It is a day when couples share of joy of being together.

But while many people look forward to spending Valentine's Day with a special someone, one over-looked pooch is hoping her dreams of someone to love her will come true.

Abandoned and found wandering the streets as a stray, Bella is described by members of staff at Dogs Trust in Snetterton, South Norfolk, as 'affectionate with human and canine chums alike'.

As a result, she gets plenty of fuss and attention from those at the charity.

Yet despite having tonnes of love to give, she has not yet been lucky enough to find a loving owner of her own.

Diane McLelland-Taylor, rehoming centre manager at Dogs Trust Snetterton, said: 'All of us at the rehoming centre adore Bella, as she is such a sweet and special girl.

'We were instantly won over by her striking looks. We would love to see her find a family to call their own.

'She enjoys nothing more than plenty of fuss from people, and loves food and playing with a range of toys.

'She's a super dog with a fantastic personality. We're hoping Bella finds her 'pawfect' match to spend this and many more Valentine's Days with.'

Bella is looking for a home with owners who can be around most of the time while she settles into her new environment.

She could live with another four-legged friend or children aged 10 and above.
