Shut inside a derelict barn with 44 other dogs and never once taken for a walk, border collie Ellie's life was one of complete misery and neglect. That is, until her rescue from the run-down premises 15 months ago.
However, while almost all those animals have since been rehomed to loving families, she is still waiting to be adopted some 450 days later. That means she's now been in the RSPCA 's care longer than any other dog in Wales, North Wales Live reports.
Currently being looked after at the charity's Bryn-y-Maen Animal Centre in Upper Colwyn Bay, staff there blame the neglect Ellie suffered for her anxiety and inability to trust people. Along with the other dogs, she was completely unsocialised and had never gone outside, worn a collar or been exercised.
