The ninth dog of Christmas...Megan
Next in our Twelve Dogs of Christmas series is the adorable Megan, a charming collie hoping to find the perfect family


The ninth dog in our Twelve Dogs of Christmas series with Dogs Trust is the lovely Megan, a collie who is looking for a new home.
Tracey Rae of Dogs Trust Shoreham says, ‘Megan is a very gentle lady who is looking for a constant companion. Once she settles in a home she will love her owners endlessly.

‘Megan can be a little worries when she first meets new dogs, so she would love to go on quiet walks with her new owners.
‘She would be suited to an adult-only home and an environment that is calm to help her feel at ease in her surroundings. She would be suited to being the only dog in the home too.
‘Meg is a typical collie and loves to exercise, so a garden she can relax and feel secure in would be ideal for her.'

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.
