Twirl has come a long way from the sickly, bedraggled, scared 6/8 week old pup that was found abandoned in a roadside ditch in July, thanks to the wonderful, loving care of his foster family, the Ralphs.

Now 4 months old it is time for Twirl to start looking for his forever home. Twirl, we believe, is a Jack Russel x King Charles Spaniel and he brings both those breeds characteristics to his personality.

Full of puppy energy, Twirl is a confident little boy who loves nothing more than a good play, be that with his toys, other dogs or humans. He is going through his "nippy" stage so, for that reason, we are looking for a home with children 8 years +.

Twirl can live with other dogs but would be best suited to a more playful, but firm, dog as he can be a tad annoying and bossy for older or shyer/nervous dogs (all puppy traits that he will grow out of as he learns).

Twirl can also live with cats cause he knows that they are the boss. Twirl walks well on the lead and enjoys his mini walks out and about. He is still being house trained and is very good if he has access to outdoors.

Twirl needs a home where there is someone at home all day (or definitely most of) as he is still only a baby of 16 weeks. A fully secure garden (no holes or gaps). He is a fun, loving, playful ball of puppy delight and will make a super best friend.
