A six-year-old bull lurcher is once again looking for a new home after being returned into care. 

Earlier this year Dawn was rehomed after spending more than a year in RSPCA care. 

The branch said Dawn spent two months in her new home but has since been returned back to the shelter as she was not coping well with being left alone. 

She has been described by staff at the Suffolk Central branch in Martlesham as a "beautiful girl, who loves being in the company of people and making helicopter circles with her tail whenever she greets her favourite people".

Dawn is looking for a place where someone will be at home all of the time, and is on behaviour medication for separation related behaviours which she may need to continue on long term.

She loves to play football and other games, as well as zooming around the large enclosed field. 

Dawn is an active dog who loves going for nice long walks, so ideally is looking for an active home.

Staff said: "After being in kennels for such a long time she deserves all the attention she can get."
