He always has a big smile on his face.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe loves nothing more than walks and playtime and is just really happy to be in the company of humans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn adult-only home with a large and secure garden for him to bound about and play would be ideal for this boy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe would love to be the only pet so he can get all the attention he loves, however he could potentially be rehomed with a well-socialised canine friend, pending a successful introduction.<\/p>\n<p>Big Z will have some health exclusions on insurance which will be discussed with potential owners.<\/p>\n<p>If you think you can offer this wonderful smiling boy his forever home then please apply via the Scottish SPCA website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scottishspca.org\/rehome-a-pet\/9552-big-z\">https:\/\/www.scottishspca.org\/rehome-a-pet\/9552-big-z<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are looking for a new home for Big Z, a happy and smiley Staffordshire bull terrier, to make his Christmas wish come true.
