CAN anyone provide Tara with a home in her twilight years?

The elderly German Shepherd, who is about nine or 10, was taken to the RSPCA animal shelter at Altham by one of the charity's inspectors and seems to have had an unhappy life. She needs a quiet home with a warm fireside, with no young children or other animals and somewhere without stairs to climb. Contact the RSPCA on 01254 231118.

Kate, a Staffordshire bull terrier featured two weeks ago and Patch, a Bedlington terrier cross whose photo appeared last Saturday, have both found new homes.
