A Belgian Shepherd dog born with two noses, who was struggling to find a new home because of his rare defect, is set to begin a new life after offers to adopt him flooded in from around the globe.

Five-month-old Snuffles had previously been rejected by four owners and was in the care of the Dog's Trust Rehoming Centre in Uddingston, Glasgow. But after issuing an appeal, the centre received 40 messages and 20 calls from people in the USA and South Africa, as well as Britain.Pamela Jackson from the centre, told The Mirror: 'Some families just turned up hoping to adopt him.'We wanted to pick the best home for him.'The eventual new owner took him for a walk to get to know him and they got on brilliantly.'He said Snuffles was perfect and everything he was looking for.'Snuffles was born with a rare congenital defect which gives him the appearance of having two noses.Vet Angela McAllister explained: 'Instead of his nostrils being fused together he's got some sort of split there.'It's a defect in his palate which gives him the appearance of having two noses as his nostrils can move completely independently of each other.'I've never seen the condition in my 20-year career.'To add to his unique appearance, Snuffles can also move both noses independently of each other.The centre's manager Sandra Lawton said: 'He may not have been blessed with the looks of Lassie but he has a heart of  gold and really can claim to be a dog in several million.'Snuffles will begin his new life with a family from East Lothian next week.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
