He's an old man with a huge heart and a lot of love to give - but nobody has stuck by his side.
Kengo, the 15-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier cross, is the oldest rescue dog across all Dogs Trust rehoming centres in the UK.
He was originally found as a stray in 2018 and taken to the Leeds centre, where he was happily rehomed with a family.
But in 2021, his owner sadly passed away and he found himself in the care of the rehoming team again.
Kengo was then adopted once more, only to come back for a third time in April, after his owner could no longer care for him.
Now, lovable Kengo has his paws crossed that he'll find a final home to spend his twilight years.

Kengo is well above the age of four - the average age of a Dogs Trust dog - and is well and truly into his retirement years.
Whilst he is currently enjoying lots of fuss and attention from his carers who adore him, nothing would compare to finding a loving home of his own.
Amanda Sands, manager at Dogs Trust Leeds, says: "It's especially sad when older dogs come to us through no fault of their own but Kengo is getting lots of TLC here at the rehoming centre and we're really hoping somebody will open their home and heart to this mature chap really soon."
Kengo is a "fun lad" looking for a quiet home life and a human companion to relax with.
Despite his maturity and age-related arthritis, he still really enjoys walking and playing in the garden.
He could live with children over the age of 12, but would prefer to be the only pet in his new home as he tends to prefer human company.
"Kengo is a wonderful chap, and we would like to hear from potential new owners who can offer him a cosy bed where he can put his paws up and enjoy his later life," Amanda added.
The rehoming centre is keen to encourage people to consider the advantages of owning an older dog.
Senior canines need less exercise and their personality is already shaped so new owners can really understand and appreciate their new family member.
Older dogs are also used to living in a home so come house-trained and are not as destructive as a puppy.
If you can offer Kengo the forever home he deserves, please visit Dogs Trust website to start the rehoming process.
