A RETIRED police dog is looking for his fur-ever home in the North East.

10-year-old Belgian Shepherd Seth is looking for a new home to put his paws up after retiring as a General Purpose dog earlier this year. 

Sergeant Adam Fegan, who works in the dog section at Northumbria Police, said: “Seth's a fit and well dog who has no health concerns other than old age slowing him down a little.

“He still enjoys his walks but doesn’t need mile-long walks – throwing of a ball or taking a nice stroll would suit him down to the ground.

“Seth’s a large dog at 42kg, but is very obedient, walks closely on and off the leash and has a good standard of other obedience. He loves humans and adores a scratch around the ear.

“He’s lived his entire life outside so may take a little adjusting to living indoors. He would be best suited with older children in their teens or a home with no other pets.

“He can be dog aggressive, so would need to be walked in fields or areas with little chance of crossing paths with other dogs.”
