The tenth dog of Christmas...Skip

Skip is always on the go and adores playing with toys and going on walks - so a typical jack russell then

adopt a rescue dog - skip

Lively Skip is the ninth candidate in our 12 Dogs of Christmas series with Dogs Trust looking for a new family to take him in and make his Christmas.

A typical terrier, Skip is always on the go and adores playing with toys and going on walks. With so much energy, Skip is looking for a new home where he can look forward to long walks and not being without company for too long.

A boy who enjoys being the centre of attention, Skip will need to be in an adult-only home where he is the only dog.

Dogs Trust Merseyside are helping Skip with his training and would love to see him with a new owner who is committed to continuing their training as well as having fun with such a happy, lively young dog.

If you think Skip is the terrier for you, call Dogs Trust Merseyside on 0151 480 0660 or visit the website www.dogstrust.org.uk
