Thank you so much for the front-page picture of one of our loveable puppies, Bond ("Season of ill will for poor puppies", The Argus, December 6).

Unfortunately, Bond still has no home and will be with us for Christmas unless we can find a suitable, sensible family for him to go to.

If anyone is interested in giving him the loving home he needs and will be at home having a quiet Christmas, you can contact us at the National Canine Defence League (NCDL) Shoreham centre on 01273 452576.

A dog is a huge responsibility and the new family needs to have thought about this carefully. Bond is a three or four-month-old chunky mongrel and is a lovely chap who desperately needs a home.

Please remember, a dog is for life, not just for Christmas.
