Euro 2016 dogs Chris Pawlling and James Collie seek new home
England v Wales was not just being played out in France.
While Chris Smalling tried to get to grips with Gareth Bale, at Dogs Trust Shrewsbury Chris Pawlling took on Gurr-eth Bale.
The canine rescue centre, based at Roden, near Shrewsbury, took in eight abandoned pups recently and have named four after England Euro 2016 stars and the other four after Wales players.
Joining Chris Pawlling on the England side are Spaniel Sturridge, Dele Allisation and Jamie dig up the Yardy.
With Bale for Wales are Hal Dogson Kanu, James Collie and Joe Leadley. The rescue centre is hoping to find homes for the lovable pups.
Louise Campbell, Dogs Trust Shrewsbury rehoming centre manager, said: "These adorable puppies are fantastic fun and would make wonderful pets for footy-loving families, whether they're from England or Wales.
"They are always on the go and have bags of energy so will need active owners who appreciate the demands of a young puppy, and can happily kick a ball about for hours with their new four-legged best friend.
"Our puppy teams aren't as experienced as the human England and Wales squads, so they would benefit from a little extra training to get them in tip-top condition for their new positions as family pets.
"They will need homes with secure gardens to bound around in and would of course love a football to play with.
"As the pups are still very young, they will be cheering on their teams with us at the rehoming centre, but we really hope they will find their perfect match before the tournament comes to an end."
