BEN is a black six-month-old lurcher puppy who is friendly, very sweet natured and affectionate.

He is currently in the care of RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch and the charity is now looking for Ben's forever home.

Geraldine Haynes, branch trustee, said: "Ben is friendly, very sweet natured and affectionate. He has typical puppy behaviour and would benefit from puppy training classes.

"He is a lovely boy who really deserves lots of tender loving care."

Ben is in good condition, neutered, chipped and vaccinated. For more information, please call Geraldine on 01886 822083.
