A dog is in desperate need of a new home after becoming so DEPRESSED in kennels he cannot even get out of bed.
Jasper the English springer spaniel has been in kennels for six months and has spiralled into a gloom which makes him reluctant to venture outdoors.
Despite getting plenty of attention from staff at Ferne Animal Sanctuary near Chard, Somerset, he desperately needs to bond with a new owner.
Re-homing manager Tara Nirula said: “Some days he just lies in his bed looking so sad. It is heart-rending. Jasper urgently needs a place he can call home.
“Although he gets lots of care and attention from the staff, he really needs a loving owner who is home most of the day as he doesn’t like to be left on his own.”
“Jasper is a very loving, loyal dog who can only cope with living with one person as he gets very attached to individuals.
“He is good with other dogs, but would be better as the only pet in the home as he likes all the attention.
“He is a very intelligent dog who loves playing fetch with a ball and his recall is excellent.”
Jasper urgently needs someone who has a lot of time to give him plenty of love, enjoys human company and would make someone a wonderful companion.
Tara continued: “We are desperate to find Jasper a permanent loving home with a special owner who can give him another chance of happiness.”
