Description

Successfully rehomed by Blue Cross - Burford

Meet Irvin, a stunning black Patterdale terrier.

Irvin is a bundle of fun and energy. He loves long walks exploring the great outdoors and playing with his favourite toys. He also likes a cuddle and is very affectionate with everyone he meets. Irvin has a real zest for life would need owners who have the time to give him the exercise he needs.
Irvin is sociable with dogs but he would benefit from a home where he is the only dog so owners can dedicate their time to continuing his socialisation and training. Due to his breed traits we would not recommend he lives with cats or small animals.
He could live with older children pending introductions here at the centre.
If you feel you have room in your home for this adorable chap, please contact us today.

If you are interested in Ervin please call the centre ahead of your visit, lines are open from 10.30am (apart from Thursdays when we are closed to the public)

We'd love for you to come and see us. Visitors are welcome to walk around the equine walkway, cattery and small animal section. However, we operate restricted viewing of the dogs to minimise their stress levels.

PLEASE NOTE:
We may have a few dogs on the Burford site with kennel cough at the moment. Therefore owners of existing dogs wishing to adopt another dog are advised to contact the small animal department and speak to a member of staff who can advise on our procedures before visiting to see individual dogs.
