NEGLECTED and with no place to call home, adorable Rottweiler Dee Dee is in desperate need of a new start in life.

The one-year-old is currently in the safe hands of staff at RSPCA Southridge Animal Centre in South Mimms.

But having spent over a year in kennels, it's time Dee Dee's luck changed.

A spokesman for the Packhorse Lane animal centre told the Welwyn & Hatfield Times: "Poor Dee Dee has been through a lot in the first year of his life: he has not really been able to be a puppy and has had to grow up quickly due to kennel life.

"He is a lovely boy and is a favourite with all the staff and volunteers."

Dee Dee is best suited to a home with no cats.

He is good with other dogs, and with children aged 10 and above.

An experienced owner - who is ideally at home most of the day - would be perfect for the black and tan Rottweiler.

The spokesman added: "Dee Dee really deserves a loving home where he will get all the love and attention he so desperately wants.

"He is really just an overgrown puppy who just wants to be loved."

If you can give any of Dee Dee a home call RSPCA Southridge Animal Centre on 0300 123 0704.

Alternatively you can visit him at the care home open every day, except Wednesdays, from 11am until 4.15pm.

It is now open until 7.30pm on Thursdays throughout the summer.
