Scotland's ugliest dog seeks a new home

An animal charity appealed for a home for what has been dubbed Scotland's ugliest dog.

Marble, a Staffordshire bull terrier, was found roaming the streets of Greenock, near Glasgow, after having apparently been abandoned.

Staff at the Scottish SPCA re-homing centre in Glasgow think it was abandoned because it is getting too old to have puppies.



Marbles is struggling to find a new home because it is passed over in favour of prettier animals. It has a skin infection that has left scabs on its stomach and chest, has different coloured eyes and unusually pink ears and nose.

But staff at the centre said Marbles has a lovely personality and would make the perfect pet.

Kennel assistant Alan Grant said: "She's a very biddable wee dog, she's very easy to handle and she's never given us any problems."
