SID is a lovely, large 10-month-old American Bulldog puppy in the care of RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch.

He is a very big boy, handsome, in good condition and now needs a home he can call his own.

Geraldine Haynes, branch trustee, said: "Sid's temperament is excellent - very puppyish, and so sweet and affectionate.

"He knows sit and is so gentle when taking treats from you.

"He is a gentle giant of a puppy who had a rough sad start to life, so really deserves a special forever home where he will get lots of tender loving care."

Sid is a bright, clever boy who will respond well to training. He will be neutered shortly and is vaccinated and microchipped.

Please ring Geraldine on 01886 822083 if you feel you can give Sid the time, space, and exercise he needs.

The branch is holding a candlelight evening at The Holdings to remember pets on Friday, December 1.

Mrs Haynes said: "We will remember beloved pets who have gone to Rainbow Bridge by reading out their names and celebrating their lives.

"There will be carol singers, candles, mince pies and drinks."
