Alan Titchmarsh helps Battersea dog Ruby find a home in Somerset

A homeless dog has a new home in Castle Cary, Somerset, thanks to television presenter Alan Titchmarsh. Ruby, a Dachshund, had spent 90 days at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Old Windsor but after appearing on the ITV Alan Titchmarsh Show she caught the eye of Liz Ayris, who made a 250 mile round trip to rehome her.

Skateboarding to a new home in Guildford – Maisy the Battersea dog that spent 431 days waiting for a new owner

A stray dog has been rehomed by Sally and Malcolm Crockford in Guildford, Surrey, after spending almost half her life in kennels. Maisy the Mongrel had been at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home Old Windsor in Berkshire for 431 days, making her the charity’s longest stay resident.

Maisy first arrived at the world famous charity on New Year’s Day, 2011. Like 55 per cent of dogs that come in to Battersea, two year old Maisy was brought in as a stray after she was found wandering the streets. She was at the charity 12 times longer than the average stay for a dog before finding her dream home.
