MARTI is a good natured tan and white 10-month-old Border Collie cross, who has come into the care of RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch through no fault of his own.

He is described as a lively youngster who enjoys his walks. He needs an active new owner as he is bigger than a collie and is a fairly strong boy.

Geraldine Haynes, branch trustee, said: "Marti loves company and would be really happy in a home where someone is around a good part of the day.

"Give this boy your time and patience and he'll make a great companion and pet."

Marti is in good condition, housetrained, neutered, chipped, vet checked and vaccinated.

He will be rehomed with four weeks' free pet insurance. Please call Geraldine for more details about Marti or other dogs on 01886 822083.

There are no dogs on site as they continue to be boarded at private kennels.

Last week's dog Bernie has been reserved to a lovely couple following last week's appeal.
