AFTER being discovered on the streets looking like a "little bag of bones", Pippa the cross-breed bitch has been nurtured back to health.

Now the National Animal Sanctuary Support League (NASSL) in Darlington is hoping to find a new home for 18-month-old Pippa.

Pauline Wilson, of NASSL, said: "She was picked up in Middlesbrough by someone who saw her in a really bad way. The woman tried to trace her owners, but couldn't."

"She will make a lovely pet for someone."

Anybody who can offer Pippa a home should contact NASSL on (01325) 321855
