Look at the transformation of Lila after five weeks in Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary's care!

Lila was just three months old at the end of May when she was brought into the Edenfield Sanctuary as a stray, having been found neglected and taken to the vet. The bulldog was found to have a number of skin conditions, an umbilical hernia, an eye ulcer and cherry eye - she will need an operation on her eye in the near future.

Rehoming Supervisor for Dogs Sallie Conroy said: "She has been having medicated baths and a lot of cuddles which she loves and she has changed massively in looks and personality in the five weeks. She now knows how to play ball and she loves to box and enjoys a good game of tug of war. It's been amazing how much she has transformed. We are so pleased with her progress."

Lila is not yet available for adoption.
