A smiley 14-year-old Staffie is looking for the perfect retirement home, after his previous owners could sadly no longer care for him. Can you help?
Scraps, who adores companionship and cuddles, first came into the care of the RSPCA Northamptonshire branch in April this year. While he has been overlooked due to his age, Scraps is a friendly pup in need of a home where he can get lots of fuss and attention.
Great at meeting new people, Scraps also loves to curl up in the sun and relax, potter around the garden, and go on walks. It’s worth knowing that he could live with older children of secondary school age or older, but would prefer to be the only dog in the home and live without cats.

“Scraps is such a sweet boy who loves cuddles! He enjoys getting lots of fuss so would like his new owner to be around most of the time which would be perfect for someone who is working from home or is retired,” Kate Whitehead, Dog Adoption Coordinator at the branch, says.

“We don’t know why he has been overlooked so far as he is such a sweet and loving boy. It could be his age that is putting people off but I’m sure Scraps would tell you that age is just a number as he enjoys walks and is a friendly, happy soul.”
