Sweet Sidney is now ready to find his forever home. At 14 years young, this lovely little Bedlington Terrier has settled beautifully into rescue life, and shown us exactly who he is, a friendly, playful, affectionate old boy who still has plenty of sparkle left.Since coming into our care, Sidney has had a full makeover, a much-needed dental and a clean bill of health from our vets, and he’s now feeling so much more comfortable. Unfortunately he has had to be completely shaved, but it will soon grow back, but in the meantime he appreciates a jumper or a coat for walking in. He’s eating well, enjoying his days, and loves being around people. He may be a golden oldie, but he still has a cheerful, cheeky side that makes everyone smile.Sidney is looking for a calm, loving home where he can enjoy the comforts he truly deserves, a warm bed, kind hands, and someone who appreciates the quiet joy an older dog brings.
