The DSPCA have shared a heartbreaking post as a family didn't turn up to collect a dog they agreed to take home.

Jordan the dog has been with the DSPCA for over 500 days and this is the second time that a family hasn't turned up to bring him to his forever home.

Taking to Instagram to share snap of Jordan dressed up with a tuxedo bandana, the DSPCA shared that no one had turned up to collect him.

"Jordan got all dressed up to meet a family who were coming to meet him this morning but they never showed up," they wrote.

"This is the second time a family have been due to meet him and didn’t show! Please don’t get our hopes up."

Sharing a video of Jordan, the DSPCA said that he had been there for over 500 days.

"Friends we are calling out for you all to share this not for us but for Jordan," they appealed.

"He’s 12 years old and has been 500 days in the shelter. We want nothing more than for him to find a home. He likes and needs routine. It’s going to take him some time to settle into a new environment but we know there is someone out there for him, there has to be!

"We would love to see him go to a home with another dog, unfortunately Jordan doesn’t share our enthusiasm on wanting to live with another dog. He likes his space. He is happy until it’s invaded by a dog and then he is stressed and wants out of that environment. Pushing it on him despite the fact that it stresses him out isn’t fair."

"Jordan will take time to settle into a new home and he may not venture out for walks immediately and so his home needs to have a safe and secure garden where he can go and potter around and spend one to one time with his new owner. This will help build a trusting relationship and a special bond just like staff have done at the shelter.

"If you can offer this sweet boy a home and bring those Better Days please come & visit him at the shelter."

People were outraged that Jordan had been stood up.

"Stop. That’s so cruel," wrote Virgin Media's Richard Chambers.
