Shelter Dog Who’d Been Rejected 18,000 Times Lands Opportunity Of A Lifetime
“The Loneliest Dog in the U.K.” has been given the opportunity of a lifetime thanks to movie director Michael Bay. The Staffordshire bull terrier mix was featured in an article by Mirror, and her story of rejection quickly spread across the internet.
Freya the shelter dog was passed over 18,000 times over the course of six years and dubbed “the Loneliest Dog in the U.K.”
She was taken in by Freshfields Animal Rescue at six months old where she was diagnosed with epilepsy.
That’s when director Michael Bay saw an article on Freya and tweeted: “Found this in the news last week in the UK. We gave the Loneliest Dog, a role in Transformers. Freya, has epilepsy and has been in a shelter her whole 6 year life. We are also going to find her a home. If not she will come to my house. Welcome to the cast Freya!”

The dog lover hopes that featuring the dog in the movie will bring enough attention to Freya to find her a forever home.
And the staff at Freshfields hopes that her medical condition doesn’t put anyone off to adopting her. She’s waited so long and deserves to find a loving family.
Whoever adopts her will need to be patient as she adapts to a new lifestyle. A house with no kids and no other pets is required.
From a lifetime spent in kennels to Hollywood. Next stop: a forever home! 🙂
