GREYHOUNDS who have been overlooked by would-be adopters for nearly two years are still searching for a loving home.

Bobby and Ben arrived at the Dogs Trust Newbury rehoming centre in June 2016 and have seen nearly 200 of their furry friends leave in that time.

The one-year-old black greyhounds continue to miss out and staff at the centre believe visitors are put off by their breed and coat colour.

Nicki Barrow, the manager of Dogs Trust Newbury, said: “Black Greyhounds are commonly overlooked in kennels and this is sadly the case for Bobby and Ben.

“Black dogs are often passed up by people looking for a dog as there is a misconception that they are not as pretty or as cute as others.

"But we know from experience that our black dogs are so affectionate and just as loving and adorable as their fluffy friends."
