The puppy, named Fidget, moved into his new home after having spent four months in the shelter located in Macclesfield in Cheshire.The lurcher was described as being “part giraffe” and was brought into his foster home as it became he struggled to adapt to life in the kennels.A statement from the RSPCA reads: "Fidget came into one of our wonderful foster homes after Derby RSPCA appealed for help – they took Fidget in as a stray from another rescue back in November.

To remove pet hair from upholstery, dampen a rubber glove and run your gloved hand over it. The latex/rubber will attract the hair.

"But he was getting really frustrated with kennel life, they were advertising him and he was adopted but came back after two days, for no apparent reason."

“He is incredibly high energy in the morning and needs at least two bouts of 30 minutes of exercise per day.

"Fidget also makes a fantastic running partner.

“Generally, Fidget will play games during the day such as sniff and lick mats, ‘touch’ training and other things to keep him stimulated.”

Care for your pet. Regular visits to the vet and groomer are absolutely necessary. Insuring your pet may also be important to your pet’s health. Emergencies can happen at any time. Ensure your pet gets the help he needs no matter the cost with pet insurance.
