Each month, The Northern Echo is highlighting one of the many dogs looking for a loving home at the Dogs Trust, based in Sadberge, near Darlington.

CHARLIE is a one-year-old male Saluki Cross, a type of lurcher.

He is described by staff at the rehoming centre as a real extrovert who is full of fun. As a young dog, he is full of mischief and his ideal home would be with an older family who would enjoy a companion with a zest for life.

Ledean Lawson, from the Dogs Trust, said: β€œHe would prefer to be an only pet in a home, but a fun-loving family would be perfect.”

To meet Charlie, or some of the other dogs looking for a loving home, visit the Dogs Trust rehoming centre every day, except Tuesday, between noon and 4pm. For more information call 01325-333114.
