CURLY, a Patterdale terrier cross found wondering the streets, is in need of a home.

Curly is thought to be between one and two years old, and was picked up in the Easington area by a dog warden about five weeks ago and taken to Deerness Kennels in Langley Moor, near Durham.

Kevin Forsyth, owner of the kennels, said: "He is very, very friendly, I think he would be suitable for any family, young or old, that can offer a loving home."

The kennels always has RSPCA dogs which need homes. For information about giving a home to Curly, or any other dog at the centre, ring 0191-378 0439.
