A dog who was abandoned and tied to a bush has finally been rehomed after a long wait.
Rubble, a bull breed dog, was found tied to a bush, along with another dog, in Sefton earlier this year with them both being rescued by a kennel assistant from Freshfield Animal Rescue nearby. In April the charity released an image of the two adorable dogs on its social media channels in hope of attracting people interested in adopting the pets.
Before staff knew it, the Facebook post had attracted thousands of online interactions and the charity was quickly able to rehome one of the two dogs. Vikki Ferguson, a kennel assistant at Freshfield, said at the time: "The dogs had clearly been well cared for and as I approached them they seemed excited to see me. I took them back to Freshfields where our vet gave them an initial assessment.
