A fun-loving dog who keeps being overlooked is in search of a new home in the Edinburgh area.
Nelson, a small Jack Russell Terrier Spaniel cross, is seeking an experienced owner and a home with a garden preferably away from the city centre.
Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home say the male dog would need an adult-only home where there will be no visiting children, and he is the only pet.
Resharing his profile on social media in hope of finding the perfect match, they said he's been with the home for a while "and continues to be overlooked".
Those at EDCH added: "Nelson is a happy wee boy who loves to have fun. He likes playing with his toys, whether that’s chasing after a ball, throwing around a squeaky toy, or keeping himself amused with a tasty filled Kong. He has lots of energy so likes to keep active and might even like to run with his new owner or go hill walking.
"He is an affectionate boy but he does need a bit of space at times, and he enjoys learning and loves enrichment. Nelson does have resource guarding issues, so needs an understanding owner who will commit to working with a professional to manage this. He can be reactive around other dogs, but has been working on this and is now happy to wear a muzzle and is more likely to take a treat than react badly.
"Nelson has a lot of potential and is sure to be a very rewarding pet for the right owner.
