This week's Pet of the Week, from Borders Pet Rescue, is Florence.

The charity told us: "Florence came to us back in June due to a change in circumstances in her previous home and is still waiting to find her new home.

"Florence is around three years old and is a German Shepherd cross Collie. She can be a little nervous until she gets to know you, but is then a very sweet girl. Florence has lived with dogs before and could do so again, she does need a cat-free home, however. Florence also needs a home with older children, aged 10-plus.

"Florence is not used to being left so in her new home this means she will need someone around for most of the time to start with before you can start to train her to being left. Florence also needs a secure garden with at least 5ft fencing as she has been known to escape in the past.

"If you can offer Florence a new home please give Borders Pet Rescue a call on 01896 849090 or email info@borderspetrescue.org."
