Adopt Me: Look beyond brindle and there's a fun-loving pup

The Herald's annual series SPCA Adopt Me is now running. Each day a different animal available for adoption at the SPCA will be featured in the paper.

Paxton is a fun-loving Staffordshire-cross puppy who is looking for a reliable owner to provide him a friendly home.

The 12-week-old, with his eight brothers and sisters, was surrendered to the SPCA in October.

Four of Paxton's litter have been adopted, while five remain at the village.

Canine attendant Barbara Shakeshaft says Paxton is "quite cool", although being a brindle he might face a long wait for adoption because they are one of the least-popular types of dogs that go up for adoption. MORE>>
