THIS wrinkly little puppy is looking for a new home with someone who can offer her the affection she craves.

The shar pei puppy, who is eight weeks old, is part of a litter bred by Helen King, at her home in Darlington.

While her brothers and sisters are outgoing, independent little dogs, she takes after her mother, who is very affectionate.

Helen said: "They are lovely dogs, very affectionate, and become very attached to their owners.

"I was hoping to donate this little girl to perhaps a family with children who may have lost a parent, where they could benefit from having something they could give lots of love and affection and get lots back too.

"I've tried to find a family or someone like that, but it is very difficult. There must be someone out there who could provide an ideal home for her."

Anyone interested in adopting the puppy should contact Helen on (01325) 380989.
