People in Surrey are being asked to consider rehoming a larger dog.

The RSPCA says it can take up to seven times long for bigger breeds to find a “forever home” compared to smaller ones.

Huskies and Staffordshire Bull Terriers are among the dogs at the charity’s Surrey rehoming centre that are struggling to be placed.

The charity says there are certain misconceptions regarding bigger dogs and prospective adopters are being urged to keep an open mind.
