STRUGGLING to find love this Valentine's Day? Well so are some of man's best friends.

Leading pet charity, the RSPCA, has revealed the top ten "most unloved" breeds of dogs who struggle to find their perfect partner.

The average time it takes to rehome a dog in RSPCA care is 38 days, but for some of the animals in the charity's care they have to wait a little bit longer.

The latest data from the charity shows that Rhodesian Ridgeback’s have waited the longest for their forever homes, with an average stay of 118 days.

Bull Terrier type dogs have proven to be the most unpopular pooches with English Bull Terrier crosses waiting 97 days and American Bulldogs waiting an average of 76 days.

Lisa Hens, pet welfare expert at the RSPCA, said: “The staff who care for our animals day in and day out know just how loveable each and every one is and how different they are from one another but we do find that dogs of some breeds sadly take longer to find their perfect match.

“This is probably due to a combination of reasons. For example, size or beliefs about particular breeds and types can stop people from even considering the possibility of adopting certain dogs.

"And with so many of the same type of dog in our care it can be difficult for individuals to stand out from the crowd despite their great potential. Sadly in some cases, animals are overlooked just because of how they look.

“We would urge anyone looking for a pet to do their research especially as the reputation of a particular breed or type is often undeserved.

"Just like people, all dogs are individuals and they should find out if they are a good match for that particular animal to see if they can offer them a loving home.”

The data has revealed that Staffordshire Bull Terriers are the most frequently seen dog breed in RSPCA care and also wait longer than average for love - 47 days - despite Staffies being recently voted Britain’s most loved dog.
