He may be getting into the Halloween spirit, but gentle Snowy the dog is really anything but scary.

The two-year-old Border Collie loves cuddling up with his favourite soft toy, enjoys the company of people and likes the quiet life.

And now Snowy, who is currently at Dogs Trust's Snetterton rehoming centre, is looking for a permanent new home.

'He's looking for a loving new owner who can help him gain confidence and work on his development. He responds well to positive reward-based training and can already do a few tricks.

'Snowy is looking for an adult-only home away from the hustle and bustle of city life. He would like to be the only pet in the home so he can have his new owners all to himself.

'Snowy will make an excellent loyal friend - will you be the friend he is looking for?'
