This lovely collie cross is the eleventh dog looking for a new home as part of our Twelve Dogs of Christmas series with Dogs Trust.

Ben is a very kind and gentle 10 year old who loves his walks and is still active despite his age.

An older gentlemen, Ben would prefer a quiet home and he likes his own space so would like to be the only dog in his new family, but he could live with children over the age of 16.

Charming and set in his ways, Ben is a gorgeous dog who is looking for a loving new home where he can relax and settle down.

If you think that you are the perfect family for Ben, please call Dogs Trust Canterbury on 01227 792505 or pay Ben a visit at Radfall Road, Chestfield, Nr Whitstable, Kent CT5 3ER.

For more information on Dogs Trust you can visit their website www.dogstrust.org.uk.

We think all dogs deserve a wonderful home but they are a big responsibility, so please remember not to pick up a dog this Christmas unless they can be financially supported and receive the time and devotion they require.

If you would like to help Country Life and Dogs Trust to spread the message that a dog is for life, not just for Christmas, why not get involved with the Dogs Trust #presspaws campaign.
