A FOUR-YEAR-OLD rottweiler is looking for a home after it was rescued by RSPCA inspectors.

Sykes was taken to RSPCA kennels in Bildershaw, County Durham, after being rescued during a cruelty case.

RSPCA inspector Garry Palmer said Sykes does needs medication, but the RSPCA would help with the cost.

He said that Sykes might be best suited for a home with experience of dogs, particularly rottweilers.

Mr Palmer said: “Sykes is such as loving, chilled-out and friendly dog. He will roll over and let you stroke his tummy. People often give this breed of dog a bad press, but Sykes really breaks the mould.”
