Frida is searching for a new home in the UK (Image: miraclesmission.org)
A sweet dog has been languishing in kennels for three years while desperately waiting for someone to offer her a forever home – but tragically, nobody has stepped forward.
Little Frida was rescued by Miracle’s Mission as a puppy but continues to be passed over by would-be adopters because of her supposedly « unloveable face ».
The unfortunate pup, who is available for rehoming throughout the UK, « walks differently » following an accident that occurred just months after her birth in Bosnia. This could be the tragic reason people keep overlooking her.
A statement from the rescue centre reads: « Frida was rescued by a kind lady when she was a puppy and has lived in a shelter ever since.
« When she was rescued, she had an injured leg – presumably after being hit by a car. She was assessed by an orthopaedic specialist in Bosnia and her leg was operated on to straighten it. »

« It healed very well, and she has no issues walking, running or playing. Her rescuer does not believe this old injury bothers her at all. »
The three year old canine has excellent recall and can « turn her paw to anything given the right motivation, love and support ».
She travels comfortably in vehicles and is accustomed to human company, as the shelter owner « takes her everywhere with her ».
The statement continues: « She weighs around 15kg and is spayed and vaccinated. She is brilliant with people and other dogs and has no reported behavioural concerns.
« She is a very well-rounded and amenable dog. Frida is an active dog and would like to live with another playful, energetic dog.
« Her rescuer does training with her, her recall is good, and she can turn her paw to anything given the motivation, love and support. »
However, after enduring three lengthy years in kennels, the rescue centre has posted a fresh appeal on Facebook, hoping to spark more interest.
The post reads: « Apparently this is an unloveable face. For over three years, sweet Frida has waited for a suitable home.
« She is amazing with dogs and people, even kids. She loves going for walks and riding in the car. You can take her to the pub or a cafe, and she loves being sociable. What more can she do to get your attention? ».
Reacting to her rehoming plea, one user commented: « Darling Frida, you look adorable. Shared with love and hope for you. »
Another user chimed in: « Wish we were living near you. What a sweetheart. » A third user simply stated: « So cute. »
Anyone interested in offering Frida, or another dog under Miracle’s Mission’s care, a new home can reach out to the team at info@miraclesmission.org.
