A pink dog is looking for a new home after being left at an animal shelter.

Staff at Animal Friends of the Valley in Wildomar, California found the bright pink boxer waiting for them one morning after being left at their anonymous drop off kennel overnight.

The dog, later named Asia, was left alongside her brother and was found to be suffering from a condition called Demodex Mange – resulting in her strange pink appearance.

The condition – a skin disease caused by mites – usually appears in dogs which have an underdeveloped or impaired immune system.

It causes severe itching and pain and can lead to skin lesions and hair loss. Ten-month-old Asia and two-year-old Artie were also found to be suffering from eye and ear infections.

The duo are now being cared for by Last Chance At Life Animal Rescue Centre in Oceanside, California.

They are responding well to treatment and will soon be looking for a new home.
