Adorable dog with 'receding hairline' is desperately searching for new home

Despite being just one-year-old, little Fraya has a hairline that could rival a man in his retirement years.

The crossbreed, who is up for adoption with Blind Dog Rescue UK, looks as though she has a receding hairline due to the darker patch of fur on top of her head.

However, it is hoped her unique appearance will help her to stand out in rescue so she can secure a new home in the UK.

A Blind Dog Rescue UK spokeswoman said: "Freya is a nice, calm girl who is not too interested in playing with other dogs but enjoys her walks.

"She would suit an older person who enjoys gentle walks and has a quieter house.

"Freya would love a home with a garden and can live with another dog who isn't overly lively or a cat for company."

The medium-energy dog is currently living in a private shelter in Bosnia - but will be flown to the UK once an owner is found.

"Our adoption donation is £350 - this includes travel to the UK, their vaccinations, pet passport, microchip and all preparation for travel," the spokeswoman added.

"They also come with five weeks free insurance, excluding The Channel Isles & Isle of Man."

Although Freya is fully sighted, Blind Dog Rescue UK primarily works to rehome blind and partially sighted dogs who have been subjected to the "worst of humanity yet still have an astonishing capacity to adapt, love and become perfect ambassadors for blind dogs everywhere".

Many of the dogs in their care have been victims of abuse, neglect, disease or trauma - and struggle to survive in shelters.

A Blind Dog Rescue UK statement reads: "It is incredibly difficult for sighted dogs to survive any length of time in these shelters let alone blind or partially sighted dogs.

"We need to get to these dogs quickly and secure their immediate release and treatment.

"These dogs may have been deliberately blinded, involved in road traffic accidents or long term sufferers of painful conditions such as glaucoma.

"They need veterinary care and to be given the safety and comfort of a foster home in which to start healing.

"Here they are given love and affection and a warm bed - possibly the first they will have experienced in their lifetimes.

"At this point, we are able to start assessing and promoting these wonderful dogs for forever homes."

To adopt Freya, or find out more information about him, contact Blind Dog Rescue UK via their website www.bdruk.org.
