Happy Ending for Shrek?
Seven-year-old Shrek
Staff at Dogs Trust Glasgow are hoping this week’s release of the new film ‘Shrek: Forever After’ will help their aptly-named longest term canine resident (called Shrek) find his very own fairy tale ending.

Seven-year-old Jack Russell Terrier Shrek has been looking for a forever home for nearly three years. On average dogs at Dogs Trust spend six weeks at a Rehoming Centre before finding a new family, which means that poor Shrek has spent nearly 26 times as long searching for his paw-fect home.
 
Sandra Downie, Dogs Trust Glasgow Rehoming Centre Manager, explains: “Despite his name our wee Shrek is no ugly ogre! He’s a very sweet-looking and good-natured little chap but he keeps on being overlooked by visitors to the centre.
 
Due to his past experiences Shrek takes a while to get to know you and two potential homes for him sadly fell through in the past. He’s a real cuddle monster once you’re friends though and really does deserve his very own ‘furry tail’ ending!”
 
Shrek likes dogs but is not keen on feline company. He is in better shape than his Hollywood namesake and is very bouncy so new owners should be quite active and have a secure garden.
 
For further information please contact the centre on 0141 773 5130, visit 315 Hamilton Road, Uddingston, Glasgow G71 7SL or tweet @dt_glasgow.
