A DOG that was badly injured when it was caught on an electric fence is looking for a new home.

Whippet-cross Tilly suffered injuries to her ear and stomach when she was trapped on the fence just over a month ago.

Since then she has been cared for by Angela Shaw Taylor, who has had her fully vaccinated and neutered.

The four-year-old would flourish in the company of someone who would be able to spend a lot deal of time with her.

Mrs Shaw Taylor said: "Ideally, I would be looking for a semi-retired couple who would enjoy having her around. She needs her confidence in people rebuilding.

"She is a gentle, quiet dog and once she gets used to someone she will settle well. What she needs is somewhere quiet where she can live out the rest of her days knowing she is loved.''

Anyone who is able to offer Tilly a home is asked to contact Mrs Shaw Taylor on (01388) 812782.
