MEET Nikki, a lovely five-year-old tri-coloured Border Collie, in the care of RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch through no fault of her own.

She is a very sweet natured girl who is friendly and affectionate with everyone she meets.

Geraldine Haynes, branch trustee, said: "Nikki loves company and adores people. She enjoys her walks, but can be quite nervous around other dogs and will need some help to get used to being around them.

"Nikki is in good condition, housetrained, spayed, vaccinated and microchipped."

Ring Geraldine on 01886 822083 if you would like more information about Nikki or other dogs looking for their forever homes.

The branch is holding a Candlelight Night at The Holdings on Friday, November 30 at 6.30pm.

Mrs Haynes said: "This is a special event where we will remember beloved pets who have gone to Rainbow Bridge by reading out their names and celebrating their lives.

"It will be an opportunity for like minded animal lovers of the county to come together and enjoy a pre-Christmas event at the end of the second year of the centre being open. There will be carols, candles, mince pies and drinks.

"We would like to know names of pets, to be remembered on the evening, by Monday, November 26."
