Animal welfare experts are appealing for a home for a five-year-old Staffordshire Cross named Nellie who is currently staying at Dogs Trust West Calder.
Her carers say she is a shy girl who would be most comfortable in a peaceful household.
A spokeswoman for Dogs Trust said: “As she takes time to form trusting relationships, she would like to meet her new family a few times at the centre before going home. Once she has made friends, Nellie is a loving companion who can’t resist a belly rub from her favourite people.
