Adorable dog with eyes like David Bowie is in desperate need of new home

With eyes like David Bowie, this adorable dog should have been able to secure a home thanks to her striking looks.

But, sadly, she is still waiting for an owner to come forward.

Six-year-old Fly has settled in well at the RSPCA's Southport, Ormskirk and District Branch Animal Centre - but is ready to move into her permanent home.

The husky cross collie has been described as a "sweet and friendly girl who can be a little bit shy at first". She would be most suited to a "mature, pet-free home with any children over aged 16".

A statement reads: "We are looking for experienced owners who have previously owned a husky or collie.

"She will require some more positive reward-based training but with time and patience she will make a lovely addition to the family.

"We have found Fly to have settled into kennel life well, but she would prefer a home of her own."

The RSPCA is urging people to turn to adoption centres rather than breeders when wanting to welcome a new pet into their home.

"While it may be easy to find animals on the internet or even spend hundreds on an expensive breeder, you could risk heartache or huge vet's bills if you don't do your homework," a statement reads.

"By adopting and not shopping you'll also feel good for doing good - by giving an animal a second chance at life in a loving home!

"Plus, adopting from us means that you can relax knowing that all our animals are healthy, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

"As with all the animals we rehome, we'll pass on the details of their behaviour and veterinary treatment. You'll likely know more about your rescue animal's history than if you were to buy an animal online!

"We've taken the time to get to know each animal as an individual, to understand their likes and dislikes and to prepare them for life in a loving family, which means there are less likely to be nasty surprises when you get home!

"When you adopt a cat or a dog from one of our centres, you'll also get four weeks free pet insurance, which is vital to protect your pet's future as well as your bank balance! There's so much to gain from rescuing an animal in need."

If you're interested in rehoming Fly, or any other dogs at the RSPCA's Southport, Ormskirk and District Branch Animal Centre, contact their team on 01704 567624 or email them via info@rspcasouthport.co.uk.
