A 17-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, who is the oldest dog in care in Britain, is trying to find a new home.
Tonks was rescued from the streets and now needs a new home. Since he is 17-year-old, he is not very active but is still healthy.

Kenilworth Dogs Trust manager Emma Healey said: “It’s especially sad when older dogs come to us through no fault of their own. Tonks is getting lots of TLC here at the rehoming centre but we’re really hoping somebody will open their home and heart to this mature chap really soon.”
Ms. Healey says that older dogs make great companions and there are so many advantages of owning them.
However, people always avoid them while adopting a dog.
Ms. Healey said: “Tonks is looking for a quiet home to keep someone company who is around for most of the day. He doesn’t need much exercise but is happy to go for a stroll or potter about in the garden.”
“He could live with children over the age of eight and could live with another dog but tends to prefer human company so would be at his happiest relaxing in a comfy bed with his new family near him.”
Tonks is currently living at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Warwickshire and 30-year-old James Sowerby is his carer.
He is the oldest dog in care in the UK and it has been really difficult for them to find him a new home.
But they are still hopeful that Tonks soon will get adopted by someone and will find a new home where he can live happily with his owner.
If you or your friends or family are willing to adopt Tonks, please call 01926 569236 or go to the rehoming centre in Honiley, Kenilworth, CV8 1NP.
