CHARLIE is a 10-year-old pure black labrador in the care of RSPCA Worcester and Mid-Worcestershire Branch. He is looking for a new home because of his original owner's ill health.

Geraldine Haynes, branch trustee, said: "Charlie is very sweet natured and acts like a much younger dog. He enjoys company and his walks. Charlie is good on the lead and with other dogs. He is a lovely boy who would be a loyal, loving companion."

Charlie is housetrained, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Please call Geraldine on 01886 822083 for more information.

For more rescued animals seeking adoption, please visit the branch website: rspcaworcester.org.uk or call Geraldine on the number above for dogs or Pamela on 01905 841354 for cats and rabbits.

The cats can be viewed at the charity's new rescue centre, The Holdings, Holdings Lane, Broomhall, near Worcester WR5 3FP any day (except Wednesdays) from 11am to 4pm.
