AFTER being discovered on the streets, Pippa, an 18-month old cross-breed bitch, has been nursed back to health.

But now the National Animal Sanctuary Support League in Darlington is hoping to find a new home for the animal.

Pauline Wilson, from the league, said: "She was picked up in Middlesbrough by someone who saw her in a really bad way."

Pippa has put on weight and regained confidence, having been "a little bit grumpy".

But Mrs Wilson said: "She will make a lovely pet for someone."

Anyone who can offer Pippa a home is asked to call the league on (01325) 321855
