A dog who was "regularly beaten" by her previous owner and described as "the sweetest little girl" needs a loving new home.
Florina is at Safe Rescue For Dogs in Norfolk and is in need of a second chance at life.
She is a small crossbreed with black and white fur who was brought to the UK from Romania.
The pooch came to the attention of rescuers in the country when they went to reports of a stray dog.
When on the scene, they were met by Florina.
It was quickly realised that she was not the dog that they were called to the aid of.
However, when workers tried to return Florina to her owner, it was "established that she had an owner who beat her regularly".
Upon this discovery, rescuers quickly took her into their care.
Now she is in need of a loving new home in Norfolk.
The four-year-old crossbreed cannot live with cats, but could live with children aged six or above who may appreciate that she sometimes needs her space.
Those looking after her describe Florina as "the sweetest little girl" who loves everyone that she meets.
She gets on well with other dogs and could happily live with others, but would also be more than fine being the only dog in the home.
She is an affectionate dog who even smiles and poses for photos, as shown by Safe Rescue.
Those interested in adopting Florina should contact Safe Rescue for Dogs between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday or 9am to 4pm on Saturdays.
Safe Rescue for Dogs is a registered charity in Wymondham that focuses on rehoming dogs from both the UK and abroad.
The charity says: "While we take great pride in finding good homes for these truly amazing dogs, our aim is to effect long lasting change in Romania.
"In the meantime, we are here to help wonderful dogs who have so little and deserve a chance to find a loving family of their own."
