Adorable dog who always wants cuddles placed on RSPCA's 'red list'

She has become one of the RSPCA's most overlooked dogs - despite always being up for a cuddle.

Coral has been patiently waiting at Bath Cats and Dogs Home for an owner to take her home - but nobody seems to want her.

The lurcher has been added to the RSPCA's red list, which aims to help "extra-special animals" find loving homes.

A RSPCA statement reads: "Coral is a lovely girl. She is sweet and affectionate with those she knows and will quickly become a cuddly companion in her new home.

"Coral has been overlooked in kennels - but we love her. She will make a fantastic companion to the right household."

Coral can be a little naughty (RSPCA)

The four-year-old dog has been described as "sparky, funny, cuddly and a little naughty".

"She enjoys playtime with a tennis ball and is very sweet taking her soft toys to her bed," the statement adds.

Coral has a very high prey drive and gets frustrated when she cannot chase after small animals spotted on walks.

Although this is a common trait for her breed, she will not be able to walk off lead in unsecured areas.

The statement reads: "She doesn't get on well with other dogs, although Coral is muzzle training.

"The best solution is secure dog fields or paddocks where you can both relax and have fun together."

Coral, who is mainly black with white freckles on her snout, will need somebody to be around most of the day while she settles into her new home.

She can live with adults and older teens - but would need to be the only pet in the home.

"If you like a bounce to your lurcher then Coral is for you," the statement adds.

To rehome Coral, or any other animals at Bath Cats and Dogs Home, contact their team on 01225 787321 or via email maprehoming@bcdh.org.uk.
