Shelter Dog Wednesday - Jonty

Every Wednesday we run a special feature on a rescue dog looking for a loving home. This week, the spotlight is on Jonty, a cheerful Boxer who dreams of living life to the fullest with a loving family.

Battersea and Cats Home is the well-known backdrop of ITV's Paul O'Grady - For The Love Of Dogs but what you see on the show is only a fraction of the work that the shelter do. Battersea takes on over 9000 cats and dogs a year, including Jonty, a friendly boy looking for a loving, forever family.

Name: Jonty

Breed: Boxer

Sex: Male

Age: 8 years 7 months

Site: London

Reference: 359062

Bouncing boy Jonty doesn’t realise that he is now into his later years and still thinks he is a young pup with the plan to never grow up.

He is very loving but also strong, so is looking for confident owners who are used to handling this.

Jonty would like to be the only pet in his new home, however he can live with older children who won’t enough rough and tumble games. A private garden is required.

To meet Jonty, please contact Battersea Dogs & Cats Home’s London centre on 0843 509 4444.
