A TERRIER-cross puppy is desperately searching for a new family after he was abandoned by his owner.

Amos is a lively fluffy bundle of fun, aged between nine months to a year, who would fit in well with a family with children who have a lot of time to spend with him.

Angela Taylor, who is looking after the young dog, said he would be a perfect companion who will give a lot of love and affection.

She said: "He is a lovely dog who just loves everyone and everything. He needs to be with someone who will spend a lot of time with him to train him."

Amos will be fully vaccinated and microchipped before he is adopted by his new family. Anyone who can offer him a home can call Mrs Taylor on (01388) 812782.
