A 16-MONTH old Kelpie cross needs a forever home.

Waggy Tails Rescue in Wimborne highlights one dog each month that is struggling to find a home.

This month, Oscar is in the spotlight.

Described as energetic and affectionate, Oscar can be a little shy when first meeting people.

A Waggy Tails spokesperson said he is keen to make friends with other dogs and is good both on and off lead.

He has a strong prey drive, which can make him distracted on walks.

“He is very intelligent and partly from a working breed, so he will need plenty of mental and physical stimulation,” a spokesperson said.

“In return, he will shower you with cuddles and share his tennis ball with you – as long as you keep throwing it!”

Anyone interested in providing Oscar a forever home or foster home is asked to call 01202 875000, email admin@waggytails.org.uk or visit www.waggytails.org.uk
