DOG FOUND - A young dog was found wandering without a collar in Treorchy Park in June this year and unfortunately has yet to be claimed. The healthy pup appears to be a Jack Russell/Staff crossbred male, is white coloured with tan markings, and has a lovely nature. He has been well cared for since by a family in Cwmparc but his original owners have still not been traced despite an extensive poster campaign.

If anyone knows who the dog may belong to, please contact Laurie Bush at 203 Park Road, Cwmparc or phone 01443 772486 or mobile 07950 969322 as this lovely pup now urgently needs to be found a permanent home but preferably to be returned his owners.
