On the most romantic day of the year, an appeal has been launched to find someone to love an unlucky lurcher after he has been taken back to Dog’s Trust in Bridgend three times. But hope might be in his favour, as all the workers at the centre are crossing their fingers that this time round he will finally get his happy ending.
Originally, this five-year-old pooch named Conker came to the centre in November 2018 when he was brought in as a stray, and has been waiting for his fourth home ever since September 2022 when he was brought back yet again. But although it might sound like the unlucky hound could be Bridgend’s most badly behaved dog he has actually been described as a “true gent”, leaving the team at the centre baffled by his repeated returns.
Conker has had to sit back and watch over 150 dogs find their forever-afters since he got to the centre, making the staff there all the more determined for someone to give him a permanent place to live. After watching him get overlooked by hundreds of potential new owners, Dog's Trust's Rehoming Centre Manager in Wales, Angela Wetherall said: “We are lucky enough to have seen hundreds of dogs find their forever homes over the last five months but nothing could really compare to seeing Conker finding a loving new forever family of his own.
