Wimbledon fever sweeping the nation

As tennis-fever grips the nation, Dogs Trust Merseyside is hoping to serve an ace and find a tennis ball-loving terrier her forever home before a new Wimbledon champion is crowned.

Rehoming staff are keen for aspiring ball girl Linda to find a loving adult-only home where she can settle in at her own pace before the end of the tournament.

Linda is described as the 'life and soul of the party with a contagious enthusiasm for playing and life', both loving the chance to go on adventures with her owners or learn new tricks or alternatively to snooze away the day when her pet parents are in the mood to relax.

Georgina Lower, Dogs Trust Merseyside manager, said: “We’re hoping to find our own Linda her grand slam home.

"Linda has worked really hard with our training team, showing improvement in socialising with dogs and walking with her trusted four-legged companions.

"Linda is looking for a quiet, forever home where she can continue her training and find her paws.

"We'd love this tennis-ball lover to find a home before the end of Wimbledon."
 
Dogs Trust Merseyside is open to the public Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from noon-4pm.

No appointment is needed to visit, meet dogs looking for homes, seek advice or apply to adopt.

A Dogs Trust spokesperson said that as every dog is unique, finding the perfect match can take anything from a few weeks to several months, and the charity will work with potential adopters to find the right dog, however long it takes.
