3. Teddy, a cocker spaniel
Teddy is a nine-month-old puppy with a lot of life to give. He's described as a "live wire" who required a very active lifestyle to keep up with his fun energy. He will need to be enrolled into puppy training classes as part of his adoption. He would be suited to a household with people aged 14 and over. Photo: Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
4. Arnold, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Arnold is described as a "pocket rocket", with heaps of energy. He would best fit a "very active" home and would make a great running companion, and is good with other dogs when on walks. The six-year-old has a sensitive side and can be quite wary in some situations. He is best suited to an experienced owner with a secure garden. Photo: Thornberry Animal Sanctuary
