Miley Cyrus rescues dog

Miley Cyrus has reached out to her followers on Twitter.com in the hope of finding a new home for an injured rescue dog.

The Disney star was saddened to read about the plight of Keller, a three-month-old Chihuahua that had suffered chemical burns and fractures before being taken in by Los Angeles' Saving SPOT! Dog Rescue organisation.

Cyrus has asked her fans to help find a home for Keller, but admits she is keen to take the canine in herself.

In a post on her page, she writes, "Please save this puppy... he deserves a good life possibly a part of the Cyrus Clan."
