THE team at Dogs Trust Harefield is currently caring for an array of pets looking to escape to the country to a permanent home.  

Whether home is a country cottage, bungalow or farmhouse, the Harefield sanctuary has lots of dogs seeking new owners in quiet rural locations.

Richard Moore, manager at Harefield, said: “It’s not just humans who want to escape to the country. Lots of our fantastic dogs are seeking new homes in rural areas.

“They require ra much quiter life with minimum interaction with strangers, which includes being exercised in areas largely free from other dogs.

“We hope by highlighting some of our amazing dogs looking for the quiet life, we can find them their perfect matches.”

One dog awaiting a rural abode is Oskar, a four-year-old beagle.

Oskar, nicknamed Omelette due to his cracking personality, loves nothing more than adventures with his favourite humans.

While he settles into a new home, he would like company for most of the day and to have a regular daily routine.
