On Thursday, the director posted a series of tweets appealing to people to help Bowie find a home.

David Bowie's eyes appeared to be a different colour due to a condition called Anisocoria, according to this piece in the Independent, which was caused by an injury that left one pupil permanently dilated.

“It’s such a shame that Bowie has been overlooked so far, but we’re confident we’ll find a home for him soon," Rehoming Centre Manager Angela Wetherall was quoted in a press release sent to Mashable.

Anyone interested in giving Bowie a home can call the Dogs Trust's Bridgend branch on 0300 303 0292.
