Dogs Trust Evesham is looking for rural adopters for its rescue dogs.

The team believes many of its dogs would thrive in a countryside environment and is appealing to those in rural areas to consider adoption.

The trust has a range of dogs waiting for their forever homes, including Percy, a two-year-old Border Collie.

Found as a stray, Percy was in poor health when he was taken in by the trust and required multiple vet visits and medications.

Now recovered, he is a "brilliant boy" who would benefit from a quiet, hands-off approach.

His ideal home would be with adults and sensible older children, but without other pets.

Chris Slight, manager at the shelter, said: "It’s not just humans who want to escape to the country; lots of our fantastic dogs are seeking new homes in rural areas.

"We currently have a selection of dogs that would all hugely benefit from being rehomed in quiet locations away from neighbouring dogs."

The trust understands that not all dogs are suited to the busy life of public parks and doggy day care.

Some of the dogs, including those who have experienced an unsettled or neglected past, are uncomfortable around other dogs, or lack confidence and dislike loud noises, would benefit from the peacefulness of a countryside setting.

Mr Slight added: "Many potential adopters are looking for a dog that can cope with being walked in public parks, going to doggy day care and are comfortable around other people and dogs, but for some of our dogs, this busy life is not for them.

"Instead, they require routines and a much quieter life with minimum interaction with strangers, which includes being exercised in areas that are largely free from other dogs.

"We hope by highlighting some of our amazing dogs looking for the quiet life, we can find them their perfect matches."

Other dogs looking for rural homes include Lenny, a three-year-old Dobermann, and Tilly, a four-year-old Border Collie.
