A neglected dog who was rescued from an abandoned property is now looking for a new home.
Misty, a two-year-old Catahoula Leopard dog, was one of two dogs found at the property in Wirral with no food or water.
Her companion did not survive and was found dead when the RSPCA arrived.

For the last year, Misty has been housed at the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire branch of the RSPCA.
Steph McCawley, supporter engagement officer at the branch, said: “Misty was in a bad way when she first came to our branch for rehabilitation.
“She was very underweight and needed a special diet to bring her back to a healthier size- she was also very frightened and timid following her ordeal and needed to learn to trust again”.
“Staff at the center working with her also soon realised she was deaf and so have been teaching her sign language commands to help her in the next chapter of her life”.
After a period of rehabilitation, the RSPCA is now looking to find a new home for Misty.
“She wants to be loved and she wants to be happy again. She is safe now, she is well, but our environment cannot meet all her needs, she is an active, bouncy young dog with an undimmed zest for life.
“We try our best, but she deserves better than what we can offer - she needs a loving home where she can get the attention she needs and deserves to help her put her sad past firmly behind her.”
