Need to find a home for a dog.

Scott from Maraenui

I am looking for a home for a lovely dog named Thor. He is a 1 year old staffie x pointer. He is great with kids and pets. He has a very nice nature and very obedient. I walk him without a lead and he sticks by my heel. I have been looking after him for a couple of weeks now as he was going to be destroyed. If you can care and love this boy . Cheers
