THIS is Bertie, an American bulldog who is hoping a loving new owner will take him on.

Bertie came into the care of the RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch as his previous owners didn’t look after him very well.

He is now a fit, healthy, happy dog looking for a new owner that will love, care and feed him.

Geraldine Haynes, branch trustee, said: "Bertie is a big dog, but don’t let that put you off as he is very good on the lead and walks to heel. He can even give you a paw and sit on command.

"Bertie is relaxed at the kennels and is friendly to everyone he meets when he goes for walks."

Bertie has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you can offer him a permanent home, please call Geraldine on 01886 822083.
