Border Collie Desmond, who’s being cared for by the crew at Dogs Trust Ballymena, will have fun his first birthday this Valentine’s Day (Wednesday 14 February).
Staff on the native rehoming centre say it’s of no shock he was born on probably the most romantic day of the 12 months, as he’s an “intelligent and affectionate lad with a huge heart”.
It is hoped it gained’t be lengthy earlier than somebody falls ‘drooly’, madly, deeply in love with Desmond.
Conor O’Kane, supervisor at Dogs Trust Ballymena Rehoming Centre, commented: “All dogs want to love and be loved, and Desmond is loveable in every way.
“He is handsome, fun, energetic and extremely loving.
“Typical of the Border Collie breed, he is very bright so anyone hoping to dote over Desmond will need to keep him both physically and mentally stimulated.”
Conor continued: “Desmond’s one true love at present is playing – balls, toys, puzzles you name it, he is there giving it his all.
“Give him a ball and he will play all day, give him a teddy and that will be hurled in the air at speed. He is a fantastic boy for interactive play and has already mastered some tricks with the training team including sit, lie down and touch.
“As such a young lad he still has plenty to learn so requires owners that are dedicated to giving him the time he needs. He can be a goofy boy so makes you laugh with his antics and due to this and his loving nature, he has stolen our hearts.
“We will make sure he has a day to remember on his birthday, but we hope it is the only one he spends in our care as it’s time for him to find his love nest with someone who is devoted to Desmond.”
Desmond requires an grownup solely home, with a safe backyard in a quiet location the place he can play to his coronary heart’s content material.
Desmond may probably stay with one other settled canine pending profitable meets.
