Meet the RSPCA rescue dogs from all over the UK who have waited the longest for their forever homes - including a County Durham lurcher who the charity are still hoping will 'come out of his shell.'
Nervous lurcher Bandit is one of many dogs across the UK who is proving difficult to rehome. Some dogs can take longer to rehome for a number of reasons, including health problems, behavioural challenges, and long-running investigations, reports The Express.
Statistics show that more than three million households bought a pet in the first year of the pandemic alone, but many more remain in desperate need of a loving home. Here are eight dogs, including Bandit, that the RSPCA is desperate to rehome.
