A senior dog with a huge heart has been waiting more than 500 days for a loving family to see past his age and take him home.
Jake the German Shepherd is the longest-standing resident at RSPCA's Southridge Animal Centre, and staff say he is "desperate to get out of kennels" as the search for his forever home continues.
The nine-year-old affectionate boy has watched his friends come and go, including Izzi, a young crossbreed who was adopted in February, and Hattie, a cocker spaniel who recently found a new home after 71 weeks.
