort of Buddy. NAWT would love to hear from volunteers who are interested in becoming a Dog Buddy. Although taken for walks, dogs at the Watford Rehoming Centre, spend a lot of time on their own in their kennels while waiting for a home. Manager of the Centre, Jackie de Friez, says some of the dogs, particularly the Staffies, crave company and would love someone to just sit with them. If you would like to become a Dog Buddy, contact Jackie on 020 8950 0177.
