A spokesperson said: “In June of this year Rain Rescue will have been rescuing, healing, loving and rehoming dogs and cats for 20 years, and it is always a thrill to our staff and volunteers alike, when we see these animals who were often so broken when they came to us, excitedly going off with their new families to their loving forever home.

“But for the occasional few animals it doesn’t happen this way, and they are overlooked by people wanting to adopt.”

The centre is appealing for readers to help Jai, a black male Greyhound, and Mabel, an Akita.

They have both been at the charity for a long time but workers believe they have been overlooked by people looking to adopt.

Jai could live with children eight years and over although he cannot share his home with other pets.

He would love a family that is able to build up leaving hours gradually.
