HE is the dog nobody wants.
One hundred and fifty days have passed since deaf Staffordshire bull terrier Noddy was one of four dogs dumped at the Hampshire Blue Cross Centre in April.
After an appeal in the Daily Echo, readers came forward to home the other three, leaving only Noddy unclaimed.
Lara Alford, manager of the centre, in Bubb Lane, West End, said: “It is heartbreaking to see him overlooked by people while all his friends in the kennels find new homes.
“We are so proud of how much he has learnt and we know that, with the right owner, he could be a wonderful companion.”
The Blue Cross will not put down an animal because it cannot find a home, but Noddy faces being sent to another centre.
Despite being deaf, Noddy has already learnt good basic training and recall through the use of sign language, picking things up as quickly as any other dog, learning to sit, stay, come, fetch and twist.
Ms Alford said Noddy is an affectionate sociable dog, who loves people, but can be boisterous and needs clear boundaries so would be best suited to a home where he is the only pet and a couple or a single adult without children.
Ring 023 8069 2894 to give Noddy a second chance.
